Yeah, but Romney is alive. As are the likes of McSally and I’m sure some other new GOPe/uniparty/RINO neocon types to fill any void.

Romney will draw the ire of the Donald who will flame him for his pansy loss to Obama and cowering to the MSM re Candy Crowley.

Mittens would be wise to remain neutral.

Good riddance.

The mid-terms weren’t all bad. New GOP senators owe the President IOUs for their wins.

Never Trumperism is dead.

Mittens is gunning for prominence—he is yet another GHWB “son” who could step into McCain’s gnarly little shoes.

And he could maybe even serve as an independent spoiler candidate to get Kamala in like Perot got Clinton in.

MANY of the House RINOs resigned or were defeated in the last election.

"publicly criticize a president who remains popular with nearly 9 in 10 Republican voters. :

Why would one "criticize" a President with 90% approval?

Disagree? Go ahead explain it to your voters why THEY are wrong.

Just a Primadonna? GFY-

MAGA

We not only increased the size of our caucus, we improved the composition of it.

OUT: McCain, Flake and Corker. IN: Five conservatives who will work with the administration.

The change will be particularly noticeable on the Judiciary Committee where we won’t have to cow-tow to Flakaroony anymore.

Now, let’s make another net pick-up in the Senate, along with win back the House and retain the White House!!!

Unfortunately, if people were on to them, they wouldn’t have gotten elected/re-elected. What is wrong with this country?!!!

You expect wise from the creator of RomneyCare, prime promoter of same sex marriage and hater of American Boy Scouts?

A quote from Durbin concerning the Republicans, why would we care what Durbin thinks about R Senators?

People in Kentucky were on to McConnell, but his primary machinations pushed Matt Bevin out.

I betTrump has all he needs on the Skull and Bones crowd.I bet Mittens might play nice for awhile.
