So who doubts that Mitt Romney is running for president?

[Cyrano]

He thinks or "knows" that Trump will self destruct, or be impeached and removed, and he'll be the last man standing.

It's hard to admit that he could be right. But he could well be the Republican nominee, and he could well be the next president.

Let me say this. No Republican should be president for the next 30-50 years. They are a criminal organization, and whoever their candidate is, he will be forced to play by their rules. Romney will be as much a slave to GOP dogma as Trump is.

Given where we are today, voting for a Republican, any Republican, at any level of government, is nothing more than a death wish.

Republicans have destroyed whatever we once called America. And they will crush us to dust for their own profit, power, and their absolute control of our lives.

Anyone who ever votes for any Republican, for any office, for any reason, is either a fool or will never "get it" until they are living under total control by those in power.

1. I think he's eyeing 2024. n/t

[eilen]

3. Him and Kasich /nt

[Ellipsis]

6. No.... Kasich said he hasn't made a descision about 2020 yet.

At least that's what he said mid week last week.

He's re-examining.

11. He'll never run against Trump...

He’d get his ass handed to him by the True Believer majority. And that would still be the case in 2024 should Cheetolini manage to steal another term.

What Pierre is banking on is the walls caving in on Trump – enough scandals coming thick-and-fast that even his own party removes him from office and then tries to pretend they never supported him in the first place.

2. how about no repuke EVER again EVER

not even for morgue janitor

[Whiskeytide]

4. Romney is done as a Republican candidate. A fake Twitter account ...

... disrespecting trump? Any chance he could pull enough of the deplorable base to compete in a general election just completely and irretrievably evaporated.

Maybe Pierre Delecto could run as an independent.

5. lol, but I have to say when I read that, it was the most human thing about Romney I've ever heard

He seems so robotic and just a weird dude. Him actually creating an anonymous Twitter account to speak his mind is shady but still kinda normal too. That is what the Internet USE to be about.

[EveHammond13]

7. he is positioning himself should the opportune moment arrive

[madaboutharry]

8. I think he is putting everyone on notice

so that they’re not too surprised when he votes to find Trump guilty of the impeachment charges.

9. I am ready for my closeup... nt

[TlalocW]

10. I think maybe he's fantasizing that the GOP will turn to him in their hour of need but

I don't think he has the spine to actually take on Trump. Anyway, it's rare for a political party to run a previous loser of a past presidential election in another presidential election, and conservative religious nutjobs have to be exhausted by now, betraying their so-called values by propping up Trump. They already pretended that they weren't referring to Mormonism as a cult prior to (AND after) 2012 but always thought of it as a legitimate sect of Christianity. They don't want to have to do that again.

12. Trump's numbers are slipping in GOP Primary race

From Public Religious Research institute : 74% of GOP Voters favor renomination of Trump ...Reuters Ipsos :64% of GOP voters favor Trump renomination .…..That's a sizable drop …..A sizable minority faction within the GOP are fed up with him ...If thoe numbers drop about 10% more , Romney or Kasich might challenge Trump for the nomination …….Both are keeping their options open ….. National Polling Results released this evening : Morning Consult : Biden 30% Warren 21% Bernie 18% - a small drop for Joe …..Public Religious Research Institute :Biden 25% Bernie 17% Warren 16% ...From Reuters /Ipsos : Biden 24% Warren 17% Bernie 15 %

13. Remove Trump. Pence is Prez. Pence picks Romney as his VP. If he is

Pence's VP, he would not run for Prez at this time.

I think this a realistic scenario.

[IndyOp]

14. If Romney and Weld both run that would put a big dent

in votes for Trump. Good for us.
