President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Mitt Romney on Thursday evening, a conversation that comes amid mounting speculation that Romney — a fierce Trump critic — is preparing to run for Senate in Utah.

The brief call, which was described by two sources who were briefed on it, lasted less than 10 minutes. The president wished Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, best of luck in his future endeavors.

Romney was an outspoken critic of Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign, describing him as a "fraud" and a "phony" and imploring the party to nominate someone else.

Those who've spoken with Romney say he is almost certain to enter the race sometime in the next few weeks. He has told friends that he was caught off guard by Hatch's retirement as he had expected him to seek reelection.

1. I have more respect for Trump than I have for Romney, and that's saying something.

8s there no depth in belly crawling Romney won't sink to ?

Romney is a mob boss

5. I'm all ears !

6. Succinctly, Romney has been partners e/ G Sachs 20 yrs

Doing organized crimes protected by corruption.

They are able to get away with because their law is a federal prosecutor, presiding over the Sachs & Romney cases.

I ran dot com company eToys (now owned by Bain Cap Toys R Us). Our lawyer / my lawyer (MNAT.com) was also - secretly - Romney & Goldman Sachs law firm.

So MNAT sold me & MNAT betrayed its court approved client - eToys - out (for their secret clients Mitt/ Bain & Goldman Sachs).

The U.S. Attorney over the cases, was Colm Connolly

Who was also a partner of MNAT

It ain't easy, to take down big sleazies, when the feds, are in bed, with the perpetrators.

3. Republicans will break bread and all is well.

[laserhaas]

4. Really? ..You don't think there's in house squabbles?

Wow

7. river did not say that rather river is simply pointing out the fact that Repugnants

are willing to crawl through literally any amount of shit smelling foulness to win such as engaging in a conspiracy with a hostile foreign country to get their help in an election because they fear they will lose without it as well as kiss one anothers ass if that is what it takes.

[riversedge]

10. Thanks, well said.

[riversedge]

9. Of course there are rifts, but in the long run, I believe Republicans will

brush the rifts off --mainly through ignoring the squabbles-rifts or by lying, break bread metaphorically, and project the image of unity. It is what repugs are good at. Have a good day.

13. Trump: Tell you what, Mitt, I'll support you if you change your last name.

Mitt: You got it! Anything else?

14. Smarmy Rmoney?

Maybe the gop sees him as a "respectable replacement" for the fat, disgusting, repulsive tRump? The Rmoney family is not too much better than the greedy, grifting tRumps. Anne Rmoney, and her snarling comment on "you people" still grates on my nerves. So, according to the Rmoneys, Anne is in frail health with MS, so why put her through all this stress again? Fake as the tRumps, perfect candidate for the lying, traitorous gop.
