With McCain’s retreat, some turn to Romney to carry his torch

In more ways than one, followers of traditional Republican orthodoxy are facing an emotional inflection point this week.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), at home battling an aggressive form of brain cancer, will not attend this weekend’s Munich Security Conference, an annual gathering of foreign policy leaders from NATO nations that has become a central clearinghouse for global security matters and a celebration of Western values and democratic institutions.

McCain, an avatar of all of the above, has been a regular attendee for decades. Last year, less than a month after President Trump took office, he stole the show with a speech that denounced the new president’s refusal to condemn Russian President Vladi­mir Putin.

But with McCain’s retreat comes the reemergence of another man: Mitt Romney...

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I wouldn’t trust Romney with matches, ever.

[UKrepublican]

And Romney will be/is just as bad.

Honestly if people elect this piece of crap then
they can burn in hell with him as far as I’m concerned.

[blackdog]

Without click revenues to the post, who are the "some" who are turning to Romney to take up with "Never flew a plane I can't crash" McCain?

Or is that just Jeff Bezos n Butthead?

[cotton1706]

Yup, just as they wanted Mike Castle of Delaware to replace Arlene Specter of Pennsylvania.

“A liberal republican is dying. Let’s get another liberal republican in there!”

[Flick Lives]

Romney is a preaniing peacock only too willing to squawk for attention from the press by badmouthing conservatives.

[boycott]

Both harder on conservatives than they were on obama. I am ready for them to throw dirt on top of both.

[thinden]

The Torch of Treason. The two who made sure that Zero was elected President without Conservative opposition.

Speaking of treason, l hope juan holds on long enough for the charges of treason & sedition for his role in the hildabeast/DNC/steele dossier can be made public

[snoringbear]

“How’s that swamp draining going?”

Sooo, does Romney even have to campaign or will he just be crowned and be done with it?

[fieldmarshaldj]

So do I. I cannot stomach the thought of this... person... receiving high honors and laying in state at a funeral. The faster he is finally exposed to the general public about who and what he is, the better.

[Baldwin77]

Two losers.

Fitting.

[VastRWCon]

Is he dead yet Jim?

[AndyJackson]

Let's look at connections. Romney ran Baines Capital a private equity group. Who were the investors in Baines. Why did they put their money into Baines. What ties to the Saudis, Rothschild's, Soros, etc.

I am at the point where I trust none of these clowns any more, speaking of which are the Clowns behind him?

Once again, we have the privileged son of a powerful father. What has Romney ever done to show he, he himself, is competent at anything?

don’t do that to your soul

[Nateman]

I've seen many posts here about Romney but not a one in his favor, yet many believe he is inevitable . Jeb had a similar reception proving establishment RINO’ s can not only be beat but utterly trounced. We must agree on an alternative for Romney for the primary run

[BlackbirdSST]

“Some turn to Romney” : The NYT, WAPO, CNN, MSNBC, DNC, Clintons, etc....

Yes! What with their favorite ratpublican in death throes they are seeking a replacement. Willard The Rat stepping in to fill the void!

[CommerceComet]

I'd pass Mitt Romney that torch ... but only after I'd soaked him in gasoline.

Just what this country needs - a rebirth of the Nelson Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party. Mitt might be a decent human being but his politics are the worst of any major Republican of recent vintage.

[Vigilanteman]

What I really don’t understand is why Trump is encouraging this putz. Couldn’t he tell Mitt he REALLY needs him for an important Consular post in Benghazi or something?
