WASHINGTON Senator Mitch McConnell said in an interview on Friday afternoon that President Trump should rally behind the Senate candidacy of Mitt Romney despite his blistering criticism in 2016, arguing that Mr. Romneys potent bid was an illustration of the Republican Partys improving fortunes entering a challenging midterm campaign.
I cant imagine that hes not, Mr. McConnell said when asked whether Mr. Trump was comfortable with Mr. Romney, who on Friday made official his long-expected candidacy for a Senate seat from Utah. We dont want to lose the seat, and this looks like a pretty formidable candidate.
Mr. McConnell, the majority leader, said that Mr. Romney would enter the Senate with a stature similar to what Hillary Clinton brought as a junior senator. The best way to think about that, and I told him this a couple of months ago, I said: Youll be a freshman like Hillary Clinton was, Mr. McConnell recalled. He will come in here with a level of national identity and respect that will make him effective from Day 1.

Millstones come in many shapes and sizes.. Mitch McMugwump is an example of a jughead millstone.
Bishop Romney is a given for the Senate seat from Utah. Discussing "Romney needs to be defeated" wastes valuable neurotransmitters which you may run short of some day.
Don't waste any more time on this election.
Another Juan McAmnesty in the making...
Oh you mean like the way you and Romney got behind Donald Trump’s candidacy, Mitch?
This is a direct quote from Willard Mitt Romney, from a speech he gave on March 2, 2016:
"Heres what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud".
You can look it up yourself right here.
Mitch, I’d like to get behind Mitt, to kick him in the azz.
5.56mm
Just what we need....another RAT in the swamp.
Thank you. I scanned it too fast. Good catch.
Romney will become Utah's problem. They won't vote him in or out on merit, but on identity politics. Hey, it is Utah, go figure.
I agree that Romney will have to decide early if he will support Trump or not. Become a Never-Trumper at your own risk.
No chance. Elect a republican instead of Mitt.
Don’t assume that I don’t want an R in that Senate seat. Romney didn’t support the President so he must make some concessions before President Trump stands with him.
Except everything he said about Trump didn’t come to fruition. And the 3 candidates he DID support fell by the wayside.
Romney will support Trump in the end. Nuff said.
McConnell has dementia or he is just plain STUPID. Willard is a NeverTrumper Rino, no difference between him, Juan McCain, Linda Graham, or Saint Jeffy Flake. If elected, Willard will spend 90 percent of his time sanctimoniously stabbing President Trump in the back.
Does Mitch give Mitt the reach around when he gets behind him?
Romney will support Trump in the end. Nuff said.
