1. Mittens

started his 2024 bid very early.

3. Actually...

...I think that ends any future runs for him. The Republican faithful will never forgive him for such “disloyalty.”

[ChoppinBroccoli]

2. And Now, After Having Given Him A Stern Talking To.........

............I will proceed to vote for every one of his judicial nominees, as well as every one of his preferred bills that comes down the pike. That'll show him.

Mitt's all talk.

5. Senators Jeff Flake and Susan Collins like your post. n/t

15. For someone vicious enough to be a "Vulture Capitalist" and ruin the lives and livelihoods

of so many hard working people, he is a wimp.

23. Paul Ryan said...

And I quote from the 2012 RNC Convention, “that’s a good thing”. Somebody getting rich is the purpose of The Party of the Rich.

4. DO something, Mitt! Stop with the farts of disapproval and DO SOMETHING!

Gather like minded Republicans and break with the goddamn cult of a party. Declare en masse that you now caucus with the Democrats to dethrone this nonsense.

If you want to save your party, take away the incentive to support Trump. If supporting Trump gets them nothing, they'll break from him.

8. Mitt has spent his entire life as part of a cult

He doesn't have it in him to truly rebel. I'm sure this sideways comment will be followed by repentance. He'll be back on board tomorrow.

[JHB]

12. I'm fully aware of that. Mitt's middle name isn't really "Willard...

...it's "Knuckle under".

But some things need to be said.

[JI7]

14. There aren't like minded Republicans and most of the Party hates him

The Republican Party is pretty much a Trump Cult right now.

[SoonerPride]

6. Well Mittens did vote to convict Trump on Art 1

So he at least was willing to kick him out of office

He’s better than pretty much all other republicans in office.

That said he is still terrible.

7. Lonesome Mittens.

An unfortunate cowboy moniker.

[ecstatic]

9. Thanks, Mitt. The silence from your colleagues is just as hurtful,

if not more so, than trump's actions. It's really hard to believe that millions of Americans gave them a pass after their criminal negligence and complicity.

[LiberalLovinLug]

19. I'll bet a lot of the cowards in the party speak to him in private

With a
"You know I don't like him either, bad for the country, I'm with you there, but you understand how I can't make my constituents angry at me right Mitt?....Mitt?"

[Cha]

10. Who knew I'd be Rt mitt romney..

he says it well, though.

what will be his price to pay going against the Treasonous FAKE pres.. Real Psycho Serial LIAR?

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Willard Willard,

whom you trying to fool? You are a mealy Mouthed Goober who has always looked for a opportunity to polish your image at the behest of others.

13. Trump reads Hitler

Doubtful he has read Romney’s “Losing Gracefully” memoir.

If Romney wants to caucus Blue he is always most welcome.

[scarletwoman]

16. If he really wants to help, he'd change his party affiliation to Independent & caucus w/ the Dems.

[LudwigPastorius]

17. "Romney makes a pretty strong statement against Trump"

...and the 2024 Republican primary campaigns have begun!

(I'm still hoping that Trump will keel over dead by then, though.)

[jgmiller]

18. He's not running for president he's running for something different

His end came since he got elected has been majority leader. He's showing he is the adult in the room to the non-insane senate GOP members (yes there are a few). He's running the long game with a possibility of it becoming a short game. At some point he will challenge McConnell or McConnell will die either way that's what he's planning for.

McConnell proved a very old adage, why be the guy in charge when you can control the guy in charge.

20. Brace yourselves for the 2 AM twitter-storm....

Romney's a piece of coward shit, but he's better than the rest of the coward shits.

[AdamGG]

21. Obamacare was modeled on Romneycare

It's not saying much, but he's less horrible than the average Republican. If you look at the Republicans who served as Governor of Massachusetts in the last 25 years (Weld, Cellucci, Romney, Baker), all of them were way more reasonable than Republicans in general, except for maybe Cellucci, who came within one state legislature vote of reinstating the death penalty in Mass.

22. Good.

It took him way too long, but here he finally is. It took too long, but you know, whatever.

[Duppers]

24. Retweet, retweet
