6 Jan: Park Record, Utah: Editorial: On climate change, Mitt Romney has an opportunity to lead
Despite the former GOP presidential nominee’s ties to the Park City area, voters here instead backed his Democratic opponent, Jenny Wilson, in November. But on at least one important topic, Romney’s views broadly align with those of Summit County residents and we’ll be looking to him for leadership.
In contrast to many in his party, Romney is a firm believer in climate change...
During last year’s campaign, he spoke repeatedly about the importance of combating climate change and the danger of failing to do so — including the potential for wildfires in the West to become even more severe and frequent in coming decades...
Already, Romney has shown he is unafraid to ruffle feathers on Capitol Hill. He spent the days before he took the oath of office Thursday in the national spotlight for authoring an opinion piece in the Washington Post taking President Trump to task for failing to rise “to the mantle of the office.”...
He’ll need to take that aggressive tone one step further on climate change and demand action. That would mean finding common ground with Democrats on climate legislation and, given the current state of the GOP, being one of the few from his party willing to do so...

5 Jan: Axios: Beto O’Rourke “supportive of the concept” of Green New Deal
by Shannon Vavra
Beto O’Rourke is “supportive of the concept” of a Green New Deal and “is looking forward to engaging more on the issue,” a spokesperson told HuffPost...
An aide for Sen. Elizabeth Warren told Axios earlier this week that she also supports the “idea” of a Green New Deal...
But Romney’s effort casting himself as the arbiter of character rings hollow for some who worked on, or were involved with, the Romney 2012 campaign for the presidency.
Over the years, our current Ambassador to Germany and former Fox News contributor, Richard Grenell, and I became friends. Everyone was very excited when Romney, having won the GOP nomination in 2012, chose Ric to be his national security spokesman for the campaign. As the New York Times put it at the time, “Mr. Grenell, a 45-year-old with a sharp wit, had joined the Romney campaign in April with sterling recommendations from Bush-era foreign policy figures, and an impressive résumé. He had served as a United States spokesman at the United Nations under four ambassadors during the Bush administration…”
Choosing Ric as his campaign national security spokesman was a natural and inspired choice. But when character mattered, Romney choked.
Willard McRomney is void of character!
should be even.
‘Republican Sen. Mitt Romney’ now that right there is a bold lie ...
Willard was in the race to make sure Zero had no actual opponent, same as McQueeg in 2008. He only attacks Conservatives, never left-wingers like himself. Treasonous scum.
Because treasonous ex-Gov. Willard is now a sitting Senator, and has actual power which he neither earned nor deserves.
As for your dream, I thought that’s what happened at those show debates.
Evidently you did not get to witness Mitt at his finest, when both Obama & Candy Crowley worked him over like he was a stuffed pig at the closing of a POTUS debate on national TV. Was disgusting to watch Mitt acting like a weak knee puppet, responding to each and every demand made by Obama & Crowley!!! What a loser this guy Romney really is!!!
A void. Yes. A big black hole.
As for Presidential aspirations, Mitt knows that PDJT rendered him an irrelevant jock-sniffer.
Like toenail fungus, Romney won’t go away. However, toenail fungus has the advantage of not talking.
Willard isn’t there to become President, just sabotage. He has attempted to destroy 3 elections in a row and is setting up for the 4th. Although McQueeg wasn’t running as anything other than a ringer in 2008, Willard worked on destroying Gov. Palin privately, the only shot McQueeg had at accidentally winning the Presidency. Then his full fledged shot in ‘12 at making sure Zero got a second term easily. In 2016, he personally recruited Egg McMuffin to funnel votes away from Trump to try to elect Hillary (his ultimate goal). He will be equally working hard to sabotage and upend President Trump for either a RINO ringer and/or for the Demonrat nominee.
P.S. If you got your repeal of the 17th Amendment, the UT legislature still would’ve elected this piece of $hit as Senator. These legislatures do love their corrupt establishment cretins.
Thanks for the link to the other article on Romney’s treatment of people behind the scenes. He’s even a bigger jerk than I thought.
So goes the story. It was a former McCain operative who started the "Romney trying to destroy Palin" story.
Maybe it was true and maybe it wasn't. I don't see the evidence that Romney was trying to destroy Palin during the campaign, and few have even made that claim.
After the election, McCain's people were working hard to vilify Palin and blame her for their loss, and that McCain operative chose to blame Romney for what McCain's people were doing even without any Romney involvement. And of course, Palin did enough herself to destroy her chances on her won.
If Romney or his people did badmouth Palin after the campaign, it isn't at all out of place for any potential candidate to promote his or her own candidacy at the expense of somebody else.
But the myth just grows and grows.
They are probably propping him up to believe he can win so they can try to slip Hillary in again because they owe her. Hillary will run with McCaulif. Tim Kaine was a mistake. She on’t ever be top of the ticket though.
I’ve made that claim openly and unapologetically since 2008. Willard wanted to be the “running mate” in 2008 to set him up nicely for 2012. When it went to Palin, he and “his people” were part of a number of individuals who sliced and diced her for the purposes of destroying her political career and prevent her from being a viable candidate in 2012 (and hence a threat to Zero).
You see, even if McQueeg hadn’t designated himself as ringer for Zero in 2008, Willard wasn’t just going to quietly sit back and let some “pissant” Governor from Alaska bury him for good that year. He’d been angling to screw the nation either way since he ran for Senator in 1994. He was going to set up the party and nation real good had he taken out Ted Kennedy and been the Presidential standard-bearer in 1996. The damage he’d have inflicted to the GOP and Conservatives would’ve been epic. He’s already done that in spades since 2008, and he’s not done, yet.
There was enough mess and recrimination in the McCain-Palin campaign that you don't have to postulate evil Mitt behind it all - they were already destroying each other.
And no, even if Romney had beaten Kennedy, there is no way Republicans would have nominated him for president in 1996.
In the extremely unlikely event Mitt Romney had been nominated in 1996, he would have been beaten as badly as Dole was, without real lasting damage to Republicans or conservatives.
But the myth just grows.
Especially not Mittens the RINO.
No Romney will ever occupy the White House I hope.
