Are they trying to bring things back to "rational" Republicans? Cause I got news for them: their base got the straight racism from trump, they wont handle the dog whistles anymore. Though it would be hilarious to see them try, only to hemorrhage voters and crater enthusiasm.

Also to the surprise of nobody, Romney's sure to continue the Republican tradition of enabling and supporting trump, while at the same time being concerned about his antics.

Romney thinks they can go back to dogwhistles instead of the current megaphones and he's delusional

But it doesn't matter either way to him since he will die a rich man no matter what

Oh and yes, as soon as Romney has to fall in line he absolutely will.

shhh, nothing would be more satisfying than a public and aggressive pillorying of Mitt Romney. Remember, he was running on anti-immigrant hardline poo poo in Utah lol he's just as bad as Trump. Let them fight.

A 4 way race would be legit amazing.

As for Romney bucking Trump, Utah gives him a lot more leeway to do so than Arizona gave McCain since Utah will reelect him until he drops, now matter what. But he won't do it because he's spineless and believes a lot of the same things.

Some key differences:
- Tmurp is 4 years older, a lot fatter, and even duller than he was in 2016
- He's wayyyyyyy more invested now, by most accounts he didn't really ever expect to win until he actually won
- He's going to be up to his rear end in Democrat congressional subpoenas

e: Note I'm not saying this means he won't win, I'm saying it will be loving riveting :suspense:

4 years of failure is a lot to question him about. That said, I'm still doubtful anyone will truly run against him, as much as I'd like to see a damaging primary.

This would be so healthy for our democracy, if we had sane electoral rules to go along with it (we don't).

As is, I imagine no one would get to 270 and there is a fair chance the house, depending on makeup, installs Romney/Kasich or Bloomberg/Zuck in the name of decorum even though they'd be 3rd /4th in the popular vote given these tickets.

Romney is more likely to be setting up the wedge for someone else in the party than planning to run himself. If he were running himself he'd not have run for the Utah senate seat and exposed himself on votes for the next two years.

Who's ready for the media to absolutely fall all over itself to create a narrative about Serious Dignified Conservatives who are strong and smart and nobly standing up to Trump, to the point where it sucks the air out of the room for left candidates and amounts to billions in free advertising for the GOP?

These are the same groups that couldn't help but present Paul Ryan as a Serious Thinker and Fiscal Conservative With Big Strong Ideas because of their desperation to show the GOP in a good light so as to seem unbiased. They're going to publicly open mouth kiss Romney by the time the GOP primary is ending.
