Just as the shampeachment backfired on the Coup Klutz Clan, so Romney’s stab-in-the-back will not end up the way he hoped.
Anyone who’s been to Utah and Nevada (count me as a frequent enthusiastic visitor) knows there are two different versions of conservatism and Donald Trump will always resonate more with plan A than plan B (plan A being Nevada for those really slow on the uptake).
In a state where casinos are verboten and even coffee shops are somewhat less than universal, I’m guessing that Trump can be easy to look down on there in Utah (life elevated etc).
But at end of the day, most other than Mittens will see that their values are better represented by Trump than anyone that the other party might raise up for their consideration.
I hope there isn’t another Egg McMuffin moment in our future. What’s the point of rolling the dice with communism by having a feel-good essentially meaningless vote drainer on the ballot?
Trump should go to SLC or maybe St George to have a faster exit, and give a friendly speech (”I don’t blame any of this on you”) and maybe show a flash of humility, then move on.
Mittens will end up looking like an idiot, trying to pass off his guilty conscience (re Burisma) as a high-minded moment of service to God. If it’s the same God (and I am one who thinks it is) then he should know better than to pass off his self-serving and odious conduct in that way.
We shall see where things stand in 2021 and beyond. Or perhaps the Senator will reconsider and do a bit of humble retraction himself. It would look better on him than a second-hand clown suit that Nancy gave him.
