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.”

RINO supporting another RINO.

Trump Should Get Behind Romney’s Candidacy, McConnell Says
**************************************
TRUMP.45 should get behind America’s kids in schools by issuing the call for volunteers (Guys & Gals w/Guns!) to provide an armed presence with the schools to protec America’s kids!!!!!!!!!!
***

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There are almost daily articles where armed citizens are preventing robberies, shootings, etc. across America’s streets, businesses, etc.
Sound the call, Mr. President, then get outta the way, they will come!
GunnyG@PlanetWTF!

Is there no other candidate in Utah who could challenge him?
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem so.
It’s Milt and a Dem running. I know, that’s redundant.
We need a good conservative to step up to the plate, in UT.
Folks have posted, on other threads about Milt, that he has an 80% fave rating, in UT.
Blecccchhhh.
In a state that’s something like 60% Mormon...
Mitten’s is the Hillary of UT.
Nothing but a carpetbagger (and UT, like NY, doesn’t care) using this as his stepping stone to run for Prez (Again. Spit).
Why?
Because Romney was SO supportive of Trump. /sar
I wouldn’t vote Romney for dog catcher. He is the kind we want out of politics.
Mitch, I wouldn’t trust Mitch as far as I could throw him. Neither should President Trump...
“Trump Should Get Behind Romney’s Candidacy, McConnell Says”
WHY??? Mittens would try to obstruct President Trump at every turn. Another RAT in RINO clothing.
McConnell wants Romney because he secretly does not like President Trump.
He would love another McCain to join the Senate.
Funny thing is, when he stands beside Trump when Trump is talking, he looks up at him like he really admires him, but Trump is too strong and McConnell is a little afraid of strong people.
I’m just about to hurl my Sunday morning cinnamon roll. Romney will be the new McCain.
Trump remembers his friends and his enemies.
Romney smeared Trump a couple of years ago and did everything he could to call him a phony and a fraud without actually saying those words.
He also said the republican nominee should either Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, or John Kasich.
My favorite part is where Romney belittled Trump Steaks. Who could not be a fan of red meat?
Turtle man is an A$$hole.
Ridiculous. Get a grip. Bannon didn't take the Deplorables with him. We're still here, standing with the President. Thus, nationalism didn't die.
And, by the way, Bannon didn't "leave the stage"—he got the hook, due to being a bad actor...
I wonder what Bannon is doing. I frankly think he’s on Trumps payroll behind the scene. Just a hunch....
McConnell said Romney and Respect in the same breath?
AMAZING, McConnell is worthless as a Senate leader..hope he is replaced.
