Romney: My Op-Ed Was About My Relationship With Trump "And How We'll Work Together"

In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Senator-elect Mitt Romney (R-UT) expounds on his controversial op-ed that attacked President Trump.

"What I did in my op-ed was not just talk about the president and my relationship with him and how we’ll work together, but also I laid out my perspectives and priorities on a very broad basis on everything from trade to China to our allies around the world, immigration and so forth," Romney said.

Romney told Tapper while he is "not looking for the next election," he has not decided who will endorse in 2020.

"I haven’t decided who I’m going to endorse in 2020. I’m going to wait and see what the alternatives are," Romney said.

Can he be recalled?

The US Constitution is a really short document. You should read it sometime.

I live in Utah. I didn’t vote for him, he’s not in my district.

Mitt was just elected to the US Senate. His district is.....Utah.

romney seems to me as if he is positioning himself to be the political heir apparent if something unexpected happens to trump. if i were trump i would always keep romney and anyone associated with him at arms length.

RINO Romney will take the Flake and McCain positions in the senate.

He will vote with the democRATS and stab the president, the leader of his own party, in the back.

He made a vicious, unprovoked and unprecedented personal attack on Trump in 2016 during the campaign and he did it again today.

Attacking Trump head-on is a sure formula for defeat.

This will not go well for him.

He is also a bit of an arrogant egotist as well.

But the Senate is filled with arrogant egotists.

Mitt may be ex Gov of Mass, the 2012 Presidential nominee and a rock star in his own mind, but to Old Bull arrogant egotist Senators good old Mitt is just one thing and one thing only- the freshman Junior Senator from Utah, a fact Mitt will be reminded of on a daily basis

He has become a ba$tard by any other name. The man deserves a kick out the GOP door into the waiting arms of Chuck the Schmuck.

And PDJT has been nothing but magnanimous and kind to Romney even after his personal, below-the-belt, elitist prig attacks on PDJT during the 2016 presidential campaign.

The Mormon elitist prig doesn’t deserve spit, he is that low.

It’s times like this having a facebook account pays off. Twenty hours ago he posted this:

“Policies and appointments are only a part of a presidency. A president must also unite us, inspire us, and defend our vital institutions. My op-ed today underscores the essential role of presidential character. More of my thoughts:”

Currently has 29,000 comments on just that one post and based on the sampling I’m reading 99.9% think he is a jack@$$.

Don’t beat yourself up over 2012. What options did we have at that time? Thankfully the good Lord knew we would be better off with four more years of Obama so we could have a President Trump. With the election of POTUS they have proved that there really is only one Uni-Party of deep state characters with a very, very small exception of people. The dimocrap party and the repukelicans are simply like the Crips and Bloods and the people controlling the strings don’t really care who wins the political bloodsport called ‘elections’. Because in the end they are going to do THEIR bidding. Until POTUS that is.

a liar, a fraud, a carpetbagger, a backstabber,

29000+ replies is a pretty good indication Romney needs to rethink his attack plan.

Romney is perhaps the least desirable person on the whole political scene. Even Cortez has more appeal.
Willard brings nothing that Trump wants or needs.

Years ago I stumbled across a website that,well, it didn't hold back.It told the truth as they saw it and it was up to the reader to then verify what they just read. I continually verify stuff over and over just to keep it all straight in my head.
Today if you go to that site you will read the latest report about the real Benghazi and the real Las Vegas. Go back further and you will be amazed at what you read.
http://whitehatsreport.com/

One of the major players besides the Bushs and many others in the Illuminati/deep state/ secret govt. cabal was Mitt Romney. In one of the reports they listed the estimated wealth of all these criminals. Romney was in the billions. I forget how much but it was a lot. At the time I was so surprised I couldn't see straight. But later on it all started to make sense and all fits a well known pattern today.
One of the reasons all the Romney/Bush/McCain types keep going after Trump is because he is a straight shooter and he is going to destroy the cabal/deep state and they don't like it at all and are fighting back.
This is the real reason the House now led by the devils in the commie dem party are going after Trump so hard. It's because he started going after them since they were dirty! It's that simple. So bearing that in mind as I go along it all starts to make more and more sense.

I voted for Romney in 2012 and he lost.

I got over it.

I wish he would.

"So now he's trying to walk it back? LMAO! 😆" Romney is socially inept. Dweebish. A bumbler.
