I have a little bit of the inside story on this, so I'm going to explain exactly what is happening.
First, let me explain that unless you have specific training in the particular personality disorder I'm going to mention then when you read this you won't really comprehend what I'm talking about.
Second, Yes Romney is a True Believer. And he is a man of integrity. That doesn't mean I agree with him. He is brainwashed by having been raised in the Mormon Church and by the need to be obedient to the church. If only he was able to stop believing I think he could be a big influence for good.
Background info: While the 2016 campaign was going on there were certain people with psychological training who began to take a close look at Trump. Hereafter I will refer to Trump as "T". Romney at the time held a high position in the Republican Party. It was Romney they brought their concerns to. Do I need to rehash the numerous falsehoods told by T? Things such as claiming his political rivals in the primary campaign were incredibly evil such as being confederates of Lee Harvey Oswald etc. The accusations were outrageous and not normal.
Many Republicans for a long time have felt their representatives and candidates have let their opponents on the other side of the aisle get away with murder (literally). Regardless of what T said, people who felt invigorated by seeing a Republican candidate who would hit hard and not pull any punches flocked to T. They saw T as a Savior of sorts: Finally someone who is not a political insider who can come from the outside and clean up the swamp. Someone who doesn't owe anyone. And he's not running around pushing religion in order to get the nomination. T attracted lots of people who have been tired of being walked on and tired of watching their representatives in D.C. get trampled and never achieve their promises.
Here's 6 minutes of background on the personality disorder:
http://www.fisheadmovie.com/watch1This disorder is diagnosed by looking at lifetime behaviors and patterns. It takes a long, and extensive record to get this diagnosis. Included in the diagnosis are such behaviors as:
1) promiscuity
2) inability to be faithful to a spouse/significant other for long term
3) behaviors of a con artist
4) cheating others
5) financial irresponsibility or appropriating the resources of others for his own personal use.
6) extravagant lifestyle
7) bullying
8) hatred of others when does not get own way (sometimes this can be concealed for years until the time to strike is decided).
9) manipulation of others for ones own ends.
10) Charisma: the ability to put other people at ease. Friendliness. Charming. Humorous.
11) Fearless. Lack of anxiety.
12) Ability to read others and pick up on their vulnerabilities
13) quick with comeback comments
The many concerns were reported to Romney, and this is why Romney made the speech he did calling "T" a Con Artist.
After T won the election Romney second-guessed himself and when T asked him to interview to become Secretary of State, Romney being the kind of guy who is willing to forgive, believing people can change, and being pressured by other people to indeed join T's administration, did go and interview. However, the motivation of T was not what Romney hoped. T is a master at manipulating people and Romney is not. Romney got conned.
I very much believe Romney really is following his conscience.
Now, this does not mean the impeachment hearings have been right or wrong, nor does it mean there are not other politicians who are not Con Artists. Fact is the vast majority of members of Congress are likely people who have varying degrees of this personality disorder. One does not get elected to high office nowadays with the amount of money that it requires without being charming and capable of conning people. And being able to get lots of money out of people. In modern society where money talks and people fawn over those who are charming, a con artist nearly always wins.
