Mitt Romney is stoking suspicions that he is eyeing a third White House bid in 2024 after the Utah Republican broke with his party and insisted on witnesses at President Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate. Along with centrist Susan Collins of Maine, Romney was one of just two Senate Republicans to join the Democrats in a failed vote to subpoena fresh testimony. The 2012 Republican presidential nominee might yet acquit Trump on two articles alleging abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, but consistent criticism of Trump throughout impeachment, a GOP rarity, capped by support for witnesses has some Republicans convinced Romney is jockeying to reclaim the party.
I despise this disgusting human being...

The ghost of Benedict Arnold McCain lives in this one. He would have warned the Germans before D Day.

And who in their right mind would vote for this self-interested phony? I (and probably many other LDotters) donated and volunteered for this repulsive turncoat when he was the Republican's candidate for president. I want my money and my time back. He is reprehensible, disloyal, selfish, and disingenuous. Shame!!

If, big if, Mittens wanted to be the party leader and maybe the nominee in 24, he would be working to establish support with the Democrat base. Oh wait, that's exactly what he is trying to do.

Why not run as a Democrat in 2020? Much better chance of success there.

Not in 2024, not ever, you disloyal unprincipled piece of political scum. Utah voters primary him when he is next up for re-election.

Mittens knows the people in Utah are not going to re elect him in ‘24 so might as well run for President

This is just embellishment. Of course Romney plans to run in 2024. We have to get busy and defeat him in the primaries.

Let me guess, he'll run as an Indy, and try to siphon-off GOP votes to help elect a Democrat?
Just can't square his idea of what he thought he knew, or why he felt anyone was given due process by the House Democrats that would later be a reason for adding more witnesses.
It was the House Democrats who should have done their due diligence and followed due process, but they likely expected 4-5 Republican Senators to eagerly follow them.

Romney fought like a tiger against his Republican competitors during the 2012 primaries. Down and dirty. Then he wimped out totally after winning that debate with Obama. I knew something was very off then and haven't trusted him since..

He wouldn't even be a factor. There's a bumper crop of younger Republicans coming up that would blow him away.

McConnell can't take their Commitee Assignments away cause they'd probably both Jump Ship to become Donkees.
BUT WE SHOULD SPEND 10's of Millions to Primary each of them and the same to elect their Replacements in their Generals.
Collins is Totally Usless and Simply Stupid while Willard is a Piece of Political DoDo.

Mittens will be the Biden joke of 2024 and will perform like Biden in 2008 getting less than 1% of the vote.

Mittens has shown his true colors as a Senator. In response Trump Supporters who make up a very big majority of Republican voters will never cast their ballots for Mittens.

Why would anyone want to align with such a two-faced hypocritical pettifogger? He has shown himself to be untrustworthy: charming to his Party's political adversaries, nasty to those who should be treated as friends and allies.

Romney tried to run against Trump in 2020 but received very little support. He’s untrustworthy.

The camouflage candidate... Acted Democrat in MA to get in. Acted Republican in UT to get in. Is he going to try to seem Trump-like to win in 2024? He sure as hell can't pass as a Democrat or Republican, any more...
