Why Mitt Romney doesn’t need to toe the Republican line on impeachment

Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah is a thorn in President Donald Trump’s side. He has emerged as arguably Trump’s strongest Senate Republican critic when it comes to the Ukraine saga and impeachment inquiry. Trump’s so upset that he called for Romney’s own impeachment in a tweet on Saturday.

For most Republicans, tweets such as these could send them into panic. Romney, though, appeared to laugh it off with a picture of himself and his family at a pumpkin patch.

Romney’s able to do so because he has something few other Republican senators have: no upcoming election (he’s not up for re-election until 2024) and a home state Republican electorate that likes him more than the President. CONT.
