Sen. Mitt Romney has unequivocally ruled out supporting 45th President Donald Trump’s third bid for the White House, even if the former president secures the Republican Party’s nomination.
The establishment U.S. Senator from Utah, who once sought Trump’s support in his failed bid failed to oust 44th President Barack Obama from the White House in 2012, made the remarks during a climate change event in Washington, D.C.
“Absolutely not,” Romney said, according to The Washington Examiner. He then touted his impeachment record, telling attendees, “Look, I voted to remove him from office twice.”
Claiming that “he loses,” Romney added that Trump is “not a person who ought to have the reigns of the government of the United States.”
Despite his refusal to support Trump – potentially abandoning the Republican Party’s presidential ticket come November of 2024 – Romney acknowledged the low odds that another candidate could win against him, the outlet noted.
Watch the clip on Spreely.video:
Trump continues to dominate most polls of Republican primary voters, though one poll taken immediately after the party’s mediocre midterm performance showed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis beating Trump.
Virtually all polls taken since Trump formally announced his candidacy, however, have showed the 76-year-old ahead by overwhelming margins.
Though Romney has positioned himself as a staunch public enemy of Trump, he nevertheless keeps company with many of Trump’s supposed allies.
In September, I reported that Romney was part of a group of senators – led by Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham – who sought to reverse the former president’s promise to pardon the January 6 prisoners if reelected in 2024.
While most of this small, establishment coalition sought to sway Trump diplomatically, Romney used used the media to bludgeon the idea.
January 6 “was an attack on the temple of Democracy,” declared Romney, before asserting that the January 6 defendants “should be prosecuted according to the law, and certainly not pardoned.”
Romney characterized Trump’s promise as “a grossly inappropriate comment to make.”

I have been able to see right through Romney ever since he gave up trying to win when he ran against Obama for President. I really don’t think he will ever get reelected as Senator.
Trump loves America, and worked harder than any President I have ever seen. He was very open with us about what he was doing, to save our country and the world.

The other day, Mitt (Pierre Delecto) Romney stated that the GOP in the House should just let it go over investigating Hunter Biden, the laptop and his connections to China and the Ukraine. Why would Mittens do this? because like Nancy, Mitch, John Kerry, etc, they all have kids earning big bucks working for companies just like Hunter did. No experience but for that name.

Mutt is a hypocritical carpetbagging traitor who has done more to destroy our liberties than any other person who has ever called themselves a Republican. He certainly destroyed more jobs than he created when he was part of Bain Capital, a corporate cannibal.
I have a file three inches thick on that traitorous SOB and the Mormons had better wake up and not vote for him again, if he runs! They cant seem to see that he is satanic!
His office has banned many people from calling, texting, emailing or visiting for just simple disagreements. Nothing that was threatening. He just won’t talk to anyone who disagrees with him.

First, the low life chicken molester begs Donald Trump to help him get elected. The second he stepped into office he searched for the biggest knife he could find to stab Trump in the back with.
He does not deserve to be removed from office, he deserves to be deported to North Korea with his seat being in the baggage compartment.

His comments prove what a worthless person he is with no character, morals, loyalty. He is a HUGE traitor to the USA as well as he is to the Morman Church. You would think a person lacking integrity like Romney would be cast out by the Church. If not, then they’re not any better than him. Here is a guy who 10 years ago secured the Republican nominee for President and now he tells them what he thinks of them. A person with class would hold his vile comments. I see no use for him continuing in this world.

We need to stop our politicians and the corrupt media from calling our system a democracy. Our federal government is a republic. In simple terms, a democracy is mob rule. Our states vote as a democracy but the country is a republic. The corrupt start by changing the terms. This is no different than calling abortion pro choice or healthcare. When something is said many times and loud enough, it bc true to the uninformed. And 50%if the people are uninformed. We also need to get back to state senators being chosen by the state house representatives. The house is closer to the people and are more in tune with their constituents. They were able to choose the state senators before the change, who would be more in line with each state constituents needs which would benefit the people. Now the reps and the senators of the same state can easily be on opposite sides. Then we need term limits and limited income for politicians with no benefits whatsoever. This country is just about over as a free state.

We had a three time “Red Flag” Utah House member voted out in the Republican Convention [30-70, not even close] who then tried to run a write in campaign in the general. He lost there, too, despite Democrat support. So, in March 2024, we will have Precinct caucuses followed by the Convention in April. He will probably run a petition drive to get on the Primary ballot since he will probably lose the Convention vote. It will be most interesting to see what the Democrats do in this race. Really, Mittens should go on a Mission to Russia.

He has been a third wheel since he became a Representative. I hope the people of Utah come to their senses by 2024, time for Romney to go. He and Liz Cheney has been turning to the dark side, long ago, has NOTHING to do with Trump.
But, knowing Mormons, they will hold him in just because he claims to be a Mormon. He won’t make it as a Pug next term, guarantee it, so independent is the last thing he hasn’t tried, probably will work in Utah, for a Mormon. Ignorant.
