Conservative group tags Romney as anti-Trump, pro-impeachment in ad
The Politico ^ | October 16, 2019 | Alex Isenstadt

The Club for Growth, which opposed Trump in the 2016 primary, is spending $40,000 to show the ad in Utah.

The Club for Growth, a conservative advocacy group, is going up with TV ads attacking Sen. Mitt Romney — a preemptive warning shot against fellow Republicans who are considering getting behind impeachment.

The 30-second commercial, which will begin running Thursday digitally and on Fox News stations in Utah, portrays Romney as a sunglasses-wearing spy and accuses him of being a “Democrat secret asset” who is “plotting to take down President Trump with impeachment.”

The move comes as the first-term Utah senator dials up his criticism of the president. Romney has refused to rule out supporting impeachment and called Trump’s request for China to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden “appalling.”

“Slick, slippery, stealthy: Mitt Romney had us fooled. Posing as Republican, he tried to infiltrate Trump’s administration as Secretary of State,” says the commercial, referring to the president’s past consideration of Romney to be his secretary of state.

Could this all be staged?

Could Romney be playing the “heel” as they call it in pro wrestling? You need drama and a nasty bad guy to “get butts in the seats”

Naah, he really is a jerk, pompous ass. It’s not an act

From the end of the article:

The 72-year-old Romney, however, has told friends he cares little about what the president has to say about him. Instead, Romney is moving forward with an aggressive plan to aid Republicans in 2020 Senate races.

And from the 10/11 Politico article this one links to:

So far this year, Romney has funneled cash to roughly a dozen county GOP organizations. But most of his donations in 2019 have been directed to his Senate colleagues. After taking office in January, he gave the maximum contribution of $5,600 to each Republican incumbent up for reelection in 2020 — an unusual, if not unprecedented, gesture for a freshman senator. This spring, he held a high-dollar fundraiser in Florida for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Over the summer, he was a special guest at an event for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

I got him as a Palm Springs art dealer, soaking the wealthy with fake art sales. Just sort of glad hand slimey.

True. In 2024, Romney’s re-election is in trouble if he doesn’t get on board and quit acting like a democrat.

Polutico thinks Romney may not be anti-Trump?

Freshman Senator, snarf!

That’s like a 7 times divorced woman wearing white at her next wedding.
