Senate Republicans could convict, or threaten to convict, thereby pressuring Trump to resign. They could even work out a deal by which they acquit in exchange for Trump not seeking a second term. Each of these options would leave the Republicans in need of a compromise candidate with very little time left on the clock. Republicans would need someone who understood the requirements of a national campaign, someone with widespread (and largely positive) name recognition, and someone on the record opposing both Trump and Trumpism.
Senator Mitt Romney is all of those things. Running Romney would immediately alienate the Trump base, but would attract voters from the sensible centers of both parties, along with independents, all of whom seem to be horrified by what they have heard thus far in the Democratic debates.
Romney could play this centrist position to devastating effect with just about anyone sharing the ticket, but there is one very shrewd move that would allow him to walk into the Oval Office in a landslide: Romney could pick a Democratic running mate.
But he shouldn’t pick just any Democrat. He should pick one with a growing national stature, one with the background to appeal to Republicans and Democrats alike, and one who has openly accused the Democratic Party of playing a rigged game in its primary campaign.
Mitt Romney should pick Tulsi Gabbard.
They agree on little politically, but that is a benefit. A Romney-Gabbard ticket could be based, legitimately, on decency, truthfulness and honor. They could point the American people away from the toxicity that has come to infect American political life, and remind us that we are not two countries seeking disparate futures, but one people experimenting with different means to the same end.

Romney is nonsensible and so are his supporters and advocates.
He was considered as bad as Trump by the Left in 2012.
The Left will tell you Pence is horrible too.
Romney should run AS a Democrat.
Where do all these idiots crawl out from?
The political parties objected to this and got the constitution amended so as to increase party power over the people.
As for the OP, people actually get paid to compose idiotic advocacy? What a country!
This is the most stupid article I have read in a long, looooong time.
Agree. It’s pure tripe.
This article's thesis is akin to telling a Robert Kraft to trade Brady to the LA Rams for Geoffrey Goff.
Same end ???
WOW...Talk about being completely clueless....
The political and cultural objectives of the Conservative vote and the Marxist vote are far different.
Night and day. Life and death. freedom verses slavery
GOP commits Sodoku.
And, he was considered as bad as Obama by the Nationalists in 2012.
We saw how well what is left of the Republicans do without the nationalists in both 2008 and 2012 when the Republican party nominated successive open borders globalists.
That said, I am getting a little sick of 'my brothers and sisters in uniform' every other sentence - makes her sound like a pol hack and not a simple former soldier, which while honorable doesn't make you a saint and has become itself almost an intersectional class which is very bad.
That's gotta stop ... or not ... but ... I suspect if i'm getting sick of it so are many other people.
Thus far, Tulsi is taken seriously for being rational so far as that word makes any sense for a democrat. If she starts getting known as a pol who's just another parasite on a trademark associated with her past (think McCain,) she'll be quickly forgotten (since she doesn't have an admiral Dad and a questionable hero story,) mostly unconsciously, by America.
Romney should resign his seat in the Senate and run as an independent.
Yeah, and that’s why he was elected in a landslide in 2012. Oh, wait! He wasn’t.
Romney isn’t just “nonsensical”.
He is corrupt and evil.
Tulsi is an antiwar leftist.
“Republicans would need someone ...on the record opposing both Trump and Trumpism.”
Well, since Trump and Trumpism enjoy 95% support among Republicans, that would be kind of silly, now wouldn’t it?
What’s this guy been smoking?!
Amen. At least with Tulsi you get someone who is honest about her leftist views.
PierreE DelictO (PEDO) Willard Romney will
attract pedophiles, rapists, polygamists,
and child abusers who follow him.
He should run with Carlos Danger.
