Romney fosters 2024 speculation with criticism of Trump during impeachment
The Washington Examiner ^ | 01-31-2020 | David M. Drucker

Mitt Romney is stoking suspicions that he is eyeing a third White House bid in 2024 after the Utah Republican broke with his party and insisted on witnesses at President Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate.

A second Republican strategist neither affiliated with nor opposed to Trump agreed that Romney’s maneuvering during the four-month impeachment process was calculated. This veteran operative predicted the senator would be active after the November elections, trying to restore the internationalist, “Chamber of Commerce” Republicanism that dominated the GOP before the elevation of Trump, a populist and a nationalist.

“He is cynically betting on an electoral disaster in 2020,” this Republican said, requesting anonymity in order to speak candidly and preserve relationships with key establishment figures. “I think he believes he will be the only guy who will look like he was in the right on the road to hell.”

Too late Mitt. You shot your wad.

Conservative voters know you are as phony as a $3 bill.

He certainly could get the Rat Party nomination...or run 3rd Party.

Give it up, jackass. It won’t be as the Republican nominee. You’ll get less than Jeb.

Romney is such a disappointment I can’t even begin to express it. Let’s hope he can be recalled per the newly proposed measure in Utah.

He won’t advance beyond the primary. If, by some chance, he does advance beyond the primary, he will lose worse than he lost in 2012. You’re done, *itt. You’re not good enough, you’re not smart enough, and doggone it, people hate you.

He couldn’t beat Sanders. I voted for that phony once, but I never would again.

Regrettably, if enacted, the recall law will be declared unconstitutional.

Federal officeholders -- senators and congressmen -- cannot be recalled. This issue has been litigated both in federal court (Frank Church, Idaho, 1967) and state court (Robert Menendez, New Jersey 2013).

Although Justice Clarence Thomas believes that states should have the right of recall under the 10th Amendment, getting four other justices to agree with him will be a high hill to climb, especially considering the case law already on the books.

I will vote for AOC in 2024 before I vote for Mitt Romney.

Mitt needs to realize that the days of the mealy mouthed pussy boys running the GOP are over.
