WASHINGTON – Mitt Romney was so keen to keep Donald Trump from becoming president in 2016 that he thought about forming an anti-Trump ticket with Sen. Ted Cruz, even though
While CNN's Soledad O'Brien tossed softballs at Democratic Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, she was not so kind to her Republican guest during the next hour, on Thursday's Starting Point. O'Brien reported poor poll numbers for both the Romney and Obama campaigns, but went after only the Romney campaign's economic message in detail. O'Brien teed up the Democratic mayor to respond to Romney hitting Obama for wanting more public sector workers. But she posed the same question of Romney advisor Jim Talent, putting him on the defensive, rather than bringing up, say, President Obama's remark that the private sector is "doing just fine," a statement he later retracted.
In “Romney: A Reckoning” by McKay Coppins, the senator describes his many attempts to save America from the Trump presidency, including forming unity tickets with Ted Cruz in 2016 and Oprah Winfrey in 2020. Too bad none of these efforts worked.
