Senate Republicans could convict, or threaten to convict, thereby pressuring Trump to resign. They could even work out a deal by which they acquit in exchange for Trump not seeking a second term. Each of these options would leave the Republicans in need of a compromise candidate with very little time left on the clock. Republicans would need someone who understood the requirements of a national campaign, someone with widespread (and largely positive) name recognition, and someone on the record opposing both Trump and Trumpism.
Senator Mitt Romney is all of those things. Running Romney would immediately alienate the Trump base, but would attract voters from the sensible centers of both parties, along with independents, all of whom seem to be horrified by what they have heard thus far in the Democratic debates.
Romney could play this centrist position to devastating effect with just about anyone sharing the ticket, but there is one very shrewd move that would allow him to walk into the Oval Office in a landslide: Romney could pick a Democratic running mate.
But he shouldnt pick just any Democrat. He should pick one with a growing national stature, one with the background to appeal to Republicans and Democrats alike, and one who has openly accused the Democratic Party of playing a rigged game in its primary campaign.
Mitt Romney should pick Tulsi Gabbard.
They agree on little politically, but that is a benefit. A Romney-Gabbard ticket could be based, legitimately, on decency, truthfulness and honor. They could point the American people away from the toxicity that has come to infect American political life, and remind us that we are not two countries seeking disparate futures, but one people experimenting with different means to the same end.

Perhaps Antony Davies is Pierre Delecto’s new pseudonym.
Yet she somehow plays us like a drum in that she is apparently the right’s favorite leftist...
They certainly could and probably want to. But it will be the last official act of the GOP before it dies an ignominious and much deserved death.
This is pure BS
"I wrote this article under a new pseudonym."
Romney was rejected in favor of Obama in 2012. Tells me all I need to know.
One name for the morons who support Mitt, Paul Peterson of Arizona.
If these gutless bastards do this, they better find someplace very deep behind enemy lines to hide.
Their life would not be worth a plug nickel in this trench.
Very exciting. Very bold of you.
Who would you plan to murder first, and when and where?
The liberal Democrat’s dream. Romney-Gabbard. Then they’ll assassinate Romney.
theres nothing honorable about Romney.
.................................................
Maybe even more of a despicable cretin than John McCain, something I would never have thought possible!
Liberals lead a rich, full fantasy life
Another one sucking on the tailpipe.
Besides the FACT that this article is complete and utter Bovine Scatology. The outright stupidity of it is immense. Romney is a Never-Trumper from the beginning. And the Only reason for a POS article like this is to Try and Have the TRUE AMERICAN CITIZENS waver and vote for a political elitist that has no chance in hell of winning. Remember People, the Highest and most Greatest Crime of President Trump is simply that he IS NOT A POLITICIAN. That is the reason for all of these Politicians hate him. He can’t be bought by them and the lobbyist, therefore he is the enemy.
Absolutely. He is not a Republican.
Milton Friedman is spinning.
He had to type that with one hand - the other was obviously in his pants stroking his “ego” with that fantasy....
This is imbecilic.
I loathe Romney, with such powerful emotion that I would join an Antifa resistance movement!
As for Gabbard, she is NOT eligible to run for President or VP!
Get it through your thick heads!
Myth is now the new McLame. A DemRat flirt, Trump hater with back stabbing the conservatives tendencies. Hes all yours DemoRats.
