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.”

John McCain was the guy that kept Mitt Romney from being my most despised Republican.
I feel I should dig up old John and apologize.
If my vote would keep Hillary out of the Whitehouse and Mitt was running against her I still wouldn’t vote for him. Nothing could compel me to vote for that waste of air.
The Mormons, the Bushes, George Will, Bill Kristol, Jonah Goldberg, Peggy Noonan.
That’s about it.
Mitts is turning out to be OUR HRC. IMO
If Romney is the candidate in 2024, I will vote third party or stay home. I have voted for the conservative candidate since my first election in 1972 not missing a single election.
Not understanding that the Republican Party underwent a hostile takeover by Trump in ’15/’16. There is no market in it for “compassionate” “conservatism."
Oh you just gave me my new tag line.
Turning against a President that your base loves in a meaningless vote in the impeachment trial is not the way to run for office in the future. It will turn out to be a meaningful vote for your political future however, Mr. Romney
What a tone deaf, misguided, miscalculating, traitorous, duplicitous, self-centered, dumbassedness, mendacious, pusillanimous polecat.
