That article was actually worth the full read. Your excerpt didn’t include the description of what Romney’s opposition of Trump has cost him, but the article discusses it.
I have no idea what Romney think he’s accomplishing but he would have a hard time getting elected to enough term in the Senate, let alone ever becoming president.
As someone else already suggested on this thread, Trump is probably costing Romney money. No other reason makes sense, not to me anyway.
He’s not up until 2024, anyhow. So unless the Derp State scum drops dead, he’s going to continue this $hit for the duration of President Trump’s two terms. He’ll have no reason to serve after January 2025.
As for what he’s accomplishing, it’s simple: sabotage. He sabotaged the MA GOP and buried it as Governor. He sabotaged Sarah Palin in 2006 to help assure a Zero first term (as did McQueeg). He ran as a ringer to sabotage any hopes of a Conservative nominee in 2012 to hand Zero a second term. He recruited and ran Egg McMuffin to take votes away from Trump in 2016 to try to hand the election to Hillary. He is similarly working to sabotage Trump for 2020. He’s a left-wing Derp State operative.
I think think this article is demeaning to Romney, and intentionally so. For some reason they wanted to paint him as a weakling. They also chose a very unflattering picture of him.
NBC is definitely not giving him the McCain treatment.
You are right. Good article worth the read. There are still a few journalists out there
“Trump is probably costing Romney money.”
That’s the case with almost all the Never Trumpers. Look at the unholy alliance the McConnell-Chao duo has with China. The rest of them most likely are in deep with various lobbyists.
But for Mitt (”Snit”, as someone said), it’s jealousy. Stephanie Grisham said that on a FNC interview last week. She worked on his campaign when he ran against Obama, and knows how he is.
Trump is probably costing Romney money. No other reason makes sense, not to me anyway.

Yes, money and power is the motivator. If it isn’t Burisma, it’s something else, such as donor money in the piggy bank from Golden Sacks, the Koch Brother, and Warren All-You-Can-Swindle Buffet.
