That was Sen. Mitt Romney, a Utah Republican, telling MSNBC that he thinks it’s time to bench former President Donald Trump following the GOP’s somewhat lackluster showing in last week’s midterm elections.

Despite some pundits predicting a “red wave” of Republican victories that would reclaim control of Congress, Democrats managed to hold onto the Senate, and the GOP picked up fewer seats in the House than expected.

And when Romney said he thought Trump was going to announce running for president for a third time on Tuesday, that’s when the senator broke out his “aging pitcher” metaphor.

“I know there’s some fans that love him,” Romney said, “but it’s time to get off the mound, because we have a real strong bench.”

If Trump was pitching to Pierre Delecto, the first would be chin music, next a brush back near his ear, then then a strikeout! Trump has never lost his fastball or hardball. Mittens, on the other hand, is just a loser.

EXpect the Anti-Trumpers like Romney and Cheney Rhinos to keep beating harder and harder against Trump. Their venom is sooo obvious.

So unaware of himself. Romney is the male cheerleader in a minor league game.

As opposed to an aging “catcher” who would be more suited representing San Francisco than Utah?

Mitt Romney strikes me as a "catcher" when Lindsey is "pitching".

Romney is always wrong. He was wrong the day he was born.
