This stunning endorsement only tells me Trump is right about everything RNC. Its as if his Aberdeen, Scotland golf resort personally offended King Charles. Oh Wait....
Well, Myth, to me you’re an aging “catcher”.
Mitt is the mascot of the other team. Too easy.
Senate: Current
Dems..... 48
Other.... 02
Rep’s.... 49
The two other caucus and vote with the Democrats.
With teammates like Romney and McConnell in the field how the hell do you win any games?
As opposed to an aging “catcher” who would be more suited representing San Francisco than Utah?
Mitt the Twit symbolizes the reason the
Republicans have a hard time winning elections now. RINO
