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.

This is the nonsense you get every time a liberal snowflake gets into what they consider a thoughtful mood. Geez. What a maroon.
The Democrats are flailing around like they are in danger of drowning, politically-speaking. Theories like this just prove it.
This must be satire
The only good thing about that pairing is that sooner or later, Tulsi would get pissed off at Mitt and kick his pansy ass.
Who is this Newsday article author, Antony Davies, who has fantasies of Trump resigning and Romney taking his place on the campaign trail? Idiot doesn't know a thing about either Trump or Romney.
One, Trump would never resign. He's a winner and a fighter. He won't quit. So there's that false premise by Davies.
And two, Romney couldn't win as a Republican even if he cheated. With him taking dead McCain's place as the designated GOP backstabber and Trump-hater, nobody but Bill Kristol would vote for him as a Republican.
Romney would have to run as a democRAT to win any votes. He's not even a RINO. He's a democRAT masquerading as a Republican. Even the democRATS see through his phoniness. Mitt is for Mitt and nothing else.
Thanks but no thanks.
Davies! Step away from the bong.
He already has Antony Davies.
Yes. His wife is a Christian, and Christians are evil.
Gab bard is eye candy, what value does Mitt bring?
This thing is dogshit.

What a GIRLY THIG TO DO....IS HE BI SEXUAL?
DON'T BE FOOLED!
Not only no, but hell no.
Um, I’m not fooled...
Piss ants like you better be ready to stand up and be counted. When and where this happens will dictated by the Democrat socialist and when it comes down, it will not be war but a war casualty. Fightin Whitey my arse.
Romney should resign his seat and move to Canada. Maybe they could use him.
Romney is "compromised" all right.
Newsday, another liberal waste of paper.
