With Sen. Orrin Hatch’s announcement that he will not run again in 2018, Mitt Romney is on the verge of gaining his revenge against President Donald Trump. Until now, the Republican establishment has lacked a figurehead behind which it could mobilize against Trump. If Romney runs for Hatch’s position, he will be poised to challenge Trump in the 2020 Republican primary and to seek to rejuvenate the GOP establishment. Having failed twice, he may believe that the third time is the charm in running for the presidency.

Romney is no threat to anyone. Although it may be that I am underestimating the power of his magic underwear.

Until now, the Republican establishment has lacked a figurehead behind which it could mobilize against Trump. He got one thing right - Romney is nothing but a figurehead.

I think Trump would LOVE it.
Romney would be like bringing back JEB for another pay-for-view cage match beating.

Two things: I’m not sure Trump will run in 2020 and the only way he could be beaten if he does, is if the winning has not been happening for a while.
The thing about trump is that, though he does not articulate his points well, his points ARE genius. We have entered the first period of political sanity in my lifetime.

re: mobilize
Trump will “mobilize” the voters, the only people who matter.

Loser Romney should stay home
To: C19fan
Well, he should probably make it clear to the voters that if elected his goal is to not even serve half his term...
If thats his biggest fear, then he must sleep like a baby
