Trump For Romney?

Romney went overboard in his criticisms of Trump during the heat of the election and he should be forgiven. Fifty million Americans have said or thought worse and as they gradually come around, they too, need to be forgiven.

Trump has been a great president so far and he could go on to be a historic one, but that REQUIRES widening his base. This mid-term and the next presidential election are the two chances he has to do that.

Widening the base is a complicated feat. Trump has to bring new believers on board, whilst not alienating the ones he already has. I think he has brilliant political instincts and will make the right choices.

Trump also needs to be less sensitive to HONEST criticism — I understand the need to fight lying leftist loony tunes Pelosi and Schumer, they are human garbage, lie after lie, but Romney isn’t in that category, he is a man with a following in the exact camp Trump could pick up supporters in, something that would be very good for him in states other than just Utah.

I hope the President’s political team has this critical factor under consideration. Whichever way the President goes, I support him, I just hope he hears McConnell, because sometimes he whispers when he should be shouting.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell from this AP report:

AP — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said that President Trump should back Mitt Romney‘s Senate bid, saying that the former presidential candidate bolsters the GOP’s prospects of holding onto the seat currently held by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). “We don’t want to lose the seat, and this looks like a pretty formidable candidate,” McConnell told The New York Times in an interview on Friday. Asked whether Trump is comfortable with Romney’s Senate bid, McConnell replied: “I can’t imagine that he’s not.” After months of speculation, Romney announced this week that he would run to succeed Hatch, the longest-serving Republican currently in the Senate. Hatch, 83, said last month that he would not seek an eighth term in office. The White House had pressed Hatch to run for reelection in 2018, largely in hopes of deterring Romney from seeking the Senate seat, according to the Times. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor who challenged former President Obama for the White House in 2012, has been a vocal critic of Trump. Speaking at a GOP dinner in Provo, Utah, on Friday, Romney vowed to break from Trump when he believes it is necessary. “I’m not always with the president on what he might say or do, and if that happens, I’ll call them like I see them, the way I have in the past,” Romney said, according to the Times. He did, however, mention that he supports much of Trump’s domestic agenda. McConnell told the Times on Friday that Romney would enter the Senate with a profile similar to the one Hillary Clinton had when she ran successfully for Senate in 2000. “The best way to think about that, and I told [Romney] this a couple of months ago, I said: ‘You’ll be a freshman like Hillary Clinton was,’ ” McConnell said. “He will come in here with a level of national identity and respect that will make him effective from Day 1.”
