What worries me is I have a friend who has heard that Mitt Romney might be planning a last-minute run. (Friend has some connections – don't know how are where, as friend is a die-hard Democrat, but he's reliable.) If this is true, I would hope that it would hurt Trump, but I worry it would also hurt Biden. Not the kind of three-way we like to see.

His poor response to the pandemic speaks for itself. He made his bed now lay in it, f*cker.

Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years.

TBH, I'd take Romey over Trump, take Harris over Romney, take Biden over Trump, and take Warren over any of them--but Biden = Romney (without running mates)

"A Republican strategist close to Mitch McConnell told me that Republicans have Labor Day penciled in as the deadline for Trump to have turned things around. After that, he’s on his own."

What does that even mean? The Repubs are going to stop supporting Trump and start speaking out against him on Labor day if his polling numbers don't magically fix themselves? That... doesn't seem plausible. Guess it's just more completely baseless lip service with 0 action behind it :shrug:

Could be an attempt to save the Senate if they think the WH is lost anyways. The last thing Republicans want is to lose the House, White House, and Senate because Democrats will quickly reverse what Trump has done the last 4 years.

It isn’t surprising he talked to Tucker, it makes sense actually. Tucker has been on full campaign mode for Trump these past couple of weeks. TheIt ship is sinking fast and the Biden campaign isn’t even doing much.

Why would Biden do anything if 2020 is destroying Trump's reelection chances by itself and anything Biden says is a gamble. Especially with his tendency to fumble his words.

@Franch Toast, so I've been playing with the numbers. There's no way Romney would win as an independent. Not in a million years. 

BUT, he could easily prevent either Biden or Trump from getting an electoral win. If Trump wins all the states he won in 2016, but loses Ohio, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona and Utah to Romney (the mormon states); and Biden wins the remaining states, we end up with this map:

Since its a tie (no one has a 270 majority)--the House of Congress (the new one, sworn in Jan 3, 2020) will chose the President. Romney could easily rally both sides to get the 26 votes he needs to to win--via promises of bipartisanship and a Democrat VP i.e.

I mean, who knows if any of this is true, but according to what my friend claims, he'd try to get Trump to drop out before the election, so I guess it really would come down to Biden vs Romney. Here's a paraphrase of my friend's claims (don't want to outright quote him verbatim):

He said a friend of his who works on Capitol Hill told him there's a rumor that  Romney will split from the Republican Party, at least temporarily, and make a public challenge against Trump for the nomination to the presidency. The source said that there will be nothing like it since RFK in 1968. If this does happen (and it's only an "if" – Romney is apparently throwing out feelers), apparently it will happen within the next month, since Trump is considered vulnerable right now. Romney supposedly is talking privately to certain Republicans about the idea of putting together a series of public speeches to be delivered on television that tear into Trump, Trump's presidency, and his administration, including: an attack on his foreign policy; an excoriation of his handling of the pandemic; reaching out to African Americans on the issue of police brutality and the forfeiture of responsibility of the Republican Party over the disenfranchisement of people of color; a similar overture to immigrants; and a bid to Christian conservatives that argues that Trump is morally bankrupt.

He's rumored to be tapping into the support of the Republicans Against Trump and other groups who have some money, but most importantly, they have a wealth of talent in terms of political media pros and pundits. If he can win over these people, he will then make a pitch to Wall Street. 

The plan is to carry this out in such an obvious manner that Trump gives up and withdraws from the campaign, paving the way for Romney to take over the nomination.

Again, this is only a rumor, and even if Romney is mulling this over, it doesn't mean he'll actually do it.

in my mind, i think romney running as an independent would hurt trump more. but in this political day and age and with joe biden being such a weak candidate, you never know
