Are y'all seeing what I'm seeing?
Jun. 7th, 2020 06:29 pmFeel free to call me crazy, but. . .
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) was marching with a large evangelical group in Washington today in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. His criticisms of Trump have grown more pointed over the last few days. He's booking time on the Sunday morning talk shows.
Are we going to see a "Draft Romney" movement at the GOP National Convention (wherever it lands)? Think about it. Romney is a Senator, has served as a Governor, has the gravitas that Trump lacks, and is an appealing candidate to the Republicans who either never signed on the Trump cray train or have grown to realize they made a horrid mistake but can't vote for VP Biden.
The Beauty of it is Romney doesn't even need an organized campaign at this point. If this is happening, he's going to rely upon a grass-roots movement that appeals to Reagan voters. The "morning in America" crowd that wants the chaos to stop and return to normalcy.
Like I said, call me crazy, but I think Romney is going to war for the soul of the Republican Party, and in doing so, he might rip away enough voters to make for a contested convention.
