Senate Republican leaders on Tuesday named newcomer and Trump critic Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, to the GOP whip team, weeks after the former GOP presidential nominee slammed Trump’s leadership style.

Majority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., released the names of GOP lawmakers to serve as deputy whips and Romney is among them, along with Sens. John Cornyn of Texas, Cory Gardner of Colorado, Tim Scott of South Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito, of West Virginia, Rob Portman of Ohio, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Martha McSally of Arizona, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, and Todd Young of Indiana.

Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, was named chief deputy whip.

This does not increase my confidence in the 'leaders' of the Senate.

Removing King from all committees and putting this loser in position of responsibility?

C'mon guys.

Wow.  I don't trust very many of these Senators to do all of the right things.  The list is conspicuously missing all of the best Senators, IMHO.

Trump runs as Independent. Romney nominated again by GOP.

Dems united behind anybody from their freak show,  win easily.

Trump second. Romney/GOP in third.

-----   Alternate Scenario    ----


Trump wins.

Dem finishes second.

Romney/GOP finishes in thirds.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

A majority whip, a chief deputy whip, and 10 deputy whips? What a joke.
