Romney to build political war chest and offer riches to fellow Republicans
Washington Examiner, Feb 7, 2019, David M. Drucker

Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah is putting his political muscle to work for Republican colleagues on Capitol Hill, launching a new vehicle for high-dollar fundraising and planning to headline events around the country in the months ahead.

Romney, the GOP presidential nominee in 2012 and among the party’s most prolific fundraisers, has formed “Team Mitt,” a joint fundraising committee with the National Republican Senatorial Committee. This weekend, the senator is traveling to Florida to mingle with Republican donors attending an annual NRSC finance retreat, the first of several trips planned to help protect the party’s Senate majority in 2020.

"Sen. Romney has an expansive national fundraising network, and Team Mitt will leverage that to help his colleagues who are up for reelection in 2020 and to help elect new Republicans to the Senate," a Romney adviser told the Washington Examiner on Thursday.

I have no problem with fundraising to help seat those up for re-election.  I do have a problem with his fundraising if its going to be used to challenge Trump.

"Team Mitt" is sure a clever, discreet name.

Nobody would even guess it had anything to do with Romney himself.

Would he be willing to once again serve as "designated, dignified loser," in order to disrupt Trump?

Perhaps.  He must realize the corruption and destruction coming from the left.  Does he care more about country or his pride?
