Washington Post has just published an op-ed from Senator-elect Mitt Romney:

"The president shapes the public character of the nation. Trump’s character falls short."

So he wants to be an independent critic of Trump in the Senate like McCain or Flake, but like Kasich, is he considering one step further? He may feel he has a duty to primary Trump.

Romney like all other elected Republicans are cowards. No one will primary Trump. They are too scared of their racist base.

Biden may run, but he's not going get anywhere near the nomination. In fact, I bet he doesn't do any better than he did in 2008.

Romney is complete a joke, he courted Trump's endorsement at the height of the Birther movement and he kissed the ring for a job as Secretary of State after Trump won in 2016. He will vote with Trump over 80% of the time over the next 2 years while pretending to be morally superior.

If he thinks he can run against Trump by calling him "racist, sexist and anti-immigrant" in a Republican primary, he has another thing coming.

Really? This is the worst statement I've heard in this election cycle except someone calling me a Pro-Choice Republican. He's the most likely Democratic Nominee right now. That's a fact.

Predicting that the name recognition polling leader will not come close to the nomination is a completely sane prediction, and I for one applaud NewYorkExpress on his most reality tinged prediction ever posted on the forum. So soon we forget the forgotten tales of Scott Walker and Jeb Bush. Even without Trump, these two were pretty big longshots. My impression from speaking to Democrats is that no one actually expects Biden to do well because he's too goofy and has a lot of potential pitfalls.

Coming from someone who supports Biden over just about the entire field.

Klobuchar says she’s “getting close to a decision”, and that if she runs, her campaign HQ will be in Minnesota:

After these hires and the rumored Harris/Gillibrand/Booker ones, candidates who declare late are going to have a hell of a time finding reputable, big-named staff.

I expect February to be a really interesting month.

I really hope Romney runs.  Unlike someone like Kasich, Romney is a pretty standard conservative, and could help get the GOP back on a Reaganite path.  I'd likely vote for him in the 2020 primaries.

It's typical to America and American politics nowadays and for a few dozen years back. You can be a god one day, you can have the large and intrusive media hype, you can have the crowds on meetings and campaign trails, but just another day you can have ex. reports of affair with young staffer from your office from the same guys who yesterday pumped your ex. presidential chances, and people will start to hate you for no reason and they will don't recall now how they cheered for you at ex. your rallies. It's all fluid and cyclical. You did your time well, but now we kindly want you to get off the stage. We want some fresh blood, new spur, and you don't count to that list.

Such great presidents like FDR left no real legacy in minds of most Americans, because they simply forgot about him when he died and Harry Truman became his successor, and they forgot about Truman when Eisenhower take office and so on. Bernie Sanders is not coming out of ordinary posted by me above. The same will happen to peoples like Beto, Warren or Trump, trust me. They all have their time set by American public life, and when it will expire, not one of former ex. Beto's followers will even bother about that. He or she would be worshipping another idol, whose star will fade just like it did before. And it would come full circle.

Kamala Harris is rumored to possibly announce her campaign on January 9th, at a speaking event at George Washington University about her new book.
