WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Democratic Party was left scrambling for a replacement today, as long-time faithful Senator Mitt Romney of Utah announced he would not be seeking re-election.
“This is a huge blow for the Democratic Party,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. “Romney has been one of our most reliable senators. He will be sorely missed.”
Democrats have immediately begun searching for a replacement candidate, concerned that conservatives in Utah could flip the seat Republican. “Romney being able to carry Utah for the Democrats was an unbelievable windfall for the party,” said analyst Chuck Todd. “It will be incredibly difficult to find another candidate who can win in such a deep red state while completely and utterly turning his back on the Republican party. It’s like finding a unicorn.”
Go here to read the rest. We got Trump in 2016 because 2012 indicated that the Republican establishment was quite willing to lose with Mitt Romneys forever, and that their opposition to the Democrats amounted to little more than Kabuki Theater.
