IMPEACHMENT/MITT ROMNEY/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Fresh off a series of scathing attacks from Donald Trump because of his vote to remove the president from office, Mitt Romney spent Tuesday [2-11-20] hunting for votes for the president’s agenda. Life outside the Senate might never be the same for the Utah Republican, who became the first senator to vote to remove from office a president of his own party and is sure to endure an unending stream of attacks from Trump and his allies. But inside the Senate, Romney is resuming life as usual. At the first closed-door party lunch since the impeachment trial, there wasn’t a single word uttered about Romney’s stunning decision to find Trump ‘guilty of an appalling abuse of the public trust.’”
