I still don't think it was a sure thing anyone else could have won vs. Clinton, you needed the rust belt.

 What bothers me, for instance, is all presidents debate. How would he debate this? It is really just in the last month, he's made some faux pas like saying he doesn't care what  Iran does in Syria. I'd still vote for him. I'm sure his agenda is full.

Mitt Romney’s Self-Serving Attack On Trump Stains His Own Character
Ironically, for a man who claims to want divisions healed, Mitt Romney’s public attack on the president served merely to sow discord.
By Margot Cleveland   
January 3, 2019

Mitt Romney rung in the new year by virtue signaling to America. Earlier this week, the former Republican presidential candidate, now a senator from Utah, penned an op-ed for the Washington Post attacking President Donald Trump’s character.

Romney could have written his opinion article any time over the last two years. President Trump hasn’t changed one iota from candidate Trump, but Romney waited to fire until he had secured the Republican nomination for the open Utah Senate seat and then won the general election in November.

The junior senator from Utah attempted to explain away the expedience of his silence by suggesting in Tuesday’s op-ed that “the Trump presidency made a deep descent in December,” with the departures of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly. But those resignations have nothing to do with Romney’s claimed criticism of Trump—the president’s character.

And what about Romney’s character? A man of true moral mettle would not mute his criticism of the president in order to ensure an electoral victory, then, once secure in his senatorial slot, proclaim to the nation that Trump lacks the character to lead our country.

Romney’s op-ed served one purpose only: self-congratulatory adulation.  ... Read more at The Federalist
You won't hear me defending the president's "character," but I agree with this writer. Romney only made himself look petty.

Yes ... McSally should have won but she made a big mistake disavowing Trump.  That's what cost her the race.

That's odd, I don't recall Mcsally doing that.  Could you please post a link to a story reporting that?

Yeah, I don't either.  In fact, I remember it pretty much the opposite.

No can do ... it's just what I heard.  Maybe someone can.

This is from a Wikipedia article:

McSally's history of criticizing President Donald Trump drew rebuke from conservative groups including the Club for Growth, the Senate Conservatives Fund, and FreedomWorks.[49] McSally has historically maintained some distance from Trump, choosing not to endorse him in 2016 and calling his comments about sexual assault "disgusting" and "unacceptable."[43]

However, she softened her stance later but it may not have satisfied Trump supporters.
