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."

That would create a schism in the GOP and destroy the party as we know it. Maybe Mittens doesn’t really care about that.
Bring it Mittens.
The Donald will put you in your place and we his supporters will cheer him on.
You couldn’t handle Candy Crowley , so what makes you think you can handle The Donald, our President.
It is hard to believe that any sentient human being wants to throw millions down a shithole, but it looks like such people do exist.
The Trump base will tell Mittens to go to hell. He’s not wanted except for the Swamp Elites.
He wouldn’t get 10% of the vote, the only way he could get more is with massive democrat crossover support, but that won’t happen because they have their own contentious primary to vote in.
This Week is a thin Leftist rag published by the NY Times to give their kids a job. Pay no attention to this Fake News.
The deep state must be horrified of Trump. Imagine the possibilities of a 2020 Trump win along with wins in the House and Senate. The left and many RINOs have exposed themselves. The targets are rich and the opportunity wide.
Those must be Dem donors who just want to weaken Trump, so then the Dem nominee can defeat him.
Romney convinced me to drop out of the GOP in 2016. I’m sure his Wormtongue can convince many more.
I don’t believe it... Pure propaganda. These donors are capitalists and want to make money. Business under Romney would not be as good at all and they know this.
Romney would just embarrass himself again.
Good luck with that. Go, Trump!!
If Mitt runs he will have to recuse himself from voting in any impeachment effort.
The party is pretty much destroyed already. It is circling the drain and the speed of the current is accelerating.
Romney will go down in flames. The GOP is 93%-7% Trump vs the GOPe. Romney is a 7% er LOL.
SOS, The Elites must remove Trump, he is not a card carrying member. Lets hope he gets the #RationalDemocratsforTrump vote. Romney and McCain, the appeasers, got them where?
Romney is like muslim phlegm....
I’ve said it before and will say it again but I’m done with the GOP with the exception of Trump and explicitly pro-Trump candidates.
I would love Trump to start his own party and burn the GOP to the ground
right- because Vanity Fair would never post anything to start trouble against President Trump or try and divide the Republican party...this smells of BS..
