    All all the people in all the gin joints who would post an opinion piece in the Current Events section without a link. Tsk, tsk.

    Anyway, Romney has proven to be a traitor, why would anyone vote for him?

    He'd have no chance to siphon that much. Not to mention he'd probably get a few democrat votes.

    He'd have a much better chance running as a Democrat.

    Mittens and Buttigeige would make a good good couple don't you think? They kind of compliment each other and they're both egomaniacal attenention whores.

    Surely we have a poster here somewhere whose job it is to tell us what kinds of threads are allowed here. I'm sure we must have a wannabe mod around here somewhere.

    And on-topic, don't think Mitt wants to run! :salute:

    "Republicans listen, democrats who would never vote for you want to see Mitt in the primary"......

    I can't see any good reason why Republican establishment wouldn't do that

    Even if you lose four consecutive Super Bowls you did better than 30 other teams four years in a row.

    Beat Trump on policy? Nope. We ain't got that. Too much winning going on for us to convince people he doesn't know what he's doing.

    The only hope is a guy with binders full of women and sabotage.

    Desperate times Dems, desperate times.

    Don't you know that you are making fun of a guy who will become a God and have his own planet and private harem in the afterlife?

    Romney doesn't have the time to get on the ballot in many states. He'd have to obtain the required signature, have them verified, all done by 3 Mar 2020 for North Carolina. New York, Indiana, Maine, Texas would have to be accomplished by May to get on their ballot. With no organization or anyone to go get amount of signature which differ from state to state within the required time limits which also differ from state to stat, it's a pipe dream this close to the election.

    Then he could get on the clown car with the rest of them. He might even win the nomination.

    Au contraire!


    Mitt would most likely get the Democratic Party voters

    alienated by DNC partisanship and by the choice of candidate.



    Self described Conservatives :heart: Trump

    Mitt Romney should mount a goat and ride off into the sunset. His political career is over.

    Sad that someone would put doing the right thing over their own personal gain. Clearly that sort of thinking doesn’t fit in the trump gop.

    As a Oiler fan that brings up bad memories :(

    I can not see MR gaining enough support to hurt either party at this point. He is a name from the past, neither hated nor loved. Just a name. Some on the left love him at this moment for agreeing with them on Trump but they will not vote for him. If he voted his conscious then good for him.
