Because nothing is more appealing to Republican voters than a guy who is happy to have Trump’s support in the campaign, then turns on Trump after the election and writes a nasty piece about him for the Washington Post. https://t.co/pFt8rv29m3

Nothing says character like welcoming Trump’s help during your Senate race and then dumping on him once you’ve won.
Via Daily Caller:
President Donald Trump responded to Utah Senator-elect Mitt Romney’s latest criticism of him Wednesday morning and implored him to be a team player.
Romney will be sworn in as the next senator from Utah Thursday and is beginning his tenure in Washington with harsh criticism of Trump. “On balance, his conduct over the past two years, particularly his actions this month, is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office,” Romney declared in a Washington Post op-ed.
“With the nation so divided, resentful and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable,” Romney continued. “And it is in this province where the incumbent’s shortfall has been most glaring.”
