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.”

No, there is no recall for Congress; would require a national constitutional amendment to enact recall or also term limits.

If he can’t be President, than no Republican can.

When they walk down the street Romney and Hillary both have to have crowd control cops hold back adoring fans on the other sidewalk behind barricades to keep them from rushing over and begging to be able to kiss their feet.

“Run for President. Please. We need you. Run!”

This is a recurring dream both of them have. May it never come true.

“I think he believes he will be the only guy who will look like he was in the right on the road to hell.”
**************************************************************************************
How can Mittens be such an idiot? POTUS has a super high approval rating with the Republicans. So he’s going to oppose POTUS—and expect those same people to see him as anything but a traitor?

I think the cuckoo bird just fell out of the cuckoo clock.

Or is it that he’s just trying to avoid his dirty deals with Ukraine from coming to light—that I could believe.

You talk about delusional. Does this guy honestly think that he stands a chance running for president again? There is no way in hell that the base voters who have supported Trump through thick and thin would ever be reduced to voting for scum Romney. NO WAY!!!

Because of Myth Romney Utah is working on passing a bill that allows for the recall of their US Senators.

When Romney was running for President I went so far as to hand out voter guides. I spent a lot of time doing footwork! I am horrified that I could be so fooled. As the saying goes: Fool me once...…

My candidate for 2024 is Don Jr if he decides to run. There’s no one else on the GOP field that excites me.

He just wants to be a spoiler now. He knows his day is past, and he just wants to bring Trump down with him.
