    Take it from someone who cheered loudly at Faneuil Hall in 1994 when Senator Kennedy whupped Mitt Romney in the MA Senate debate: There is no percentage in dissing Romney for taking a step in our direction. We need to encourage Republicans to join us, not drive them away.

        Probably also worth reminding the nation’s editorial boards that this is only the second time Mitt has been on a ballot and won, and that to do it, he had to move to a state where registered Republicans outnumber Democrats 6 to 1.

        Jeff, Mitt Romney says he would vote for the wall. That, in my book, makes him a talker, NOT A DOER. I've already put him on my DO NOT TRUST list. I want to see fact based Republicans, not dumb💩 Republicans. Enough already. Oy vey!

        He’s even supporting “the wall”. Not sure he’s taken any steps, and pretty sure neither him nor a single other R senator will vote against Trump unless Mueller or SDNY brings forward direct and irrefutable charges of undeniable importance

        What step did Romney take that is in our direction that compensates for all the other ways he is against us?

        Yes, but... it’s an awfully low bar set for Republicans and most of them come nowhere close to clearing it. You can see why it’s hard to hand out gold stars ⭐️ for the bare minimum.

        oh please! In what way was mouthing some words at Trump, while asserting his position in favor of Trump's positions, "taking a step" towards Dems?

        The problem here is assuming that his op-ed is a "step in the right direction", when it is in fact a fig leaf for atrocities.

        He's so brave for publicly stating water is wet. It's so sad that the bar is so low for a man of such supposed integrity.

        Pardon we Dems who look to the GOP to do more than produce attention getting rhetoric. I'm not much into sports but even I recognize a bunt.

        He didn't take a step in our direction. He agreed with Trump's policies. Mitt Romney is a terrible person and you need to examine why you're so desperate to pretend otherwise.
