Right now it doesn't look to me like Romney cares about seeing conservative principles in government at all.
My guess is that if he sees conservative principles taking the form of widespread and blatant corruption throughout the political system, then he is voting is conscience right now and should be roundly applauded for taking a stand against it.

That's what any Christian of moral conscience would do.

Brackite did you vote for Mitt Romney in 2012?
Romney is the only Republican Senator who has any integrity or honesty left. Trump, as far as we can tell, has never had either of those qualities. Just ask any of the American banks that will no longer lend money to him, and the numerous contractors he has stiffed.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

We can see the political class protected by seeing Biden on the ticket as President and Harris as VP.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Sí. Back in 2010 in California,
Did it bother you that Romney said he wanted to cut off welfare to illegal immigrants and fine those who employed them in an effort to get them to "self deport?"

Not really. But I do remember Trump criticizing Romney mentioning "self deportation" right after he lost the 2012 election.

There is nothing conservative about Trump's wall.
legal immigration from Mexico into the US significantly dropped during the last two years of GWB's Presidency. At least 80% of the drugs coming from Mexico into the US goes through the ports of entry. Trump's wall is doing much more harm than good. And the destructive wall is being illegally funded.

It explains to me why GWB will only open his mouth to criticize Trump, never the Obama administration.
That is because Trump is so gawd awful. Worst President ever and he holds the record of the most document lies ever told by a world leader. Bush is more than justified criticizing Scoundrel Trump, the enemy of democracy.

Romney didn't believe in self deporration. It was just what he said at the time to win votes from people like me. Romney would never have started enforcing the border. I guess Brackite you knew that too so voting for Romney was a good decision for you.

The same man you called brain damaged and wanted delivered to the Hague for war crimes? I'll pay you take him now if you want. But he's already cozy with your guy Barack and Barack now protects him. They're the political class and they look out for each other. They don't give a damn about you or me. The rhetoric is just for show. Neither of those rwo believe it.
