I don’t know who the author of this piece is but he certainly seems to have Romney nailed. It’s exactly what a power-hungry snake would do. Accept the support of the president and promise to support him while running. And then stab him in the back for one reason;
Planning to run for president in 2020.
What else makes sense.
The essential part of his strategy is to fill the anti-Trump void left by Republicans Bob Corker and Jeff Flake, who are both gone. Romney could not help but observe that nobody even knew who these guys were until they began attacking Trump. Suddenly they were on the news every night, on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, and Sesame Street (just kidding about that last one).
Their public and biting criticism of a Republican president was like irresistible click-bait to news outlets which hated Trump and were only too happy to have Republicans spew their anti-Trump vitriol for them. They were in demand everywhere.
And sure enough, as I am writing this column this morning, the day after Romney's broadside, there's Romney being interviewed by everybody on Capitol Hill. So his strategy is working already. Romney looked exhilarated.
