Another tidbit from Gabriel Debenedetti’s The Long Alliance.
How badly did Mitt Romney betray Republicans? If you believe the book, he was urging Biden to run in 2018.
“It felt a lot better than last time he’d done this — that dark November night in 2016 — and not just because his party was winning this time. He was also hearing a welcome refrain, sometimes from surprising corners of the political universe. At one point he connected with Mitt Romney, Obama’s old foe who’d been easily elected to the Senate as a rare Trump-opposing Republican. They were warm as Biden cheered the result. Then Romney got to the point: You have to run, he said.”
The language is vague.
Biden is cheering Dem midterm wins. Is Romney? At the very least he’s not unhappy about them.
Importantly, Romney is urging Biden to run against a Republican president. Apologists might suggest that Romney wants Biden to counter “extremist” figures like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, but their staffers ended up running the administration anyway.
The bottom line is that Romney was pushing a member of the opposing party to run. It’s not too surprising.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) wrote for The Atlantic Monday that President Joe Biden “is a genuinely good man,” but doesn’t see him as a great unifier for the country.
Old Mitt, as in catcher’s mitt, couldn’t take out a badly wounded Obama, so what does he know about strategy. Just go away already and the citizens of Utah need to bring Jason back for his Senate seat.
More like a butt Mitt, that takes a pounding and keeps annoying us anyway.
THE GUYS NOT EVEN A CONSERVATIVE, NOR OBVIOUSLY A REPUBLICAN, HE SHOULD BE BOOTED FROM THE GOP, IMMEDIATELY.
IF THE REPUBL;ICAN PARTY SEEMS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE DEMOCRATS TODAY, THATS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SAME EXACT PARTY, THE ONLY PEO0PLE WHO DONT GET IT ARE THE CONSERVATIVES THAT CONTINUE VOTING FOR THEM.
I just read that there are Democrats running as Republicans for the next election. Romney is that. Get him out of there please.
The guy is, and has always been, a snobby opportunist. Heaven help anyone who falls for his lies. He is the epitome of a RINO.
Backstabbing, until proven otherwise.
The got advisors now on how to be republican in all 50 states as seen by the reaction to the steal. They did not include Conservatives on the list of candidates.
Wasn’t Romney also involved in some shady dealings with the CCP, like Xiden? No wonder he thinks Xiden is a “Genuinely good man,” even though it’s obvious he’s not, just from what he himself has said. Birds of a feather…
Understand this. RINOs are not turncoats. They have always been on the side of government as opposed to citizens. If you think any political party is on your side, knock the cobwebs out of your brain and get over it.
PLEASE!!! ALTER YOUR WEBSITE. THE PRINT IS TOO LIGHT AND IMPOSSIBLE TO READ! PLEASE!!
Running Biden was good for Trump because Biden is a foolish plastic retard and corrupt.
Nobody saw the level of cheating that was coming. That wasn’t Biden but other Democratic Party forces.
It’s wrong that Romney ran as an anti-Trump Republican. While he certainly has held office like that, he lied to the voters and implied that he was pro Trump, or at least not anti Trump. He even sought (and obtained) Trump’s endorsement of his candidacy.
