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.”

All the while we are begging for someone to step up and save the country we love so much.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God heard our pleas and moved Donald Trump to run.

Pence will be 2024 Republican nominee, and he will win in 2024!

Mitt is done in politics!

FOREVER!

I cannot envision anyone stupid enough to vote for him. He is a disgrace. I can’t wait to read each and every post calling him all the vile names he deserves.

So you would think he would vote no if he was running knowing the backlash from Trump supports, 62 million voters he just pissed off.

Makes no sense.

On the contrary, Mitt Romney is highly skilled.
But he has always been a Fabian socialist like his father so the things he sets out to accomplish once in office always align with the Fabian long term agenda.

He is a one time governor who did not run for re-election because he knew he would get beat. He is a two time failed presidential candidate and now he is underwater with the Utah electorate.

I got it right the 1st time.

The left hates him. Republicans loathe him.

Mitt Romney is one delusional idiot if he thinks he’ll even make it past the first cuts in the primary.

I will never vote for Romney again.

Never Romney.

There were those who castigated me in 2012 when I said there was no way I'd vote for Romney. Now, almost eight years later my conscience is clear, and once again I will refuse to vote for Romney. Although I do believe a snowball in Hell has a better chance than he does.

Dred Scott v. Sandford had to be overturned by the 13th Amendment.

The ability to recall federal officers, likewise, will have to be enacted via a constitutional amendment. Yes, for now, the court decision in the Frank Church case gets quoted in every attempt to recall a senator, so it is in fact settled law.

By the way, I support an amendment to permit recall of federal officers.

Romney is the proverbial turd in the punch bowl. Just about all Republicans and conservatives can’t stand the man.
