'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."

With few exceptions, what pathetic stock we have in Congress. To paraphrase Buckley, you could randomly select people from the phone book and they would be better.

As with McCain and GWB, I am so ashamed I never had a better candidate to vote for.

I’m sure McConnell will do his best for Romney.

Yet another proof that the 17th amendment needs to be repealed, just like prohibition.

I first heard about that song in the mid-1970s. Not sure if I ever had listened to the whole song until now.

The way things are going these days, I’m expecting the Midnight Cry.

TPTB never really allowed us any other choice, frankly.

I think same thing happened when RR had to choose a running mate. /shiny side out

Where is Covid or one of Pfizer’s killer shots when you need them? I could not think of a finer candidate.

Absolutely he will. He has nothing but good things to say about Pierre Delecto.

As Steve Dace said, looks like we are the RINOs.

LOL...Interesting proposal for Utah...What do you recommend New Mexico should do about Martin Heinrich (Lutheran) and Ben Ray Luján (Catholic)?/p>

Yep...Last seven SLC mayors have been Rats.

In Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Ohio, etc. the large cities and the boonies are in separate universes.

Either

Granted that there lots of differences, but, I think that a belief in self invincibility can turn off voters in the primary. My tagline says it best.

Mitt sees himself as unshakable, unsinkable and certain to win no matter what.

NBC History article:
... in just 160 terrifying minutes, on a supposedly unsinkable ship, as more than 1,500 souls slipped into the icy waters of the North Atlantic....It was the Titanic.

His vote for the 1.7t Omnibus has torpedoed his chances of getting any real support from Conservatives in the Republican primary process.

I'll go you one better, I'll donate to his Rat opponent.

I probably couldn't go that far, but meanwhile I would not blame you a whit. Better an open commie than a duplicitous RINO.
