Romney-Bloomberg: The Unity Ticket America Deserves
thebulwark ^ | 02/17/2020 | Neal Simon

In casting his singular vote to impeach and remove Donald Trump from office, Mitt Romney made history. Now it’s time for him to take a step further. For the good of the country, Senator Romney should run for president as an independent.

With the democratic-socialist Bernie Sanders now the Democratic frontrunner and the political arsonist Donald Trump as the Republican incumbent, there is a yawning chasm that has never before existed in American politics. By retreating to their poles, our two major parties have left tens of millions of independents and moderate Democrats and Republicans unrepresented.

Bwahaha. Some of us might deserve that, but certainly not the majority of this great nation!

I don’t think so.

Both moderate Democrats. For fence sitters everywhere.

I could see it happening, too, but we could search high and low for a full political cycle and not find two more reviled candidates. DJT’s base could easily grow against this pair, rather than shrink.

the more likely ticket is bloomberg with hillary as his veep. because hillary brings along the democrat establishment, the party apparatus et al. and everything else that was disrupted in 2016. Bloomberg brings unlimited money.

This is the piece I have been waiting for a Republican Senator to write.

Question whether Trump’s actions warrant removal from office, but please admit he did something wrong.

It has been sad to see so many defending “perfect behavior.”https://t.co/eG9DNwVEuG— Neal Simon (@nealjsimon) December 22, 2019

That sounds like some of my NeverTrump relatives.

I keep trying to tell them that there are no longer enough voters who would buy this crap to win elections. You’re either a Trumper or a Socialist. Or you’re a piece of roadkill straddling the yellow line.

I don’t know if i should laugh or barf at this? It should be encouraged! I would love to see Romney/Bloomberg run as a third party. It would split the left right down the middle.

The final vote would be: President Trump 55%, Socialist Bernie 25%,Romney/Bloomberg 20%.

A moderate is like an armadillo. Famous for straddling the line.

They would probably only need to strip a few thousand voters in the swing states to accomplish their purpose.

I thought it was a joke article, but now I'm not so sure. This guy might be serious.

Romney/Bloomberg is a ticket only Romney, Bloomberg and Bill Kristol could love.

Now being the Dim Hero rather than the traditional “Republican” Pussy, Mittens would lure more votes from Dimwitz, as well as lure many of Burned Bernie’s psyco voters, with the rest sittin things out

And don’t even get me started on Mayor Bloomin’Idiot

Republicans won’t support it.
Democrats won’t support it.
Jeb and the Bush Family are dumb enough to support it.
