The press would give Romney all kinds of power, let alone that the GOP will probably just barely be holding onto a majority. He’ll fit right in there with Graham and liberal wing of the GOPe.
Sigh, I just don’t buy it folks. There are 2 factual truths about this situation...
1) Hatch would easily win re-election if he runs.
2) Romney will easily win election if he runs.
Romney has already been the top of the ticket, he lost, but he got to as high as you can go short of winning the presidency as a Republican... He hasn’t held a public office 10 years ago. He last ran for anything 5 years ago and that was for President. Why would a guy who reached the highest you can get, want to return to being an elected official just to be a Junior senator and engage in gruntwork?
I think this is just fake news pushing this storyline hoping they can get Romney to win, because anyone with a few neurons knows, a Republican will win, and Romney is a known moderate... So better to push a known moderate than risk something more conservative... This “clearing the way for Romney” is a balloon from the left, hoping they can coax him into running to keep the seat more tame than it will likely wind up. I don’t think for one minute this is coming from Romney.
Its Psyops folks, people trying to create a reality, not report it....
Time will tell, but I really see no reason or desire out of Romney... if he wanted to return to elected office, he could have... he hasn’t, so I don’t see any of this coming from Romney.
Time will tell, but I see a lot of folks just gnashing their teeth over fake news at this point.
