The year 2022 is shaping up to be a good year for the electoral prospects of the loyal opposition. Two years after losing the presidency — and then watching helplessly as Donald Trump’s petulance poisoned the Republican effort to win in Georgia and keep control of the Senate — the GOP is suddenly poised for a comeback in Congress. Inflation and rising gas prices, frustration with liberal political leaders who clung to COVID-19 restrictions well past their expiration date, and concerns about how the administration is handling the twin threats of Russia and China (to say nothing

The Deep State needs to come up with a third-party candidate to run against Trump and Hillary! to split the vote.

Romney would be a GREAT compromise candidate for the Democrats....for Republicans we are now...except for DC and some outliers...MAGA people....so Romney can take his carpetbagging, sellout arse somewhere else

If Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee, the Democrats won't even need fraud to re-elect Joe Biden. While Romney MIGHT attract independent voters, he will not attract Republican voters.

Pierre Dilecto is Delusional Dilecto. No one trusts Pierre. Pierre cannot carry 45's Toilet Paper. It's Desantis in 2024. 45 is 2022 Speaker of the House.

Peter Delicious has a good chance of winning nothing. Give it a rest Mittens. You had your chances and failed miserably. What's going to be different this time? Think you are more popular than Trump? HAHAHAHA!!!

I think too many people miss President Trump. He and Brandon are polar opposites, and people see the difference. It's only been a little over a year, and people see that there is a huge difference between the two and how they govern. I watched a panel of about 10 black 30-40-year-olds (three females, seven males, four former military, one apologetic Biden voter) on a YouTube podcast where someone boldly asked the question Trump or Biden. Every person on the panel said Trump. If Romney is the Republican nominee, Republicans will be guilty of stealing a nomination. Nobody wants Romney, and he and other RINO heads need to deal with that reality. Any Republican comeback or win in 2022 is not about RINOs, so they need to stop trying to steal the movement. We want them gone too!

Do you want Republicans to stay home? Then nominate Romney. He would be the second Susan Collins. Let’s stop this talk about a Trump match up with Biden. It ain’t gonna happen. By 2023, Biden will in a wheel chair in some nursing home with a blanket on his lap. Even if Biden were a little bit sentient and he was up against Trump, it’s Trump by a landslide. I’m tired of the media trying to cook up a horse race. Stop listening to them. I really doubt that Trump will run again because he will be 78. It depends on his health then. Who knows?

The real danger is if a real alternative runs third party against Trump. That's not Pierre.
Something like Trump vs DeSantis vs Biden or Harris. Don't think that will happen though.

There are certainly a lot of RINO squishes out there trying for time in the spotlight as they reveal their yearning for the (R) nomination. Pence and Christie have major leg tingles over this. How many others will surface? Hopefully they will take each other out in grand, humiliating fashion.

No, not in 2024, not ever. Just no. Nope, negatory, no way, zip, zero, nada, Just like McCain, he’s the Republican the MSM love - until he runs for president, then he’ll be called everything he was called in 2012. But he won’t fight back. And he will lose.

If the Stupid Party is dumb enough to nominate the very weak elite RINO Romney as their Presidential candidate for the 2024 election, the aggressive leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats and their media propagandists will kick Romney, who has shown that he cannot defend himself, into the gutter just as they did twice in the past. It is not likely that Trump Supporters who make up the majority of Republican “grass roots” voters will vote for Romney who himself voted with the Democrats to impeach Trump.

Proof that political writers, commentators, pollsters, and politicians think the public is stupid. More often than not they are quite correct: Dole, GWB, McCain, and Romney. Of course, the democrats gave us Carter, Clinton, Obama, and now Biden. Yep, I think it is safe to say that voters on the whole are stupid and the suggestion of Romney running again is par for the course.

This is the Left (and Utah newspapers are all VERY leftist) imploring the Republicans to nominate a candidate who isn't a threat to them. Notice the rag doesn't allow comments to this opinion piece -- because you don't want opinion pieces to generate discussion, do you? Stay the course, never forgive, never forget.

This is not a serious article. In fact, looking at the by-line, I would aver that it was written by an LDS sycophant. Two problems with a potential second Romney candidacy: first, he ran such a pathetic campaign against Barry Obozo (his correct call on Russia notwithstanding) that I can't imagine the GOP would be willing to risk a second try with him. Secondly, and more importantly, given his Never-Trump stance and his yea vote on impeachment, his standing in the party is kaput and his support among the party faithful is next to nil. He'll be lucky to survive a primary challenge for his Senate seat. Mr. LDS Sycophant may still dream about Mittens becoming the first Mormon POTUS, but trust me, it ain't happening.

If it means he quits as Utah's Seantor, let him run....and lose.
Neocons and RINOs and globalist GOPe's all want him over Trump, but they are a minority.
And, they throw their vote to the dem as op[posed to Trump anyway.
Out of the Senate only 18 of the 50 Republicans voted with Dems on the $1.5 trillion budget.
If given no other option, I'd vote Dem or 3rd party rather than for Mitt as a senator here.

Mitt carpet-bagged his way to Utah from Massachusetts because he realized it was the only place left he could be elected. Unless he is intending to build up a political war chest, there is no other reason to run for President.

Consider the source of this article. The Deseret News is the Mormon newspaper in Salt Lake, in Utah, the state that put Delecto in the Senate. Thanks so much, again, voters of Utah, but your co-religionist goes no higher than that.
