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. Romney’s potent bid was an illustration of the Republican Party’s improving fortunes entering a challenging midterm campaign.
“I can’t imagine that he’s 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 don’t 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: ‘You’ll 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.”

It’s UT, and Mittens does not need Trump’s endorsement in the least.
——My comments are based on the fact Romney inexplicably stopped running against Obama a month before -—
I believe you are referring to McCain....
I don’t recall mittens giving up....
Like the Utahns and their Romney, people in KY still believe uin the “Key Player” Mitch!
McConnell message to American conservatives:
“Heh, heh, if you don’t like my party, heh, I can always let you have the democrats back in power. Either way, you lose, heh, heh. You people have no power and never will the way we got it rigged here. Oh, you got your Trump over there. Heh, heh, that’s Ok, in time we’ll take him down.”
Support John Dougall for US Senate in Utah and send that carpet bagger Romney packing.
Loser romney doesn’t even live in UT. Many here in UT think he is the winner of the Biggest Loser award.
No RINOmney.
He trashed Trump.
Traitor. RINO. Cult leader.
Not worth a tweet of endorsement.
Bad idea.
McConnell raises his hand and shouts “I’m a tool of the Deep State” again.
McConnell is a Bush League Republican as is Romney.
Their goal is amnesty for 30 million new Democrats.
Mitt needs to make friends with Trump, not the other way around. By the grace of God, Donald Trump is POTUS and Mitt never has been.
KY could have had Matt Bevin as their Senator.
After they failed to Cantorize Yertle in the primary Alison Grimes was the lesser evil.
He already has.
(With a knife.)
DC swamp creature supporting DC swamp creature. The Deep State at work promoting its OWN interests and lobby money.
A liberal, arrogant, corrupt, know-it-all that despises the American people and only has their own interest in mind.
For once, McConnell is right.
Screw Romney....
.... Enough of the carpetbagger.
A RINO’s take on what the outsider President should do for another RINO.
Apparently, Pres Trump and a handful of Senators and Congressmen are the only Republicans left inside the Beltway that support the Republic. The rest think we live in a democracy.
These politicians are truly unbelievable!!!!!! The good people of Utah open their eyes up and see that Mittens will a disaster!!!!
