Unnamed Republican consultants...is there anything they don't know?
Posted on 01/23/2018 2:17:16 PM PST by cotton1706
One Republican consultant connected to the White House told Business Insider he thinks Romney's move after being elected is pretty clear: succeed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as the GOP leader after 2020.
"If anything, it's Romney setting himself up to replace Mitch McConnell," the consultant said.
Romney would enter the body with much more clout than his Republican colleagues, including Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota, both possible contenders for the leadership position. And, he added, McConnell, who has the lowest approval rating in the Senate, may decide not to put himself through what would likely be a tough Republican primary.
Romney, he said, could "unite the caucus."

April fools!
Whew! I thought he was going to run for president again.
This is the last chance that the Deep State has to ram thru their Global Gov plans.
We know that Romney, Axelrod, Turtle and Ryan all met together in Jackson Hole back in 2014 to discuss this.
I remember as my first thought was “What is Axelrod doing there?”
Now we know.
Unnamed Republican consultants...is there anything they don't know?
The senate isn’t dysfunctional enough already?
Please dear lord
How old is Bishop Romney? Will he ever ever just quit
We dont want anymore designated losers
Furthermore
Nobody likes this man !!
Mitt, you’ve had your chance and you blew it. There’s no way you could withstand and conquer what Trump has overcome.
Well sure if he's a Democrat and the RATS take back the Senate. Romney enjoys backslapping with them.
Seriously?!
Mitt Romney couldn't unite a Velcro strap!
Note the contradiction between the glaring headline and the opening sentence of this article. “REPUBLICANS,” yeah, like a whole army of Republicans. Alas, “one consultant” has shared his fantasy with the authors of the piece.
“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.
The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”

"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,”
[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."

"Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans,
has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced,
instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who
have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats
or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians
or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show.
In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters,
and 14 registered Democrats."

Romney Rewards one of the State's Leading Anti-Marriage Attorneys by Making him a Judge
Romney told the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2004, that the "real threat to the States is not the
constitutional amendment process, in which the states participate,
but activist judges who disregard the law and redefine marriage . . ."
Romney sounds tough but yet he had no qualms advancing the legal career of one
of the leading anti-marriage attorneys. He nominated Stephen Abany to a District Court.
Abany has been a key player in the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association which,
in its own words, is "dedicated to ensuring that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision
on marriage equality is upheld, and that any anti-gay amendment or legislation is defeated."

"Romney announces he won't fill judicial vacancies before term ends
Despite his rhetoric about judicial activism, Romney announced that
he won't fill all the remaining vacancies during his term - but instead
leave them for his liberal Democrat successor!
Governor Mitt Romney pledged yesterday not to make a flurry of lame-duck
judicial appointments in the final days of his administration . . . David Yas,
editor of Lawyers Weekly, said Romney is "bucking tradition" by resisting the urge to
fill all remaining judgeships. "It is a tradition for governors to use that power to appoint judges
aggressively in the waning moments of their administration," Yas said.
He added that Romney has been criticized for failing to make judicial appointments.
"The legal community has consistently criticized him for not filling open seats quickly enough
and being a little too painstaking in the process and being dismissive of the input of the
Judicial Nominating Commission," Yas said.

Is Romney planning to hire Jeb! as his Chief of Staff?
If Mittens becomes Majority Leader, the Uni-Party/NWO will be in full swing!
A 70 yr old carpetbagger from Mexico?
Romney wants to run the New World Order.
LOL!
LOL. And the 50+ GOP senators, some of whom have been there for decades and most of whom have colossal egos, are just going to bow down and accept Romney as their new leader.
“Yeah. A bigger epic fail.”
Beat me to it.
Repubs never learn, ‘twould appear.
Uhhh, No, No, No
And NO
What part of losing to The Worst Ever does Mitt not understand?
Would love to see Trump break him the way he broke Yeb, SpewMore, the Mailman, and everyone else.
