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."

Don’t forget Mike Lee successfully primaried Utah Senator Bob Bennett. Bob had already served 3 terms at the time Lee knocked him out. Romney may not even make it into the Senate.
No Mittens.
Bishop Romney will have no problem getting elected in Utah.
Mitt gave himself away as to his true persona is when he “joined” the GOP elite to dump Trump. He worries me, I don’t think he is genuine, he put his foot into the swamp, if it hasn’t been there the whole time....
Are there no others, younger and more conservative to run?
Or is Utah politics under total control of the Mormon Church?............
KcuF that A-hole.
And the people of Utah who will put this self-serving, resume padding and legacy seeking , self aggrandizing moron in office.
He isn’t out to help anyone but, himself...
Utah please kill this baby in the crib.
62% of Utah residents are Mormon.
62% of Utah residents are Mormon.
The Deep State is fronting their Deep State Puppet!
I bet they don’t all vote the same, just as Catholics and Baptists don’t all vote the same.................
Go away, Mitt!
Romney on Trump, March 2016:
” If Donald Trump’s plans were ever implemented, the country would sink into prolonged recession. A few examples. His proposed 35 percent tariff-like penalties would instigate a trade war and that would raise prices for consumers, kill our export jobs and lead entrepreneurs and businesses of all stripes to flee America.
His tax plan in combination with his refusal to reform entitlements and honestly address spending would balloon the deficit and the national debt. So even though Donald Trump has offered very few specific economic plans, what little he has said is enough to know that he would be very bad for American workers and for American families.
Look, his bankruptcies have crushed small businesses and the men and women who work for them. He inherited his business, he didn’t create it. And whatever happened to Trump Airlines? How about Trump University? And then there’s Trump Magazine and Trump Vodka and Trump Steaks and Trump Mortgage. A business genius he is not.”
And ends with this peach:
“Frankly, the only serious policy proposals that deal with a broad range of national challenges we confront today come from Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich. One of these men should be our nominee.”
exactly. loser Romney couldn’t even win in WI with Ryan on the ticket who was at the time in his state popular.
Trump won it though. Romney is a loser who can only win in a Morman state like UT.
I still hope someone comes along and beats him.
""Mitt is a failed candidate," "He failed. He failed horribly. He failed badly. That was a race, I have to say, folks, that should have been won. That was a race that absolutely should have been won. And I don't know what happened to him. He disappeared. He disappeared. And I wasn't happy about it, I'll be honest. Because I'm not a fan of Barack Obama. And that was a race that I backed Mitt Romney. I backed him. You can see how loyal he is.""
Cold day in hell....
The GOPe better wake up!
Romney SUCKS!
Kick him out of the Party.
The end of the GOP.
