CPAC Chairman: Romney wouldn't be safe if he attended

DougBH · 2020-02-11T02:11:08.781Z

Seems the Republican voters in Utah aren’t very perceptive if they didn’t see this happening. He was pretty clearly anti-Trump from before the Senate election. How did they not get this?
Since he is in for the duration of Trumps second term, should he have one, its a little late to be outraged. The only thing to do now is grin and bear it. There’s always the possibility of his having control of the balance between Democrats and Republicans for control of the Senate. My guess is the Dems would make some nice offers to him to turn coat.
And he would take it in a second and then congratulate himself on his own piety for selling out.

Not really. The current GOP are a bunch of toxic people who want party purity right now.

It’s not hard to figure out. The heads on pike moment was factual. It just gave you guys something to whine over till you were ready to actually do it.

Isn’t Mitch McConnell currently 77 and I understand that he is up for re-election this November? So it would appear that Romney could well stand for re-election in 2024.

Romney might end up in a terrible Rascal accident wink wink.

Nah- Romney votes with conservatives on most issues. I think he’ll be fine heading up the Sane wing of the GOP.

I do love that the GOP is going with the guy who tweets profanity rich clips that are mocking all MAGA people and tearing down the morally upstanding rock solid conservative Romney.

Upsy downsy world.

So you disagree with the CPAC Chairman?

If this is an example of your level of discernment…it isn’t very good?

My level of discernment noticed that you didn’t answer the question.

He should run third party this year…call it the “Real Conservative Party”.

The Utah/Mitt Romney thing is a little complicated. Being LDS and Republican essentially makes you politically invincible here. Add to that that many Utahns were pleased with his work with the 2002 Olympics, and he was pretty much a shoo-in. He also had Orrin Hatch’s endorsement, and Hatch is considered a legend here.
Also, in 2016, Trump wasn’t as popular in Utah as he is now. His vulgarities and crude behavior were considered a liability for many at the time.

His position on Trump will be irrelevant by the next Senatorial election because, even if Trump wins, he would be ending his second term by then.
That is my point that at this time Republicans need to be careful not to tick Romney off as he isn’t going anywhere anyway. They may need his vote at some point to retain the Senate.
You want him a loyal Republican, not someone trading his position for power.

CPAC chair…might just as well invite people to take a swing at Romney. Or worse.

Conservatives typically don’t do this kind of thing. We tend to be non violent. Violence is much more prevalent among liberal groups. Which is why many people are afraid to wear a MAGA hat.

Does the “Sane” wing include voting for 80 percent of the Trump agenda? Because Romney did. Welcome my new fellow Trump supporter!

Prove this with some facts otherwise it really just sounds like you are sharing your own personal feelings on the matter of political violence.
