Irish beta-boy O'Rourke found out how his party deals with losers of elections.  If Jones loses reelection, then he'd drop out of a Presidential election before he even reached IA, like Beta.

Doug Jones is not stupid unlike Beta. He managed to keep his gay son out of spotlight until after the election (smart)... He played up a fake support of the second amendment (I own guns and like to hunt BS).... He played the KKK card to the max and managed (with MSM help) to hide his involvement in protecting UAB college/football team from a multiple rape charge against a 14 y/o girl. Doug is a smart liberal cookie and more dangerous than most folks want to admit... He lies and denies with the best of the swamp... He is Slick Willie without the meddling wife and has the magic card of being able to claim to pull of the impossible in a southern state (without the press pointing out the help he had in doing so).

Mitt is signing his on political death warrant today.

He's doing it to innoculate himself from being investigated for his shenanigans with the Ukraine.

If he was to be investigated the press would just say that it's retribution by Trump.

I say Trump should do it, anyway.  (But he won't)

Perhaps - -- the Bidens will remain unscathed as well.  The only positive I see out of this who mess is Biden placed 4th in the Iowa caucus.

It's up to the folks in Utah to rectify this situation.

That's the truth.

But Carpetbagger Mitt has a plan for that. He'll just pick up and move to another state and run for office there. That's his M.O.

He establishes a residence and soon thereafter files for office. Eventually, he leaves for "medical reasons" - i.e. - the voters get sick of him.

Look for the moving trucks again, soon, coming to take "Pierre Delecto" to a new home.

Hopefully without his dog on the roof this time.

They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

We'll see about that.  In the end it may be unavoidable.

That could be in his head, but no way would the woke Dems ever vote for him. It would be fun to watch them humiliate him though.

Looking forward to it.... can't wait.    :2popcorn:

IMO, you're all missing something here.

1) The Democrat Party is ripe for takeover.
2) Mitt Romney is looking ahead to 2024...as a Democrat in the JFK or Scoop Jackson mold.

It's all there for him....the niche.

Romney will be 77 if he runs for President in 2024 -- meaning that he'd be 81 at the end of his first term.  I simply don't see it at all.  Plus, I don't think Scoop Jackson Democrats are going to be more than 10% of that party anyway by then.  They're not even that much of it now, and they'll be far more "progressive" by then.

I think he's angling for an appointment with a Democratic Administration as the token Republican if a Democrat wins in November.

RNC chairwoman splits with uncle Mitt Romney: GOP stands 'with President Trump'
By Tal Axelrod - 02/05/20 03:03 PM EST

Ronna McDaniel, the chair of the Republican National Committee and Sen. Mitt Romney’s niece, split with her uncle Wednesday after he announced he would vote to convict President Trump on one article of impeachment.

“This is not the first time I have disagreed with Mitt, and I imagine it will not be the last. The bottom line is President Trump did nothing wrong, and the Republican Party is more united than ever behind him,” she tweeted.


    This is not the first time I have disagreed with Mitt, and I imagine it will not be the last.

    The bottom line is President Trump did nothing wrong, and the Republican Party is more united than ever behind him.

    I, along with the @GOP, stand with President Trump.
    — Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) February 5, 2020

If Romney runs again in Utah, he is NOT a sure thing, if a strong Republican faced him in a primary.

Romney, Flake, McMuffin reflect the "Pearl Clutching" branch.

Mitt Romney's father George, faced Nixon in the 1968 GOP primary season.

He took the unpopular anti-Vietnam war position.

So playing rebel is not new for this family.

Remember he is the originator of Obamacare. And also remember McCain kept Obamacare alive, as his final gift to his party.

Disagree.

They 'love' him like we 'loved' him back in the Summer of '12... the vehicle to stop the criminal Obama Administration.

The don't love him as they love President Trump and what he's accomplished and has planned for the next 4 years.

He needs to be stripped of his Committee seats immediately.  Otherwise the lessons President Trump has given the GOP these past 4 years (come July) will be for naught.

FORCE him to join the Democrats...and then let's see what the Utahns do with him.

The Ward and Stake is thicker than water. Utah would still vote for him as a Dem.

Been watching FNC on and off this AM... I've seen Doug Jones, Mitt Romney, Chuck Schumer given either softball interviews or allowed to air full length floor speeches. Haven't seen a single defender of the president similarly allowed to speak at length. Can't take any more of the BS so off goes the TV.

Who has the ability to ban him??  Mitch?  If so, not going to happen.

Unfortunately, the good folks of Utah love him, otherwise he wouldn't be in the seat that he's in. He is a Mormon and a member of the LDS church -- they aren't going to turn their back on him.

Yes, Mitch can make the changes .... but no change will happen until after the election and the seating of the next Congress.

As for folks in Utah loving this creep ... guess again.  They've started a pretty successful recall movement only to discover this is unconstitutional.  Federal elected officials cannot be recalled.

They can however, be forced to resign.  I'm hoping the grassroots efforts move in this direction and are unrelenting.  The good people of Utah know they've been lied to and don't want this cretin messing around them until 2024.

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.

Agreed.  I recall how Arlen Specter sold out right at the end.  Ruined whatever reputation he may have had.  So too with Romney.  There are and will be others to one degree or another. 

Me?  I vote (R) with the understanding that not all (R)'s are "conservative" but all conservatives are (R).
