All Romney did was confirm the distrust and anger of the electorate that gave Trump the White House in the first place. He confirmed their reasoning in doing so and harmed the political establishment even more.

Yes he got his revenge moment, just like McCain did with his Obomacare vote.. and spit in the face of the American voter and harmed America in doing so.. just like McCain before him.. because his ego was more important than this nation.

Mormons should be ashamed of themselves for putting this tool iinto the senate.

Romney: John Bolton must testify at the senate trial. I want to hear what John Bolton has to say.

Yep, been pushing that since December, and when it looked like no witnesses were coming, suddenly the New York Times gets a leak about what an upcoming book (March 17th release) might say on the topic.

There’s no question in my mind he’s got something cooked up with Bolton. And no question that he’s working with liberals to see it come to fruition. After all, if, somehow, he can actually damage Trump, what is the GOP going to do? My guess is that he assumes that they’ll turn to the previous nominee, someone who has been a consistent voice in being critical of Trump, and the only Republican to vote to impeach...

Someone the swamp knows and loves.

People love to speculate about a coup attempt; sure, I’ll toss my speculation into the ring. Romney intends on damaging Trump with concocted scenarios and seize the nomination for himself, playing himself as ‘someone who can bring the entire nation together.’

But but, he invoked his faith and God. We all know that no scoundrel or wrongdoer has ever in the history of ever invoked God.

Saint Romney of Utah/Mass/Michigan is no exception.

Probably for the first time in his life, Romney will be the toast of Washington, not the guy who lost in 2012.

Not the first time the mainstream media has venerated Romney. Remember how the fawned over him in the Republican primaries in 2012?

They will prop him up in his fights with fellow Republicans, then drop him like a hot potato when he's up against one of their guys.

Romney will never learn. He will carry the title "loser" his whole life, while Trump will be remembered as "successful two-term President."

Let me get this straight, this moral giant - Mitt Romney put his personal animus against the President over the beliefs and values of his constituents. Looked at another way, the voters of Utah did not have their views represented by one of their elected senators because the Senator had personal with the President. What a shallow man. What a big “F you” to people of Utah. I can only hope Utah has provisions for recalling a Senator who the people feel has stopped representing them.

I disagree with the conclusions of this article, but I would not call Debra J. Saunders a “ditzy hack”. She has been a lone at least mildly conservative voice on the San Francisco Chronicle since the Clinton years.

What you’re overlooking here is that Donald Trump was elected by millions of voters who despised John Bolton almost as much as they despised Hillary Clinton.

And now they despise Mitt Romney more than either of those two sh!t-bags.

If Mitt Romney ran for president he’s have a hard time getting even 100 electoral votes right now — because there are at least 8-10 states he won in 2012 that he’d lose today.

I have nothing but contempt for the voters of Utah — because when they elected Mitt Romney, they effectively gave one of their two Senate seats to Massachusetts.

Doesn’t everyone know that Romney has hatred in his heart about Trump?

“Romney is overwhelmed with jealousy.”
Something happened to him during the three debates he had with Zero. In the first debate he ‘steam rolled’ Obama. The next two, Mitts was his beotch. Someone got to him. IMHO

There are no provisions for recalling elected Federal politicians in any of the 50(7) States. Zero, zip, nada. Without a Constitutional Amendment there never will be, much like term limits.

According to the searches that I did she started the ob-eds on July 14th 2013 which was titled: A Student Loan Faceoff and had to do about dingy Harry Reid

A Student Loan Faceoff

It seems to me however she started much sooner and normally a conservative.

I’m not thinking he’d win in the slightest bit. Between all the GOP who’d stay home and whatnot, I think it’d be a cakewalk for someone else.

I am not discounting Romney’s hubris in thinking he could sweep in and win the presidency. He would believe he has a shot, so why not take all of them if he can?

Romney will go independent and be the VP pick at a brokered Dem convention.

Hillary is still in control of the DNC and awaiting her turn. Her or Michelle Obama.

No way they let the actual Dem voters pick their nominee from the seven losers left in the field.
