'If I run, I win': Mitt Romney confident he could earn second term in US Senate

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (TND) — Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, is convinced he would win a second term in the U.S. Senate if he runs again, despite failing twice at becoming the Republican nominee for president and being known for breaking from his GOP colleagues during certain standoffs with Democrats.

"I’m convinced that if I run, I win," Romney told Politico while discussing his potential bid for reelection that would come up in 2024.

Probably the most noteworthy divergence Romney has taken from his own party was when he voted in favor of impeaching former President Donald Trump, becoming the first U.S. lawmaker in history to vote in favor of ousting a president belonging to their own party.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is urging Romney to run again, according to Politico.

"He's been a really important part of our conference," McConnell said, according to the outlet. "People respect his intelligence, his assessment of the era we find ourselves in. And I think his running for reelection would be very important. It’s important for the Republican Party and the country."

Romney is the epitome of what is wrong with the Republican Party.

A RINO’s RINO.

He’s a Bishop, of course he will be reelected.

Of course Willard might be assuming the Uniparty will use their new election system to hire him, just for appearances sake, but that would have nothing to do with an actual fair election.

I’m donating 100 immediately to his Republican opponent and I am certain many others will too.

A yellow dog could win in UT, running as a Republican. The popular UT AG might run against him in the primary.

If Jason Chaffetz ran, I’d say he’s got a good shot at Romney.

Notice how he left the door open to not run and slink away if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction?

That’s what I call that fake “angel” too - it’s as if the joke was built-in on purpose

“I’m donating 100 immediately to his Republican opponent and I am certain many others will too.”
Does he have any opposition? If so, that person better have substantial finances. The RINO machine is as vicious towards true Conservatives as the dems are towards any republican. The RINO machine spares no expense to destroy the reputation of any Conservative challenger.
In fact, the DC RINO Machine is far more vicious against Conservatives and willing to expend more cash against Conservatives than any dem opponent.
