Mitt Romney showed a level of moral courage and other Republicans should be ashamed of themselves... no back bone and they do not deserve their seats...me heart goes to Mitt.. a well known and respected politician.

The majority of us really don't care. We need to fix our country first. Impeach everything w/e.

I love how Trump is causing the weeds to be exposed and reveal themselves.

And how about the 2 democrats that voted against impeachment in the house?

[luigigrottola]

Romney is still upset that he lost against Trump the last election, he has to get over it!

[sirellyn]

Well Tulsi abstained and one democrat switched sides in the house vote, and Trump ended up winning impeachment, and he's likely to win next election.

Thank you, Mitt Romney, for putting the party aside and do the right thing. I truly believe that we need a strong Republican Party as well as a strong democratic party. However, the republican party of today is corrupt. Trump never got cleared on anything he just got away with it instead.

This was Romney paying Trump back for the election promises...

Mitt Romney, the only republican with a spine.

'It's historic'. Watch Mark Dice's video on how many times they've said that now ...

A Mormon the only one with courage, and conviction, in a house full of hypocrites, who would have thought.

[DracuSRL]

So this is what it’s like to watch the Republican Party eat itself and see a empire collapse in front of your eyes, in real time?

*NEWS SHOULD BE NEUTRAL. NEVER FORGET THAT.*

True colors shown . Not like we never knew this.

[Tomcat]

How sad is the Republican Party when Romney is the only one with integrity.

[Madkingstoe]

I'm sure it wasn't a personal move on his part at all.

[faustinopinella]

Romney thanks for not being a coward like the rest of the lapdog Republicans, Utah loves what you did .
