Romney fosters 2024 speculation with criticism of Trump during impeachment
The Washington Examiner ^ | 01-31-2020 | David M. Drucker

Posted on 01/31/2020 4:51:20 PM PST by Trump20162020

Mitt Romney is stoking suspicions that he is eyeing a third White House bid in 2024 after the Utah Republican broke with his party and insisted on witnesses at President Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate.

A second Republican strategist neither affiliated with nor opposed to Trump agreed that Romney’s maneuvering during the four-month impeachment process was calculated. This veteran operative predicted the senator would be active after the November elections, trying to restore the internationalist, “Chamber of Commerce” Republicanism that dominated the GOP before the elevation of Trump, a populist and a nationalist.

“He is cynically betting on an electoral disaster in 2020,” this Republican said, requesting anonymity in order to speak candidly and preserve relationships with key establishment figures. “I think he believes he will be the only guy who will look like he was in the right on the road to hell.”

Mitt must live in a teflon bubble to remain so clueless.

I bet it kills these grey poupon eating procks that a tough businessman like Trump runs circles around them and becomes president. He not only became president but he becomes one of the best presidents in decades. Poor Milt will be remembered for his binders full of women and tying his dog to the roof of his car while driving to family vacation.

He’d have to run as a RAT. That’s where he belongs.

If he runs as a Democrat, he might be able to win the party nomination as the moderate after Bernie goes down in flames in 2020.

In both of those cases, voting third party or write in who was not evil was the most viable choice because

1. If either of those men had won they would have worked to remove every nationalist at every level and replace them with open borders pro amnesty activists.

They weren't really viable anyway because the portion of the electorate who understood the effect wasn't going to vote for them. How many of those people are there? Enough to overwhelm the Democrat vote manufacturing machine in 2016 despite the Neocons leaving the party (many of whom now admit voting for Hillary)

3. One day we must all give an account for what we did in this life.

What we supported.
What we opposed.

We aren't accountable for who won.

4. Forcing the uniparty candidates to lose dismantled the viability of the mantra that the Republican Party had to compromise on this or that infiltrator that voted with the Democrats on critical issues. Making it impossible for those candidates to win eliminated the pretense that going left was more viable.


I voted for the Constitution Party candidate instead of McCain, and I voted a write in for Herman Cain instead of Romney.

Milt will be 77 in 2024.

And I still won't be voting for him ever again.

Even Democrats have standards.

The only standards that Democrats have are double standards.

Mitt needs to realize that the days of the mealy mouthed pussy boys running the GOP are over.

What she said.
