It took the entire GOP more than 24 hours to so much as sneeze in the direction of Trump's "go back....where you came from" tweet and they were so tepid they could have been confused for a "happy holidays tweet". Marco Rubio basically said nothing, a couple of swing district congressmen peed in the direction of the fire and Tim Scott reminded us that he is black. Of course we all know that they are all frightened to death of Trump and can't dare think of crossing him but you figure if there is one man who'd have some balls it's a man who has spent his life on the right side of these kinds of moral issues. Mitt Romney was not my choice for president but I never thought he would have made a bad one. He seems smart, is certainly eloquent and had that rare combination of business and governing experience but most of all, he felt like a person whose moral compass was certainly pointing to true north
He's about as accomplished an American politician as there has been but he still cowers in the shadow of Trump. Whether it's him groveling for the Secretary of State job or today when he tried to condemn Trump for a basically indefensible tweet by saying it went "over the line"
Romney always just looks like he is about to grab his sack but instead tugs on Trump's.
