Here's the only question that matters as far as Romney's potential as a 2020 presidential candidate:

What state would Romney win in 2020 that he lost in 2012?

Every time I look at the 2012 electoral map, I only see opportunities for Romney to LOSE states, not GAIN them.

Here is how I suggested that Romney could be defeated in 2018, by a Conservative Primary opponent:

Romney need not be allowed to run away with it, if a true Conservative emerges in Utah, who understands how to handle him:

1. You do not do so in an insulting manner. Rather, you praise him as a religious man with a distinguished public career; but quietly point out his failure to effectively oppose Obama, and the latter's eight year war against values sacred to most Utahans. Treat it simply as part of an understandable mellowing, which comes either with age or excessive politeness--or whatever.

2. You heap faint praise on him as an elder statesman, while attacking the Obaman legacy with all of the fire & vitriol that you carefully avoid in any direct reference to Romney. In other words, you showcase your superiority, while showing only deference to the weaker candidate.
