Mitt Romney running for Senate in Utah has interesting future possiblities

Mitt wins and becomes a Senator.
Trump, not happy.
He will be the grenade in Trump's bunker on the Hill.

After a year or so of poking the bear, Mitt could then possibly challenge Trump in a primary run in 2020 in an attempt to bring the GOP back to "normal."

If the GOP base is sick of Trump BS by then, and their taxes have gone up, Mitt could win and be the redemptive GOP candidate in 2020. Again.

Is Mitt Romney the "new Nixon?" (We know Trump is the "old Nixon.&quot
GOP rules are "run for President until you die" like Reagan.

compared to Trump he is Lincoln. I thought George W. Bush was bad. I thought Mitt was bad. I had no idea what bad was until Trump won. Actually, any way Trump is out of office is fine by me. Impeached, removed, Democrat wins, Mitt wins - at this point I will take anything. Why? I think Trump is a unique person, and uniquely bad. He needs to be flushed down the toilet of history and the sooner the better. Having Trump in charge of the most powerful military on earth is enough to make anybody lay awake at night.

4. My point being a divided GOP in 2020 after a strong primary run by Mitt would be good for us
