1. Numbers and ratings are all that matter to him. Can't imagine others having principles.

He has none.

[Hugin]

2. and he's wearing a mask.

Romney is notably not at the head of the parade of protesters.

I used to think he was purely an opportunist, but, I'm reconsidering that simplistic view.

It's also possible there's some sincere Comey-esque Boy Scout in there too.

But, we'll see.

All politicians are opportunistic, just are they in a good way or a bad way.

Romney is playing the long game in Dec you will see the Republican Party initiate a very uncivil/blame civil war.

Romney is positioning himself to lead the "return to the old guard" movement.

In the back of his mind he is also thinking that Dems might over play their hand (e.g. eliminating police departments) and he could be viable in 2024.

15. You are headed in the right direction.

Trump can wail all he wants,but,the die is cast,Romney is Utah's anointed one. And Temple Square is also playing the long game.

16. I think Romney is also trying to position himself to be the savior should Trump completely implode

(by Republican standards) and needs to replaced as the candidate before November.

Mitttens will be there to ride in and save the day.

19. Repugs will never again win the presidency without

a significant improvement among black and Hispanic voters. rMoney is jockeying for position.

[bbernardini]

3. That took longer than I thought. nt

[Gothmog]

4. That is a weak attack

Utah hates trump. This will not hurt Romney

[Mike 03]

5. It seems like Trump is even losing conviction in his own attacks.

Trump's tweet is lackluster, exhausted, misses the point, and is self-pitying.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Trump's turned on everything else, why not himself last?

No more targets remaining.

[dflprincess]

17. Most of Trump's tweets are self pitying. nt

[Cha]

6. BLOTUS wishing Mitt's #s would Tank in Utah.. like

BLOTUS' are in the USA.

BLOTUS sounds jealous of Mitt!

[edhopper]

8. His numbers are better

with Democrats in Utah than Repukes.

Shows how strong the Trump cult has become.

[roamer65]

9. Doesn't matter if Mitt has an R or D next to his name in UT.

They like him in UT and will vote for him either way.

[lame54]

10. Mitt will do well with this

[samsingh]

11. come on Romney - caucus with the Dems.

[NewJeffCT]

13. the guy with the orange spray tan

fake wealth and 20,000 or so documented lies should not be mentioning sincerity.

[djacq]

14. Further Proof Trump on Wrong Side of History.

18. As usual, Trump's full of it. Romney's approval in Utah +14 in May 2020

Trump attacking Romney's numbers will bring attention to other GOPers that they could improve their fortunes by going after Trump ...
