Oh please, Romney was almost drooling when he said "we [the guilty votes] might be in the minority here in the Senate, but the American people will get to decide in November".
He has obviously been against Trump since the very beginning and is obviously rooting for him to fail.
You guys really shouldnt glorify Romney for this vote as if he was a paragon of integrity, principle and virtue. He hates Trump with every fiber of his body, and this was his big opportunity to stick it to him, plain and simple.
Well he's the only one who did it and he's the first person in US history to vote to convict the leader of his own party so....I'd say that's pretty impressive.

Fiscal conservatism has always strived to empower individuals rather than the collective.
What gives more responsibility, saying "you know best on how to use your money" or "government knows best and will take more of your money" ?
Is it? I thought fiscal conservatism was about balancing budgets, reducing debt, etc. Achieving one of the goals (lowering taxes) is great, but not if you're going to make the other things you stand for WORSE.
