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

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.”

Here’s your problem Mitt, without Trumps endorcement, you are just another floating turd. Your own state is starting to hate your ass, and that coming fromMormons. My bet is on his son Eric for 2024!

Does Mitt have the faintest conception of how much he is loathed by Deplorables?

Romney is the SWAMP.

We’re going to be able to tell Trump’s progress in drainage by how Romney is being treated in the Senate.

When I see him in the corner of the room at a kindergarten desk with a dunce cap on his head, I’ll know that Trump is leaving things in good stead.

Romney is the perfect example of what has been ailing the GOP for far too long now. They give us establishment candidates who tells us what we want to hear, and deliver on the exact opposite. All the while we are begging for someone to step up and save the country we love so much.

I would imagine senators could be recalled if Amendment 17 to the US Constitution were repealed.

Which it should be, anyway, even without a need to recall senators.

It converted the Senate from an instrument for the states to keep FedGov on a short leash into just a more expensive/exclusive version of the House.

I will never ever ever ever vote for that guy. He is more damaging than a democrat because he'll fail as a Republican.

The odds of a Mitt win? Same as...(finish the sentence with an impossible thing).

Same as seeing Donald Trump and Hillary in an affair.
