Sen. Mitt Romney has unequivocally ruled out supporting 45th President Donald Trump’s third bid for the White House, even if the former president secures the Republican Party’s nomination.
The establishment U.S. Senator from Utah, who once sought Trump’s support in his failed bid failed to oust 44th President Barack Obama from the White House in 2012, made the remarks during a climate change event in Washington, D.C.
“Absolutely not,” Romney said, according to The Washington Examiner. He then touted his impeachment record, telling attendees, “Look, I voted to remove him from office twice.”
Claiming that “he loses,” Romney added that Trump is “not a person who ought to have the reigns of the government of the United States.”
Despite his refusal to support Trump – potentially abandoning the Republican Party’s presidential ticket come November of 2024 – Romney acknowledged the low odds that another candidate could win against him, the outlet noted.
Watch the clip on Spreely.video:
Trump continues to dominate most polls of Republican primary voters, though one poll taken immediately after the party’s mediocre midterm performance showed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis beating Trump.
Virtually all polls taken since Trump formally announced his candidacy, however, have showed the 76-year-old ahead by overwhelming margins.
Though Romney has positioned himself as a staunch public enemy of Trump, he nevertheless keeps company with many of Trump’s supposed allies.
In September, I reported that Romney was part of a group of senators – led by Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham – who sought to reverse the former president’s promise to pardon the January 6 prisoners if reelected in 2024.
January 6 “was an attack on the temple of Democracy,” declared Romney, before asserting that the January 6 defendants “should be prosecuted according to the law, and certainly not pardoned.”
Romney characterized Trump’s promise as “a grossly inappropriate comment to make.”
He might be Mr Irrelevant to you, but he supports the Biden agenda as an elected Republican.
He was one of the 12 that voted for the gay marriage law. He will support brides again.
Does anyone know the Mormon churches opinion on gays and gay marriage? If they’re against all of that, are they going to be immune from any lawsuits if they don’t perform a gay wedding and/or lose their tax free status as a church?
And folks still want his niece at the RNC
Absolutely shocked! [not]
Romney and Pence, two gasbag sphincters that have NO POLITICAL FUTURE AT ALL, that nobody listens to, or wants to hear from. Petty, vindictive, backstabbing ingrates, the pair of them. Even Joey the Sniffer, is more popular with Americans than these two pieces of shiff!
The audacity of these self inflated morons! THEY’RE NOT GOING TO ENDORSE TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT! WHO GIVES A PHLYING PHUC!!!
WHO???
They’re chicken. They won’t answer those questions.
And contrary to the hysterics, Sinema is still a Democrat.
Addition by subtraction.
Romney’s political future will be decided by the same clowns that sent his carpet-bagging a$$ to DC, in the first place.
I remember reading about his primary opponent. Born and bred in Utah. I wa thinking there’s no way they’re going to elect a guy from Michigan via Massachusetts over someone home grown.
Anyone on here from Utah that can maybe shed some light on that?
My neighbor is confused again. Was Romney supporting Mr. Trump when he voted to impeach him? . . . TWICE?
Dang, if that was support, I would hate to see what “not support” looks like.
As corrupt as the American political universe has become, I can’t doubt that you are right. Damned accursed shame!
What’s even more worrisome is that there are a whole lot of Republican politicians who think the same way as Romney, but are afraid to say it.
If Trump shows any signs of weakness in the early primaries, the knives will come out.
Not widely known——Romney, Jack Ryan and Pence like to wear the same lacy underwear. Little secrets.
Will he caucus with the Narcisisst Party? They walk around with cell phone selfie sticks attached to their belts in front.
The alternative was Zerohissef. Not sorry, myself...had no other real choice.
That said, if Mittens says no, it must be over...cuz, ya know...he’s such a conservative icon an all
Still peed off that Trump did not make him Secretary of State
LOL
Yes, the basics but what about accessorizing?
No time traveler telling about 2022 to the people of 1962 would believe this stuff.
You can’t Pierre seriously. He’s just another sanctimonious windbag.
Don’t pay any attention to him.
Put his garments on...have some fun.
The POS..!!
He's really no different than Search Light..Harry....Both part of the Morman Mafia.
