In recent days, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) has been fielding calls from GOP donors itching for him to primary President Trump in 2020, a person close to Romney told Vanity Fair.
"There is a half-billion dollars on the sidelines from guys who are fed up with Trump," one donor told Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman. Romney has been one of the few Republican voices to speak out against Trump's attempts to get foreign leaders to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, tweeting on Friday that his "brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine ... is wrong and appalling." This earned Romney a rebuke from Trump, who tweeted the next day that he is "a pompous 'ass'" who "never knew how to win."

“One donor told Vanity Fair”
LOL!
This is fake news to the max all run by the DNC.
The same fake news that told us Jeb was the only one who could beat Hillary.
If Mittens was in the General, its unlikely he would win UT.

And Romney won’t say what he would do, he’d just be stumping on how bad Trump is.

Deep State Unnamed Sources and Multiple whistle blowers are such busy he/she/its.
The unnamed He/she/its and unnamed Multiple whistle blowers work 24/7 for all the liberal tv stations and major fish wraps lying about our President and having those lies pose as news!
Of course this occurs/happens only in the drugged out and AIDS/STD infected gay minds of the so called reporters and their editors writing/editing the newest serious anti Trump fake news from Multiple unidentified whistle blowers and unidentified sources.

If Romney did primary Trump, how would anyone know? It would just be him tapping on some microphone.

I'm not so sure it would create a schism at all. Just reading the comments on Mitt's facebook page shows his own constituents are mostly fed up with him.
He'd have better luck running in the Democrat Primary. I have lot of Mormon friends. 80% of him view him as an arse and a major disappointment.

"There is a half-billion dollars on the sidelines from guys who are fed up with Trump,"That would create a schism in the GOP and destroy the party as we know it. Maybe Mittens doesnt really care about that.
There is NO $500,000,000.00 sitting on any sidelines {where ever the hell that is} and mittens couldn't draw flies.
Mittens is an annoyance from Utah, and the Mormons stick together, all 5.5 million of them, but they really like Trump, so it will be interesting to watch this play out.

Let me guess, I wonder if these same people back in about this time in 1983 were wanting Jerry Ford or even Bob Dole to primary Reagan.

Then the GOP will be finished.
Romney is emulating his old man who teamed up with the Rockefeller wing to undermine Goldwater. He thinks he’s going to do it again.

"...a person close to Romney told Vanity Fair." Forget your trial balloon, Mitt. You cannot win, people like me will sit home with conviction rather than vote for a pretend nice guy, backtabbing, lying snake like you. You are unworthy of the Presidency and you have some stones to act like a scumbag like you are superior to Trump in any way, political or moral.

People already think of Romney as a sleazy turncoat. Why not add money-grubbing hog to the list? It’s not like he has supporters to lose!

LOL. The GOP was for the “Big Tent” until it elected Trump on them.
Trump is bringing in more minorities to the GOP side than ever before and they are still trying to destroy him.

Trumps at 90% approval rating within the GOP. Nobody's seriously considering throwing money on a Mitt Romney vanity project.
The entire article is a lump of horsesht, fake from word one.

And Democrats still hate him as much as they did back in 2012.
He knows he’s got no shot.
