Trump slams Romney: He 'couldn't be elected dog catcher right now in Utah'

[brooklynite]

Source: The Hill

President Trump took a swipe at Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) during a campaign event in Latrobe, Pa., on Thursday, saying the lawmaker “couldn't be elected dog catcher right now in Utah.”

"Utah, the home of our worst senator.. that's Mitt Romney,” Trump told a crowd of mostly maskless supporters. "Romney couldn't be elected dog catcher right now in Utah."

Romney, whose term expires in 2025, won the 2019 primary and general election in Utah by a comfortable margin.

Trump has attacked Romney in the past after the Utah senator voted to convict Trump on one charge during his impeachment trial earlier this year. Romney was the only Republican senator to do so.

1. He's sounding more and more desperate.

Wait until the shit from the Atlantic article hits the fan.

[George II]

5. Yes, that Atlantic article was damning and should lose the votes from ALL members of the military...

....and anyone who served in the military.

The article only broke late this afternoon, I can't wait to see how that plays in the next few days.

[SergeStorms]

20. Deny, deny, deny.....

then "Look, over there! Do you see what those people are doing?" Deny, deny, change the subject, change the subject. It's the same old thing with Trump. He never changes.

2. god of karma...did you catch that?

[msongs]

3. good thing for trump that romney is such a coward eh nt

[jorgevlorgan]

4. Could we win utah if Romney endorsed Biden?

[George II]

6. Yes it would but he's already said that he won't endorse either candidate...

https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/12/politics/mitt-romney-endorsement-2020/index.html

Not endorsing trump is a quasi-endorsement of Biden though.

[bluestarone]

7. Rump might help him change his mind

And his wife will be on tv with Michelle! Might be an Oct. surprise?

[jorgevlorgan]

8. An actual endorsement would be so much better

Not endorsing somebody just seems like a cop out when the moral choice is so obvious.

[George II]

12. Yes it would, but no endorsement is better than endorsing trump. As pointed out above, just today...

....Romney's wife and Michelle Obama announced a joint GOTV effort. That could be seen as a subtle "endorsement" of Biden.

Plus, with all the crap trump has been spewing the last few days, plus the damaging article in The Atlantic w/respect to those who served and died or were maimed in battle, it wouldn't surprise me if he changed his mind. That "no endorsement" proclamation was made a year ago, and a lot has happened since then..

[jorgevlorgan]

15. I suspect he might.

As well as GW. If they both did, I could see Texas and Utah turn firmly in our corner. Still wishful thinking though...

9. Mittzie is likely to survive a Trump-ocalypse

Utah is a red state, Romney has a better reputation for integrity than most R’s these days, and even if (God deliver us from)), Donnie got a second term, his political influence would be circling the bottom of the toilet bowl.

[moose65]

25. I think Romney will survive with no problems

My question is, where are the other Repubican Senators like Romney, who were elected in 2018 and won't have to face voters again until 2024, when Trump will be out of the picture. Trump can't hurt them politically right now, and won't have as much influence in 2024.

Republicans in Utah aren't that fond of Trump, really. The Mormons don't like the womanizing and the gambling and the lying. I doubt that Biden can win Utah, but wouldn't that be delicious??

[Vogon_Glory]

26. Good question. Where is the class of 2018?

My state's junior Senator, Ted Cruz, is in a position to tell Donnie to get stuffed, anoint himself with holy oil, and all too likely waft off to re-election in 2024. But will he?

Nah. Ted is not only running for re-election but also for President in 2024.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. Trump is really feeling the pressure

What a low-level hackneyed attack on Mitts.

Childish, really.

[Stuart G]

11. Thanks for posting....Donald Trump won't ever be elected to anything else. Never, never and never.

..Trump is too stupid to have a clue...says Stu...
Donald Trump will lose every state and then some more....But we will all see in about 60 days. Is that all Trump has to do? Take swipes at political opponents?

Trump is such a "lowlife" that he would never be accepted into the....."Lowlife Association of America" which I am a member of. The membership recently took a vote as to whether or not we would accept Donald Trump into the Association.....and if you have got this far, I would like to "Thank YOU" and make you an honorary member of our ....Lowlife Association......................

As you can see, I have totally lost what was left in my brain...but I am still smarter than Donald Trump...

thank you......and thank you...

[sakabatou]

13. And people think that this makes a good president.

[marble falls]

14. Riiiiight. The word is that Mitt is concidered the man from the white horse prophesy ...

he's going to save the nation and the Constitution. Mormons love Mitt.

[Sophiegirl]

16. He's just jealous

Because Mitt and Ann have a hellavalot more money than him.

I think Ann Romney irks him more because he thinks women are so beneath him. Ann, alone, could buy him a ticket to obscurity and back multiple times. Michelle Obama would be wasting her time attempting to teach him humility. Something she has in abundance and he couldn’t begin to comprehend.

Yet there the two of them are. Hosting a special television event for “Get Out the Vote!”

It is his own personal nightmare.

Women in power......ewwww!

[sandensea]

17. Romney KNOWS the appropriate reaction to these Cheeto broadsides:

If he only would.

[royable]

19. With every accusation that Drumpf makes being projection,

perhaps the headline should read, "Trump slams Himself: I 'couldn't be elected dog catcher right now in Utah'"

21. Watch for a Westmoreland County, PA spike in a few weeks

which is where the airport is that hosted that rally of "maskless supporters".



They reported 14 new cases yesterday.

22. that is one limp looking flag

poor thing has been used as rag for close to 4 years.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. Looks like a fish at the end of a fishing pole

[CaptYossarian]

24. In a related story, they elected dog catchers in the 1950s.

Marty should invite Donald into the DeLorean and get the flux out of that decade..

[Kid Berwyn]

27. The one GOP Senator who put the Constitution ahead of Dumpler.

The complaining says something about the fascist Dumpler’s mindset.
