A week ago, The Tribune’s Sunday opinion section was led by an op-ed contributed by the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate from Utah. It was sold, to The Tribune and to its readers, as an answer to a key question before the voters: “Where I stand on the Trump agenda.”
“One of the questions I am asked frequently on the campaign trail is whether as Senator I will support the Trump agenda. I’ve learned this means different things to different people. That difference, I believe, is a defining choice for Republicans.”
Basically, Romney took 700 words to say that he would support the president when he thought he was right, not support him when he thought he was wrong and call him out when he thought he had stepped over the line.
