WASHINGTON — Senator Mitch McConnell said in an interview on Friday afternoon that President Trump should rally behind the Senate candidacy of Mitt Romney despite his blistering criticism in 2016, arguing that Mr. Romney’s potent bid was an illustration of the Republican Party’s improving fortunes entering a challenging midterm campaign.
“I can’t imagine that he’s not,” Mr. McConnell said when asked whether Mr. Trump was comfortable with Mr. Romney, who on Friday made official his long-expected candidacy for a Senate seat from Utah. “We don’t want to lose the seat, and this looks like a pretty formidable candidate.”
Mr. McConnell, the majority leader, said that Mr. Romney would enter the Senate with a stature similar to what Hillary Clinton brought as a junior senator. “The best way to think about that, and I told him this a couple of months ago, I said: ‘You’ll be a freshman like Hillary Clinton was,’” Mr. McConnell recalled. “He will come in here with a level of national identity and respect that will make him effective from Day 1.”

Go to hell Mitch. Get out and retire. We are sick of you. I am no longer a Republican because pukes like you and Mutt embarrass me.
Romney will win Utah for the same reason Hillary became senator of New York

Wow. The Turtle is sure a flaming retarded idiot, isn’t he?
I have been known to apologize to potted trees when I accidentally bump into them.
Note how stridently McConnel backs Romnay as compared to Trump or Moore.
Tells anyone with a pulse all they need to know about McConnel.
I don't think Trump is in it for the money (he's donating salary), not that you had him in mind, and he's doing the job. Romney might be in it to assuage his ego and to be "relevant." Don't think he's low on cash.
Is there no other candidate in Utah who could challenge him?
Hah...what in the world makes you think that? In Utah, Mittens just needs to be able to fog a mirror and he will win...
He loses, it’s what he does.
It will be hard pressed to call Mittens a loser...
He's a RINO liberal leaning northeast moderate that will run hard right in Utah.
When elected he will take up McCain mantle of being Trump thorn in the side asshole.
Your comments are reasonable of course.
My comments are based on the fact Romney inexplicably stopped running against Obama a month before the election and lost.
Which is why we need to get rid of McConnell....
“Mittens has got to get behind Trump”
Gotta agree. Swamp critter Romney needs to show some loyalty and support. Still, even if he did, I would not trust him.
TO HELL WITH THAT
Romney’s a disgusting, weak @ss squish.
....so he can drive it off the cliff.
Loser mcconnell is beyond the time when he should take a long walk on a short pier.
“He will come in here with a level of national identity and respect that will make him effective from Day 1.”
Actually, Mitch, what we need is a ton of unknown but smart and effective people to come in, not give a crap about whether or not you losers respect them, and rub your incompetent faces in reality - just before pushing you out the door.
“Romney will glide to victory in Utah on gossamer wings....”

True dat. If Warren Jeffs could somehow make his way to Utah and be the Republican candidate, he would win the general election.
I’d advise General Kelly to not even put any calls from Romney through to the President until Romney gets off the progressive’s train and onto the MAGA people’s train.
> “Hey Turtle - you didn’t care abut the Alabama seat so I think your opinion means nuts about what you care about for the Utah seat.”
Good point.
