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."

Hey - that’s still better than serving him up for dinner!
Spitt Romney is a piece of work.
What part of NO don’t they understand?
What a miserable selection ... Cornyn, Thune, Romney. Romney would probably be the worst, setting himself up like a super-McCain to be a poisonous thorn in the President’s side.
Who tells this clown that there’s a great reservoir of “Romney Enthusiasm” out there waiting to be tapped?
Is he trying to fulfil the “White Horse Prophecy” I find that too ridiculous to take seriously. (Maybe he is!)If you actually read what Joseph Smith actually said (If reported accurately!) and consider the context of the times, he’s clearly talking about the looming crisis of national disunion.
He’d be better off standing on a street corner in Mehico selling “Bitch Mittens”
The RINOs, GOP-e, Deep State have played this game before. How do you think the leadership is what it is now?
Thune turned out to big a big RINO disappointment. No more RINOs.
This is not a great idea. I sincerely hope Mitt doesn’t try to take the party back in the wrong direction.
Myth wouldn't even be qualified to lead the Senate Mormon Caucus.
We think McConnell is a spectacular milquetoast panty-waist. Mitt would be worse. (Of course, his panties will be magical.)
The guy is a Grade A dirtbag with all the appeal of soggy cornflakes. We may not be able to keep him out of the Senate but I’m sure going to donate to any other Republican candidates.
Myth Romney has bigger plans, I’ll bet it includes Jeb and a motel room with ladies underwear.
Will Egg McMuffin be the new Speaker of the House?
The designated loser of the 2012 presidential election needs to stay home and write whiny books.
Bill Frist (R-TN) became majority leader during his second term at about the 8 year point and served for 4 years.
This was after the buffoonish, Trent Lott, stumbled over his tongue in his effervescent praise of Strom Thurmond and decided to leave for the money on K-Street.
Seamus was a good dog.
Where would the “extra clout” come from for a Senator from Utah????
