Romney says he wants to be part of change between black voters and GOP
The Hill ^ | June 8, 2020 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 06/08/2020 4:41:47 PM PDT by Stravinsky

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Monday said his party has “an embarrassingly small share of African American votes” and would like to change that, one day after he marched in a protest in Washington.

Romney said he is working with several Republican colleagues on legislation to “make some changes to the way we do our policing” in an effort to crack down on aberrant officers who violate civil rights or use excessive force against people of certain races.

But Romney said he didn’t march for the cause Sunday because of politics but because he felt it was his moral duty after watching what he called the “heinous murder” of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Sorry Mitt, that ship has sailed.

President Trump has this.

Romney is re-emerging a little more each day. That probably means he is expected to be nominated for the presidency at the republican convention or sooner. The sooner we get this foolishness started, the sooner it will be done with.
Bring it on, Mitt. You may not be quite as popular as you think you are. Most of us DO NOT miss you yet!

I think the 1st step would be to actually support the GOP administration.

In the Book of Mormon, the prophet Jacob, referring to the dark-skinned Lamanites, tells a group of light-skinned Nephites, “I fear that unless ye shall repent of your sins that their skins will be whiter than yours, when ye shall be brought with them before the throne of God.” (Jacob 3:8) Later, after some Lamanites repented, the Book of Mormon states “their skin became white like unto the Nephites” (3 Nephi 2:15).

He lives and dies by polls. Check out the timing: CNN says Trump is heading into a decline in the polls, Romney shows up. He does this every. Single. Time. That’s his thing.

Trump needs to call upon some folks that he helped out early in his administration. Trump used the power to pardon pretty freely.

Is he going to surrender the multi-millions he accumulated through his white privilege?
