When two Dems voted against impeachment in the house the GOP said they had bipartisan support to not impeach. Now I guess the Dems can say they had bipartisan support to remove

Mittens is toast. Want matter when we gain a few more senate seats this fall anyway. Should insulate us from Mitt shenanigans.

Mitt isn't going anywhere for five years but the GOP majority in the Senate may be in jeopardy. He could end up being in a position with a lot of power if the Senate is near 50-50.

In Jeopardy to whom? The Democrats who struggled to get out of Iowa? You are more likely to see the GOP nab full power back

This is exactly what is happening.....Mitt is power playing this exactly right.....if the Dems pick up 2-3 seats Romney will be able to control the Senate much like McCain did....

I would love to know what he's gaining personally from this.

I'm sad to say I voted for this clown in the 2012 primary because I thought he would make a good president at the time.

The politics of Utah Sen. Mitt Romney’s 11th-hour mystery on how he will vote on President Trump’s impeachment has become sticky now that a new survey finds that the president is more popular in Utah.The Utah Policy survey showed that for the first time since his election, a majority of Utah...

That is a right wing rag much like the Post is a left wing rag. Take what you read with a grain of salt in either one. The truth is to the left towards the center in The Examiner and to the right towards the middle in The Post. In other words, they’re both party mouthpieces.

You and me both. Well I didn’t vote for him in the primary but I did in the general. Still can’t believe the republicans nominated him.

Well the republicans will at least gain 3 senate seats in 2020 after the vote today. AZ, AL, and WV. That’s huge.

Trump is the only president to have a vote to convict him by his own party.

The GOP has to defend 35 seats and the Dems 12

How about those unemployment rates across the board? You see the markets? Trump's approval is on the rise even with that single vote that means NOTHING. The state of our union is the best its been in 2 decades.....

Yeah I’m not sure the house dems set out for this to be the positive it’s been for Trump. I mean Trump’s approval ratings is higher than Obama’s at this point in his presidency. And that’s with ALL the media support for Obama. Unbelievable really.
