I am officially inviting Senator Mitt Romney to join the Democratic Party.

[TeamPooka]

We are where a man like you needs to be Mitt.
You can sit with Joe Manchin. it'll be fun.
Please accept our cordial invitation.
I await your reply sir.

6. Joe Manchin is a lifelong Catholic, who used to have an abortion problem.

In the last few years, even in speeches at home in West Virginia, he has admitted that it isn't his place to force his religious beliefs on others.

[Demsrule86]

22. We have a Democratic Senator in PA who is pro-life Sen. Casey.

[Irish_Dem]

2. He wants to run in 2024? Make a comeback.

He showed leadership today.

[TeamPooka]

5. That GOP base would never accept him. He ran for senate to go out a statesman

[Irish_Dem]

7. I would have agreed yesterday. But the GOP may be changing a great deal in the next 4 yrs.

I hope the base takes a big hit.

[TeamPooka]

18. Hence my invitation to join us

[Irish_Dem]

19. Right. That is an option for him.

[MoonchildCA]

3. If corporations are people, does that mean republicans can be democrats?

[JonLP24]

4. I don't expect it

But criticizing Trump is a very low bar. Democrats also criticize Trump plus they push better policies. Romney could be running against Biden in 4 years.

8. I was pleased to hear his statements tonight

and have some respect for him as a result.

[frazzled]

9. Look, he deserves to be lauded for his speech and

his general integrity these past few years. I wouldn’t ever vote for him, but I remember thinking back in 2012, that if he should beat Obama (thank heavens he didn’t), I could live with him as president.

[mtnsnake]

13. Well said. nt

[TexasBushwhacker]

23. I felt the same way

I would have been able to sleep at night.

[Pantagruel]

10. Consider

while civil , he's an ideologue owned by the Mormons.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Harry Reid is a Mormon.

[pecosbob]

11. Nice thought, but no...vulture capitalists are most definitely not welcome

[Maru Kitteh]

14. My first thought?

You must be a man.

[msongs]

15. yeah he can primary kamala harris then eh? nt

[Hortensis]

16. Uh-uh! Mitt Romney serves God. Not just before the constitution,

and not just before the people.

He serves what he believes is God's will for His kingdom on earth. And believe me, his god's brand of extreme theocratic authoritarianism is nothing any of us would choose to have imposed.

It doesn't matter that without a real god's help Romney would fail in most aims, any successes are unacceptable -- like more religious fundamentalists on SCOTUS. I don't even like him in the authoritarian Republican Party, whose leadership these days is swarming with conservative religious extremists.

Btw, the media really need to stop treating religious beliefs as if elections were afternoon teas and discussion of religion in bad taste.

[mtnsnake]

17. On one hand that would be nice, but on the other, we need Romney to stay where he is so he can

continue with his efforts to try and talk sense into his fellow republicans.

[TeamPooka]

25. yeah, thatll work

[BainsBane]

20. He's conservative

not a centrist. Not happening.

[TeamPooka]

21. I said he could sit with Joe Manchin. Theyll have fun together

[herding cats]

24. No.

The GOP needs more conservatives like him, though. They've definitely lost their way badly.
