Should Mitt Romney run for the U.S. Senate? By all means. Indeed, Sen. Orrin Hatch should step aside. The Old Souls in the House and Senate will be taking a beating this coming year and Judge Roy Moore, newly nominated gunslinger from Alabama, will lead the charge. Possibly on horseback.
For with the rise of Donald Trump to the Oval Office, America has entered a new age of Andrew Jackson. Trump has even placed a portrait of Jackson in the Oval Office to boldly indicate the dramatic shift in paradigm. But it was a long time in coming.
I’d written back in 2011 that the rise of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to national politics was the first suggestion that we were entering a new Jacksonian period. It was Jackson, I claimed, who “put the fire in the belly of the heartland; a fire felt in the red states today and a fire that potentially will never go out.”
The rise of the new Jacksonian rebels intent on clearing “the swamp” brings perhaps a much needed transition in our ongoing American experience; a changing of the guard and a new approach to governance, moving toward decentralization. Maybe it is time.
But there are increasing dangers and instabilities as well and Romney could bring moderation and a bridge between rising political generations and those receding. As governor of Massachusetts, he was first to use the phrase “one size does not fit all” which has become the mantra for Jeffersonian approaches to states rights, decentralization, sound money and constitutional government, all themes favored in the first days of the rebellious Tea Party.
And anyway, Romney is not just considering running for Senate in 2018. He must be considering running for president in 2020. For Romney, more than any other, is the anti-Trump....

But it wouldn't be a white horse, would it Mr. Quigley?
Mitt should run alright. Just not for public office.
He could not even beat Obama. Or McCain.
That’s nice.
Like McCain, Romney would be ruthless in the primary and take a dive in the general, just like he did the last time.
Whatever it takes to stop the citizens from reversing the 30 year bipartisan policy of demographic change.
It’s all about keeping their bipartisan policy of demographic change.
The illegal alien inundation was intentional and they do not intend to let us reverse it.
Mitt and Jimmuh Cawtur for 2020! That’s a ticket I could go all in for...
</sarc >
...or not!
Mittens will be toast, he couldn’t draw more than 150 attendees at a late October 2016 rally with John McCain. The rally was held in heavily Mormon Mesa AZ, it was held at dinner time and provided free food and drink. 150 attendees, it was a humiliating embarassing event.
This has to be satire.
These people must not have access to the internet if they think that a good idea.
“Willard is far too much of a gentleman to actually try to win.”
only against Democrats. He’s already established he’ll attack a fellow Republican far more viciously than any Democrat would ...
Romney must run in 2020?
Bernie Quigley has to be sh!tting us..
hahahahaha.
Run, Mittens, run! It will be good for the economy for rightwing consultants to take more of your money, and it will be the voters’ pleasure to primary you!
As a Dem, I expect?
The move to “Moderation” is what doomed California.
Once the GOP-lite becomes identical to RAT, what is the point.
The GOP (whoever) will never spend like RATS so they win here too.
Add a couple of decades of “Moderation” and you have a Red State flipped to hard core Blue.
Same happened in Oregon, now actively working in Nevada and trying hard to get a foothold in AZ.
Easy pattern to see if you are NOT Karl Rove.
I didn’t vote for that slimebag in 2012 and I won’t vote for him in 2020 or any other year.
Been there done that. He lost. Why put campaign money in the pocket of a loser?
