Once again, President Donald Trump skates away from accountability in his latest political gaffe concerning Ukraine. My sincere admiration goes out to Sen. Mitt Romney, the one Republican who had the common sense and guts to say that he thought the president was guilty of tarnishing his office.
Trump is proud of his self-proclaimed “perfect” phone call, but if I had to pick a perfect moment in this entire debacle, it would be the moment Romney spoke the truth and voted against the president, and by doing so invited the wrath of Trump and his supporters.
To be the voice of common sense and reason is a position that is not in favor with the Republican Party at the present time. Way to go, Mitt Romney. It’s nice to know that someone can recognize when our president has overreached his authority.

Note from KBJ: Accountable for what, John? President Trump did nothing wrong, much less impeachable.
