All these bladishments, and for some reason I still don't like the guy. Maybe it's the vulture capitalism, maybe it's his policy positions, maybe it's his smug face. Who can say?
What will make Romney's Rundown age like a fine wine will be the way he votes for everything Trump proposes while making lots of noise about how he simply deplores policy X but has no power at all to do anything other than vote for policy X.
And the press will eat that up with a spoon. Romney's inability to vote against Trump will be seen as proof of Romney's strength, resolve, and character. On this foundation will be built Romney's Rehab for his 2020 presidential run. At last! A Republican Daddy with the strength and fortitude to stand up to the wingnut side of the party by folding like a cheap lawn-chair whenever the wingnut side of the party says "Boo!"
I'm waiting for Romney to claim that his paltry $250 million net worth and moderate $100 million IRA make him middle-class. Given time, he'll forget how many houses he owns. At some point, he'll cast a very public vote in meaningless opposition to some innocuous Trump proposal, and the press will call him a "maverick," which will make him even more of a fixture on the Sunday elite talk shows.
He's got a very big Senator From A Western State Who Once Ran For President vacuum to fill, and damn it, Mitt's the man to do it.

And don't forget, I love dogs. All dogs. Well, 47 percent of them.

Also, too: Romney's op-ed could be the prelude to, as Charlie Pierce put it, "I'm Mitt Romney, bitches! And I'm all you've got."

Mitt rhymes with what type of President he'd make.
I'm still not sure that Romney didn't actually write this.
Sorry Roy, I fell back asleep half-way through.
