1. Romney will be the tough opponent in 2024, despite current sentiments

Dec 2020

The Trump wing will be disgraced, and the GOP will be looking for somebody who can reclaim moderate suburbs. He'll be up against Kamala Harris, as Biden won't run again.

he's got a real chance, and his vote to impeach Trump may be the smartest long-game vote in US history. It looks like a deficit in GOP primaries *right now*, but will look like a genius move by January 2024.

He's going to be tough to beat.

2. As Governor of Massachusetts for 4 years

he spent the 1st 18 months jamming in the Heritage Club's RomneyCare medical plan for the state, then spent the next 30 months flying around the country slamming the state for being a Liberal bastion.

When his 4 years term was up, he and his staff then took EVERY hard drive out of every state computer they used leaving ZERO record of their footprints to follow his corruption. And he got away with it. That phony two-faced POS can never be president.... EVER.

3. From the repug point of view, Romney will come out of the last 4 years looking good

The problem the republicans have is the extreme right crazies have taken over their party, and it will be hard for them to separate from that

I agree with you. Romney has no chance unless the GOP changes it's ways drastically (don't see it happening soon).

They want "The Show". They have loved being victimized by Trump (the ultimate victim). They want the hate, disruption and chaos. They have been brainwashed by the Trump troll. I am not sure they recover.

9. You have to give him props...

...he was consistent in calling out the DonCon, especially post election.

In a party of abject cowardice and delusion, saying that 2+2 = 4 becomes a revolutionary act.
