The Mittster is going to be all talk and no action.
He needs to fill Corkers empty suit while hes at it.

That's all.
The media will portray him as a savior as they did McCain and Flake.

(37,648 posts)He's not suddenly going to become a Democrat while he's serving as a Republican.
He is establishment Republican. Trump's base is the extremist far-right, the former Tea Partiers. The so-called Freedom Caucus in the House.
Romney is most definitely all about big money and what benefits big money companies and people....up to a point. He has a moral compass and won't cross the criminal line, like Trump.
All the Republicans are Republicans! They all endorse the Republican Party Platform, which is at the opposite end of the spectrum as the Democratic Party Platform. And never the twain shall meet.

(23,105 posts)He's just as soulless, just as cut throat, just as focused on riches for himself by improvershing others, but he's much smarter and hides his evil better. I'm not sure Romney is a Nazi, but he'd be their funder and look the other way at the deaths as long as he is raking in the $$$. There are no good repugs anywhere in government, none.

(23,691 posts)Her guests were saying how he was an empty suit and she was fighting back. Said she and Joe are great friends with Mitt and Annie.
MSNBCs Mika Brzezinski said President Donald Trump could be getting a reality check from incoming Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney as he assumes office after he wrote a scathing op-ed in The Washington Post.
Let me just read the title of Mitt Romneys opinion piece that he wrote. The president shapes the public character of the nation. Trumps character falls short its a big piece that hes written in The Washington Post and it is searing. It is damning, Brzezinski said Wednesday on Morning Joe. If Trump thought he had a challenge in John McCain, if Trump thought there was a little challenge in Jeff Flake, I get a feeling Mitt Romney is going to bring in a whole new dose of reality for this president, she continued.
Brzezinski praised Romney for still wanting to serve in government despite losing the 2012 presidential election and said hell serve as a constant counterweight to Trump.
Mitts run for president himself and he didnt win. And you know what he decided to do? Serve anyway, she said. And I think Trump is going to regret not talking him out of this. There was some possibility he could have done that. Mitt Romney is making it very clear hes going to be much more than a thorn in President Trumps side.
She thinks he'll be a great candidate to run against Trump in 2020.

Incidentally Mika and Joe, many of us still blame you in part for the monster in the White House.

Smarter than the nude model/escort, but bitchy as hell. I thought Mittens wanted to take care of Annie because of her illness? Has she miraculously recovered? Those dancing horses must work miracles.
It would appear your memory pretty much matches mine. No presidential candidate has ever gotten the amount of nonstop free publicity that Trump got. He could call into any news show whenever he liked and suck all the oxygen out of the room. More often, than not, it was Morning Fucking Joe!
Eventually people like Mika and Joe saw the error of their ways and the nightmare that followed, but I have little doubt that they would do it all over again if given the chance. Now Mika is kissing up to Mitt and Anne, who had little trouble kissing up to Donald Trump when it served Mitt's ambitions. Mitt Romney has no real convictions, philosophy, or political agenda - he just wants to be president and will do or say whatever he thinks will get him into the White House.
After two nightmarish years of Trump, I didn't realize that Mitt Romney could still piss me off. Just because Trump is the absolute worst, does not make Romney any better than he was in 2012.

(33,345 posts)Mitt, like most Mormons, doesn't seem as if he is devoid of ethics. They're just not ethics that any of us Libtards recognize.
I'm not holding my breath, but I don't know what Trump could threaten him with. He's a Mormon Senator from freaking Utah - he'll be in office as long as he wants, and his 1st term ends when Trump's 2nd would.
