I think this is probably correct, but it's notable that Utah is one of the states where he could most afford to be anti-Trump. One of the House members there is relatively anti-Trump and won his primary and reelection easily. If he decides not to offer even a Flake-level opposition to Trump, it's because he doesn't want to.
On the other hand, if he gets a fit of conscience, it will be easy to indulge. But I suspect some of the Never Trump Republicans who assure us that Democrats were too hard on Romney and he really is a good man and it's so unfortunate he didn't win in 2012 because then there'd be no Trump, etc. etc. are about to find out how deluded they've been about him, because Romney won't do shit. |
I expect about Flake-level of opposition, unless he finds some specific advantage to doing more (or less).
Rmoney is not a white nationalist and is mostly not prone to advocating conspiracy theories. There are many, many more worse Republicans out there, and I'd rather have him in the Senate than a whole lot of other people. I just don't think anyone should be optimistic about him.
