Sen. Romney’s speech was refreshing to hear

It was very refreshing to listen to Sen. Mitt Romney's, R-Utah, speech and his vote to convict President Donald Trump of abuse of power. Also, it was rewarding to know that at least one Republican senator had the courage to stand up to Trump. Romney has a conscience: the knowledge or feeling of right and wrong with the compulsion to do right for the people and not just for himself. Trump does not have a conscience.
It is terrible the vicious vocabulary that comes from Trump on national TV constantly condemning his opponents. I have never heard such vulgar language displayed on TV by any previous president of the USA- Republican or Democrat. What has Trump done to unite America? He has divided the country more each year that he remains in office. We have a criminal running the White House! He has his own swamp in important positions and 99 percent of the Republicans in Congress are afraid of him. Isn't this a dictatorship already? Is this what you want for America?
This is very serious and our democracy is at stake! We need civility back into the White House!
Solution: You will have a choice at the ballot box on Nov. 3
