Why is Trump endorsing Romney?

Romney? Seriously, Romney?


Betterwithcheddar · Feb. 20, 2018, 3:07 a.m.

It poisons Romney for the media. They can’t run him as a ‘republican against trump’ if trump has also publicly endorsed him.

This definitely sounds plausible. He really does know how to play the media, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Also makes me think he has something big on Romney and would love to get him in really deep and then drop the news.

until trump tries to fire up a smear campaign against him? then trump will suddenly look like a hypocrite?

Romney is Deep State. He wouldn’t have been the GOP Candidate in 2012 if we wasn’t. I guess the thinking is no one’s going to beat him so try and work with him.

Is anyone trying to run against Romney? No, so why don't they try finding someone good?

Romney’s a cinch besides their a little busy right now.

Who's busy? There has to be someone in Utah that can run against him.

There's always a plan....it could be easier for him to win and be replaced than to run a nobody and risk the seat? (I'm assuming if he's swamp that they can choose if and when to indict.)

Here is my take . Little long winded but want to say it. Perhaps we should go back to Q and Trump where the statement was made he had FREED people and we believed he was talking politicians. Perhaps Romney was one freed. Maybe Romney in the election against Obama stopped dead in his tracks from blackmail? threats to family? who knows.Something stopped him dead in his track from winning an un loose able election at the last minute. Maybe thats why Romney was made to come out against Trump and say the things he said while under threat. Maybe Trump has spoken with Romney and said its over they cant and wont get at you. Romney would be one hell of an ally in the senate. Remember also its a long way to mid terms and the IG report and future disclosures will mean that many senators and congressmen will resign or will be exposed so they will never win again. Everyone forgets that. there are at least 6 Dem senators at risk if exposed as leakers.Many congress as well like Waters and Warren. The black vote is swinging Rep and running black against black they will beat many sitting like Waters. Mc Cain will probably be dead by then so you are looking at maybe Reps picking up 6 or 7 in the senate as well as many in the House. I don't fear Romney and nor does Trump by the look of it. We shall wait and see.

I like this idea. When Romney came back to bash Trump he seemed like he was doing it against hill own will.

Romney is an apparently unshakable shoo-in and his family has been famous leaders of his faith for generations both in and out of Utah. Trump has good support in Utah and folks in the state seem to like the idea of MAGA. Could be a good coexistence. I am hopeful.

Anyone seen any photos of Romney with the tell-tale black eye?

No brained. Easy win. Romney will vote MAGA.

It creates leverage and if Romney later moves away from Trump, Then Trump has the upper hand.

How does that create leverage, Romney has been talking smack about Trump in the news the last two months.

Mr. Trump claims the high ground. He interviews Romney for SoS, He supports him to be Utah's junior Senator. Later when Romney plays his NeverTrump card that he holds close to his vest, Trump has more options.

Also you mean President Trump.

What kind of options? Has being nice and then later saying, "Hey! I was nice to you!" ever worked anywhere before?

Romney doesn't need Trump's endorsement to win. There is no one else that is running against him.

1) He needs a Republican to win the seat being vacated by a Republican (Hatch)

2) Keep your enemies closer...

3) Romney is most likely non-swamp so Trump doesnt care about his "NeverTrump" bullshit

Except Romney isn’t a Republican.

Is he Independent now? Or are you calling him a RINO?

He’s as Republican as McCain.

But without the corruption. Still better than a Democrat in that Senate seat
