With Romney's Comeback Rumors Swirling, Former Hillary Clinton Staffers Blow A Gasket
Townhall.com ^ | Jan 09, 2018 | Matt Vespa

Well, 2018 brought us some Senate news for the upcoming midterm elections. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) decided to not run for an eighth term in the Senate. The road is clear for Mitt Romney who is a heavy favorite to replace Hatch. Also, how will the Trump White House feel about a vocal Never Trump politician catching a second wind in public life? Yet, for now, it’s what if Romney runs, he hasn’t made it official yet. If he does, he’s pretty much guaranteed to win the election. As we all speculate, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign staff sort of blew a gasket. Romney can have another bite at the apple—he’s a two-time presidential loser, like Clinton, but she’s the one that has to remove herself from politics. Ugh! It’s the patriarchy at work (via Free Beacon):

…Clinton alumni and boosters—like former press secretary Brian Fallon, Nick Morrow, and Eric Boehlert—decried what they viewed as a double standard for Clinton and Romney.

Fallon wrote that Romney should focus on knitting rather than politics, referencing a Vanity Fair video last month in which writers jokingly offered New Year's resolutions for Clinton, including one female writer who suggested she could take up knitting.

Though it was part of a series of videos mocking other politicians and Vanity Fair is an openly left-leaning publication, Clinton backers and other liberals ripped the joke as sexist, and the magazine subsequently apologized.

Mitt Romney lost and the media is begging him to run for office. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote and they told her to take up knitting. Sexism at work.

Strange how losing male presidential candidate Mitt Romney is being immediately discussed as a replacement for Orrin Hatch’s senate seat and isn’t being told to take up knitting!

— Nick Morrow (@NRMorrow) January 2, 2018

Isn't Mitt Romney supposed to take up knitting and go away forever? Or is that just Dem women?

— Jessie Lahr (@JessieLahrr) January 2, 2018

Mitt Romney may run for Senate? I thought failed presidential candidates were only allowed to take up knitting.

— Brian Fallon (@brianefallon) January 2, 2018

Yeah, whatever, guys—Hillary has a book that torched pretty much everyone, blaming Joe Biden, Obama, the FBI, James Comey, the media, Bernie Sanders, the Democratic National Committee, and the Russians for costing her the 2016 election. She has a super PAC that fights the Trump agenda and is projected to give monetary support to 2018 candidates as well. Maybe the bitterness of losing in 2016 still stings with the alumni of the Hillary campaign. I guess she could run for something else if she wanted to, but she said she’s done with running for office. Yet, plans can change. Oprah Winfrey said she was a no-go on 2020, now—she’s reportedly mulling a run. I hope Hillary goes away, but she is useful as a GOP punching bag. As the Clinton camp whines, Romney could become Utah’s next senator.

It was people from Hillary's base who said she should retire and take up knitting. What does that have to do with Romney? Oh well, nobody ever accused Democrats of being logical.

For all of his faults, Mitt didn’t have to be told to go away.

Of course the media want him to run (and lose!) again. That's why they encouraged him in the first place.

Run for the Senate, if you wish, Mitt. But please don't get any ideas about running for President again. Three strikes, you're out.

STEALING ELECTIONS WITH COMPUTERS and Technology Cybercrimes, watch Bloomberg's Digital Defense November 3, 2016 (19:40).

To better understand "THE MASTER KEY" to stealing elections with computers, watch:
I'LL NEVER TRUST ANOTHER COMPUTER COUNTED ELECTION AGAIN !

Things have changed!

Bennie Smith, a Memphis computer programmer, discovered HOW this is done through aDiebold Election Systems changed its name in 2006 to Premier Election Solutions.
Bloomberg's article titled How to Protect Against Election Day Hacking gives more proof of this by Memphis computer programmer Bennie Smith.

How can a man that lives in Massachusetts run for Senator in Utah?

It's been years since Mittens lived in Massachusetts.

In any case, even before he became Governor of Massachusetts, the question was seriously raised, in the light of his role in the Salt Lake City Olympics (2002), should he go for governor of Massachusetts or of Utah?

If he had chosen the latter, he probably would have won, and he would not have had RomneyCare around his neck in 2012.

Of course, Mittens being Mittens, he still would mostly likely have found a way to lose!

"For all of his faults, Mitt didn’t have to be told to go away."

He had more class than to hang around after the election like Obama and Hillary did. We just wish Mitt would stay away.

Romney began RomneyCARE after his company raped
other companies and through the people to the ground.

RomneyCARE was made to shut the people, thrown from
the raped companies, UP.

Mr. ROmneyCARE should leave America and go
back to Mexico with his polygamous, socialist agenda.

If Hillary wants to run for Senate again, be my guest. Maybe she can move to another state where she has a good shot to win.

Interesting post on vote counting fraud. You going to make it a stand-alone thread?

If I can find a video or a photo showing the 24,000 write=in votes for JUDGE Roy Moore.
I've got the 15,000 write in votes decreasing to 14,000, and I believe I can find the 24,000 write-in votes on "Right Side Broadcasting Network" Youtube Channel.

But until I find it, I'll just keep 'pounding the drum' !
