Utah Sen. Mitt Romney has had it in for President Donald Trump for back during the 2015 campaign and it appears he still does.

There was a momentary truce between the two men when the president considered Romney as a Secretary of State candidate.

But the senators, and former Republican presidential candidate, is back at his war with the president and has indicated he is prepared to side with the Democrats.

The Democrats need four Republicans to agree with them to bring witnesses and more documents into the impeachment trial.

The main purpose of that is not to convince the Senate to convict the president, there is virtually no chance that is going to happen.

The purpose is to prolong the trial as long as possible in order to damage President Trump for the 2020 presidential election.

“I think it’s very likely I’ll be in favor of witnesses, but I haven’t made a decision finally yet and I won’t until the testimony is completed,” he said.

Of course he is. He would love nothing more than to embarrass the president and damage his chances to be elected again in 2020.

The senator does not appear to have gotten over the fact that he was defeated in his bid to be president and President Trump, a rookie at politics, won.

It was earlier in January when he said “I would like to be able to hear from John Bolton. What the process is to make that happen, I don’t have an answer for you.”

There are not many senators who are likely to vote in favor of having witnesses at the impeachment trial and Sen. Romney’s vote is important.

The others are Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Pat Toomey, Lamar Alexander and some others who are in tough states.

“Obviously I would not be advocating for the language to be included in the governing resolution if I did not anticipate at the end of hearing the case presented, and the q-and-a, that there might be a need for more information,” Collins said.

“I’ve been working to make sure that we will have a process so that we can take a vote on whether or not we need additional information, and yes that would include witnesses,” Murkowski commented.

“What I think is important is we have a vote on whether we need additional documents and witnesses. And that would only be appropriate after we’ve heard the case and asked our questions,” Alexander said.

Each of these votes is important and each should be cast this week.
