Waiting on Standby to replace Trump as your president

It is good to know we have a standby president in case President Donald Trump somehow falters, or is impeached, convicted and thrown out of office. No, the standby is not Vice President Mike Pence, who also might be thrown out with Trump at the 2020 GOP convention, if not sooner.

It is fellow job shopping Republican Mitt Romney, the new senator from Utah who, in a mean-spirited attack on Trump last week, let the nation and the world know that he is standing by to become president once Trump is removed from office.

Romney is now known in Washington and in capitals around the world as President Standby, the man in the bullpen warming up to save the country and the world from Trump

If The Donald and Pence were removed it would go to the Speaker of the HOuse, nancy pelousy as per the Constitution

Per legislation. The only member in the presidential line of succession identified by the Constitution is the vice-president.

That's if they were removed immediately, without waiting for 01.20.2021.

Is this your blog, luke?

If the Stupid Party thinks I'll vote for Romney in 2020, they're out of their damn' minds.

Never Trump? Try NEVER ROMNEY!!!

[Teacher317]

If it is Romney v Hillary, he has my vote... but just barely.

Harry Reid has already endorsed Mitt...(he forgave him for his never paying taxes)

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Of Trump was impeached none of this would matter because we’d be in a civil war

Vice President Mike Pence, who also might be thrown out with Trump at the 2020 GOP convention,

What has the author been smoking?

[miss marmelstein]

I think that’s what Washington hates the most: Trump had a great time running for prez and seems to enjoy being President. It just makes the elites grind their teeth.

An open borders toady who worked to institute a radical sexual indoctrination curriculum into the Massachusetts elementary schools when he was Governor is even a vague possibility?

They couldn’t plunger that globalist turd into the presidency before, and they won’t be able to in the future either.

[MrEdd]

You might as well vote Hillary in that situation, because as was shown conclusively in 2008 and in 2012 the patriots monitoring the border invasion will always vote for a candidate who will fulfill the presidential mandate to protect the country, even if that means third party or write in.

In 2016 one of the major parties ran such a candidate.
Despite open borders activists on Free Republic asserting for over a decade that there were only a few such people around...they swamped the Democrat vote manufacturing machine.

Mitt has been and always will be unviable.

[originalbuckeye]

Well, I’m sure that the squishy, middle of the road Dems (a rapidly dwindling group) might vote for Mitt......but he woudn’t get the majority of Republicans.

[faithhopecharity]

Flake, McShame, Pelousy, Romney, Kasick, HilLIARy, FakeInjunSquaw, two new IslamoNazi spies in Congress, Ocasio-Cortez, the high school nut job boy from Florida...toss in a few mass media liars and idiots from Hollywood... and

that’s a complete contingent for the Insane Asylum...right there!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Who needs Romney when there’s always Jeb Bush?

[indthkr]

Romney is now known in Washington and in capitals around the world as President Standby

America already passed judgment on Romney's leadership abilities when he couldn't even beat a leftist loon in 2012.

[rhombus10]

No love for Romney here. In fact, in 2016, Romney convinced me to leave the GOP. That being said, I’m still not convinced Romney lost in 2012.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Romney went to Utah because only Utah Morons would elect him.
