Robert Gehrke: How is it that the only Republican with a conscience and courage is Mitt Romney?

We’re missing something in our Congress today — maybe it’s conscience or maybe it’s just courage.

But how else is it, when President Donald Trump is blatantly abusing the power of his office for political gain, it’s Mitt Romney, of all people, who seems to be one of the few Republicans willing to actually say it is wrong?

This is the same Mitt Romney who has been constantly ridiculed throughout his political career for being weak and wavering.

I’ve frankly never been a fan of Mitt. But now we have a Congress where he is a voice in the wilderness, nearly the only Republican senator with the clarity or common sense or principles to say what should be evident to anyone but the most deluded partisan.
