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.

Oh, lets not start swooning and pearl clutching over a spineless hack like Mitt.
President Trump can make mincemeat out of him in under three tweets.
Really doesn’t matter what Trump thinks.
Romney will quit and lose the election.
He loses, it’s what he does.
How convenient that you have forgotten how Romney trashed the President during the campaign!
What Romney needs to acknowledge is that Trump is the head of the GOP and sets the agenda. Trump does not need Romney being another McCain.
Romney will glide to victory in Utah on gossamer wings.
Then hell irritate the President who will run him through the shredder.
How about Romney should rally behind Trump. Two way street and all that.
I don’t know Utah but surely there are other talented and accomplished people in that state who could run and readily win that seat for the Republicans. Mitt, you had your time. Let someone else rise.
After Romney’s unfair, vitriolic, hyperbolic, abusive, over-the-top attack, McConnel should be glad the president is not actively opposing Romney. If Romney had retracted atleast some of what he said (he hasn’t), a reconciliation might be possible.
It’s high time for McConnell to ride off into the sunset never to be heard from again.
Perhaps Romney should get behind Trump’s presidency then.
I bet the primary poll support for Romney is sagging. People want someone else.
This actually made me angry enough to swear at the computer. Sorry, computer.

Computer abuse...it’s a real thing! LOL! And becoming so much more prevalent in these times. ;)
Fortunately, I’m sure your computer forgives you. :)
But watch out for when we develop robots with artificial intelligence. Not so sure they would be so loving .... ;)
No. President Trump owes this GOPe wuss NOTHING.
Urp.
The GOP'ers would rather lose than support #MAGA.
Of course Romney always had Donald Trump’s back.......sarc
Romney and McConnell are both trash and need to be tossed aside. Term limits NOW.
In Utah? I doubt it.
Why does this county elect candidates with BIG MONEY instead of those who can actually do the job they get elected to do? Here’s another case. Romney must need some additional funds so he decides it’s his turn are the trough.
We need the Senate seat and I believe Romney can hold it.
Perfect candidate?? No ..but none are.
