President Trump’s trip to Utah Monday was ostensibly about eliminating national monument status for two Utah landmarks. But most speculate that the real reason for the trip was a subtle effort to block Mitt Romney from reentering politics.
Romney has made noise about a potential run for Senator Orrin Hatch’s seat, should the longtime Utah senator choose not to seek reelection next year.
Monday’s presidential visit seemed to turn into a full-on lobbying effort to get Hatch to stay put. Or perhaps more to the point, to get Romney to stay far away from Washington. And Romney was all too happy to hit back with a tweet that made it clear he’s not about to be shoved aside.
The rising tensions are indeed another chapter in a long-simmering feud that began more than two years ago when Trump entered the presidential race.
But this latest round is less about the past than it is a preview of what it could look like should Romney run and win a Senate seat from his new home state of Utah next year. A Senator Romney wouldn’t just be a force in Washington on policy matters but also would probably serve as the counterweight trying to block Trump’s takeover of the Republican Party.

Romney will be just another Cheap Labor Express Republican like Hatch, voting against the interests of the citizens and the rule of law and supporting fraudulently documented foreigners and their employers.
Romney is a piece of garbage. Trump will clean his clock.
It will never happen.
If Myth even thinks about running, the long history of the stark racism of the Mormon church against Blacks will be posted from sea to shining sea.
The Mormon mafia can’t afford for that to happen.
a Sen Romney would be another Sen McStain RINO
Trump cucked Mittens with ease during the primaries.
He as bigger fish to fry.
The only concern that Trump has about Romney is that he might hit him up for another campaign donation...like last time.
After that speech, Trump invited him to Trump Bedminster (I think) and we were buzzing about him possibly being Sec’y. of State. Photographers got some good pictures of them, once having dinner, once with Trump smiling, waving Mitt goodbye.
Trump has beaten Mitt like a drum. If he’s up for taking another beating, I don’t doubt that the President will oblige him.
“It will never happen. If Myth even thinks about running, the long history of the stark racism of the Mormon church against Blacks will be posted from sea to shining sea. The Mormon mafia can’t afford for that to happen.”
you do understand that Romney will be running in Utah right?
romney was too stupid to understand that he was pushed aside by the bushes when jeb was running, but used by them to try to stop trump. played like a poorly tuned fiddle.
If he runs, he will lose.
More wishful toking from the Boston Globaloney.
I forgot that. Thanks!
Trump doesn’t forget.
For Romney to show up now is bad form.
The elites have called on him again.
Romney’s ego is so hugh, and the plans for Trump so believable, he thinks he has a chance.
He’s going to lose his front teeth this time.
Trump just met with the high priests of the Mormon beehive, gave them back a million acres of land stolen by Obama, in order to weaken his LDS enemies like Jeff Flake and Mitt Romney.
Let’s see how long they stay bought.
The press loves Willard the Rat when he does their bidding. How could we ever have voted for this goofball?
Actually, his wife would make a good candidate,
but Willard-the-Rat would, could NEVER allow
a woman, his wife, to run.
She belongs in his notebook, or on the roof of his car.
love your bio.
Romney is an open borders, draft-dodging animal abuser and was the architect of Obamacare.
