I spoke to @chucktodd today Mitt Romney, impeachment, and BYU football (twist: I wasn't the one to bring up that last one). Give it a listen: https://t.co/SREPC1ESpN — PolitiTweet.org

@SarahLongwell25 (FWIW I still think the smart money is on most Senate Republicans sticking with Trump. We'll see how things develop, but at this point the basic political dynamics underlying their loyalty haven't changed.) — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

If there's any chance for a significant group of Senate Republicans to break with Trump on impeachment, someone will have to "go first,"@SarahLongwell25 argues. She thinks it should be Mitt Romney. https://t.co/AlAPQuLKly https://t.co/ha8q5fvwFz — PolitiTweet.org

@dannybelkin i can't tell if you're really this obtuse or if you're just acting like you are, but either way this exchange was a waste of time! — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

@dannybelkin Right, this story is about whether they should focus impeachment on just Ukraine or other impeachable offenses as well. Not sure where the confusion is... — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

@dannybelkin they can't focus the impeachment exclusively on Ukraine and focus the impeachment on other things besides Ukraine — PolitiTweet.org

“If Democrats execute this poorly, the worst-case scenario could happen. The worst-case scenario is Trump gets reelected, we lose the House, and there’s no check on this guy.” https://t.co/eMtAyxwXJc — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

A key rift emerging among House Democrats: Impeach Trump over Ukraine, or make a broader case about abuses of power? https://t.co/eMtAyxwXJc — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

Romney is 72, not worried about reelection, and seems to sense—in a way that eludes many of his colleagues—that he’ll be remembered for what he does right now. “I do think people will view this as an inflection point in American history," he tells me. https://t.co/kcfIopokWh — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

Romney on why more Republicans haven't spoken up about Trump/Ukraine: “I think it’s very natural for people to look at circumstances and see them in the light that’s most amenable to their maintaining power." https://t.co/kcfIopokWh — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

Romney has an extremely long list of issues he wants to address in the Senate: immigration, climate change, deficit, compensation for college athletes, vaping, and on and on. When we first talked in June, he was oddly optimistic he could make progress: https://t.co/kcfIopokWh https://t.co/HzgqHNX5wu — PolitiTweet.org

Romney—who has called Trump's soliciting dirt on political rivals from Ukraine/China "appalling"—tells me he's taking the impeachment process seriously, and could vote to convict after seeing all the evidence at the Senate trial: https://t.co/kcfIopokWh — PolitiTweet.org
