I.just watched a minute of Mika and had to change the channel

As frequently I must.

She was going on about how much hope she has for Romney and blah blah, but then she said "from my side of the aisle." What side is that? I feel like she insults my intelligence.

3. In 2016 she appeared to be a "Democrat for Trump"

Morning Joe helped Trump a lot in 2016...they gave him so much free air time. It was sickening.

She continues to do whatever it is she does while being anti-Trump. She is insideous.

4. Explain why you need to tell me.this please

I can't fully explain the feelings she evokes, but those feelings are negative. A few months ago she was on Stephanie Miller and the calls after she was off expressed similar sentiments to mine. Stephanie obviously felt the same way too, but was courteous.

I want to like Mika, but I can't. Apparently you can overlook her crypto Republicanism, or whatever it is that makes me dislike her?

It is like she is some kind of thought virus.

6. People have great hope for Romney . . . as they have with Collins and had for Flake.

I'm afraid it's misplaced hope. Romney might bloviate a little, but then - like Collins - he'll give Trump what he wants even though it's not what's good for the country. If he actually stands up to Trump he will go into the history books as the only Republican to put country over party.

9. Romney will do whatever he thinks is best for him

I don't quite understand why he wanted to be senator. It seems like he is bored and is just trying to find something to keep him busy.

I've never forgotten the arrogance he displayed in the documentary about him running for president when he was shocked that Obama beat him. His campaign hadn't even thought about a concession speach.

It would be funny, though, if he challenged McConnell's authority. He won't. But it would be funny if he did.

12. Maybe he hasn't abandoned the idea of running again.

13. I thought about that

Maybe leading a group of Rs that turn on 45 is his best entry into running again. He can say that he put the country first. Since he ran before he is probably in a good position to be able to quickly put together a campaign infrastructure if the opportunity arises.

Romney can squawk all he wishes about donnie but when push comes to shove, he'll vote with him 95% of the time.
