That was Sen. Mitt Romney, a Utah Republican, telling MSNBC that he thinks it’s time to bench former President Donald Trump following the GOP’s somewhat lackluster showing in last week’s midterm elections.
Despite some pundits predicting a “red wave” of Republican victories that would reclaim control of Congress, Democrats managed to hold onto the Senate, and the GOP picked up fewer seats in the House than expected.
And when Romney said he thought Trump was going to announce running for president for a third time on Tuesday, that’s when the senator broke out his “aging pitcher” metaphor.
“I know there’s some fans that love him,” Romney said, “but it’s time to get off the mound, because we have a real strong bench.”
Romney has been one of the few Republicans who has been vocal in criticizing Trump over the years, including voting to impeach him twice.

Does he mean like all those poor pitchers who fell victim to Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds
Not bright enough to blame the election theft I see.
Orange Man’s Fault.
Trump’s two biggest games were lost to cheating.
I’ll take a 42-year-old Nolan Ryan over a young Sad Sam Jones (Mittens) any day.
Willard should talk. At least Trump has won and been president.
What say you Willard?
Oh really? Did Willard ever win President?
And Mitt’s an aging catcher. What’s your point?
Look who’s talking.
Funny that he said that considering Romney never won.
Yes he did, and he opens his pie hole to show us what a total ass he is.
And Romney’s a nauseating scumbag who never won a game.....not the big game anyways.
Romney lost as many times as Pres Trump.
Only reason Romney is there is because the Mormon leadership
Put him there. It really is hard to imagine a state where the church can control the populace so much that they elect Romney, Lee and a Governor who announces his pronouns.
But I do think us old folks should pass the mantle of leadership to the younger generation...
We should be thinking of grooming true young conservatives instead of clutching to power until it's pried out of our cold dead hands
Is there a bigger attention whore than Milt?
Mitt Romney you are an aging piece of chewing gum stuck under a kindergarten desk.
Please go away!
