GOP donors are reportedly encouraging Mitt Romney to primary Trump
The Week ^ | October 7, 2019 | Staff

Posted on 10/08/2019 9:11:49 AM PDT by C19fan

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."

Neither do I

The GOPe i has never in its history been the gold standard so many simpletons here ape

Without standouts like Goldwater and Magnus and Trump what where would the GOPe be

Think

Lincoln is adored by many some Freepers...fair enough

Who else after him merits serious adoration till Magnus?

Coolidge...I’m mean really..he was a fine man personally but he’s only legendary to wonks

The GOPe claim to fame is were better than the other guys ...even that’s debatable on occasion

Reality check: There is exactly one candidate who can win in 2020 running as a Republican. His name is Donald Trump.

Anyone else will lose in a landslide, and the % of registered Republicans casting votes for the party's candidate will be at an historic low. Conversely, the number of registered Republicans crossing over and voting for a Dem could be at record highs. This is the Stupid Party stupidly committing suicide.

Never Trumpers will be able to rename themselves to 'Never Agains', indicating the timing of their return to relevance in American politics. You want to destroy your party, go for it. I vote for Trump or nobody in 2020.

Federalist—According to Burisma’s website, Joseph Cofer Black (Romney adviser) was appointed in February of 2017 and continues to serve on its board. The timelines would indicate that Black and Biden worked together at Burisma, and indeed, web archives from late 2017 show Black and Biden listed simultaneously on the board.

These people are bigger enemies than the Leftists. At least we can see them coming - these guys are within our ranks.

These people need to be weeded out, as they most certainly do NOT represent the people of this country, or even of the Republican Party.

He fights like a berzerker against conservative candidates of his own party...but not the Leftists. So he will be more formidable than he was against the Halfrican.

.......... Republicans are absolute Geniuses and Masters of Dysfuctionality and Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory.

.... Because of their inability to work together as a team .... I am not confident that the GOP has the ability to pull off another successful victory in the next Federal Election.

Rino’s and Deep State.

ROFL Mittens had no stanking chance when he ran for POTUS all he can do is Sh— in the punch bowl.

Trump would take Mittens to the wood shed

He really is trying to stir the pot...Talk about outrageous conflict of interest...

Whole House “inquiry” is kangaroo court. I cannot imagine enough Senators would vote impeachment...

However, should a vote be held vote held, although mendacious mitt should recuse his pompous a$$, but I am certain he would vote impeachment before declaring a run, another example of huge conflict of interest!

All of this providing cover for Biden and his son’s crimes which of course lead to Clinton and Obama.That’s what this is about in this newest BS installment of the coup. It’s disgusting. Why isn’t the DOJ and GOP helping the President? President Trump’s Achilles Heal is trusting the “process” and taking the word of those who advise and are within the administration who are backstabbing,treasonous swamp creatures.

Fake News. The democrat/Republican/Uniparty donor is encouraging Romney. and probably after he told them to.

“There is a half-billion dollars on the sidelines from guys who are fed up with Trump,”

How many votes do they actually think that will buy them? A million? Two?
