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.

He’s not a politician, and he has no political aspirations. It’ huge.
He’ll fold just like he did when debating Obama. Romney is weak. He’ll never be a formidable candidate.
Mitt’s wife won’t let him run again.
Isn’t it a bit unseemly for a republican to run against the incumbent?
You have a lot of company. Romney is an unprincipled opportunist who demonstrated that he is not to be trusted.
Mittens Romney has all the ability to excite voters that Jebbie the preppie Bush has.....nobody who has any love for this country would vote for either elitist wimp....
Reagan ran against and almost beat Ford in 1976.
Romney is such a putz he managed to cause me to vote Libertarian in the general election.
His only supporters are RINOS and Mormons (who normally are good conservatives, but blinded by religion — that’s be like me supporting Bernie Sanders).
Pray that the people of Utah will not elect him to the Senate.
It won’t happen. I don’t think Romney—given his age—wants to run for President in 2020.
Oh, to dream of a good old RINO revival. It warms the cockles of their hearts.
Trump can probably use a Uke (or several) in 2020.
[Definition: In Japanese martial arts, a “Uke” is the person the master uses to beat up on in order to demonstrate and practice his techniques.]
[In 2016, Trump used JEB and numerous others for this purpose. By contrast, Cruz rose to the level of an actual opponent.]
President Trump does what is right for the USA, not himself. I have rarely seen that before and certainly not for many years.
So he reminds us...daily. The best thing he can do for the USA, is to rescind DACA, today...as he promised he would, over and over during the campaign. And then make mexico pay for the wall..Perhaps he’s in over his head, or hoodwinked us from the getgo...either way, fish or cut bait.
I'd be more concerned about some Dem coming out of the woodwork to challenge him.
Romney/Flake...That’s the ticket, GOPe...Yeah!!!!
ROFL
Bwahahahaha
Trump doesn’t fear the Mormon Yeb!
Romney 2020: The Revenge of the Deep State Globalists.
My fear is that if Romney gets the nomination, he will throw the election to the Rat candidate just like he did in 2012.
I agree. If anything he would tend to jump on board, just like a lot of others are doing.
In 2020, there will be a yuge question the pundits are going to be asking - "Are you better off now than you were during the days of Barack Obama?"
Take a gander at what the answer will be, especially with the lame streamer media in the toilet.
