Romney Won't Run Again

Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) has announced he will not run for another term. His present term ends in January of 2025. 

Romney has been an unabashed member of the GOPe group typified by George W. Bush, Karl Rove, Paul Ryan, Mike Pence and, more often than not, Mitch McConnell. As a Republican who got elected governor of true blue Massachusetts, you know he was a squish.

As such Romney is seriously out of step with the current, populist GOP ideology espoused by most of those currently running for the GOP presidential nomination. Atypically, he indicated to a reporter that he supported the House should-we-impeach investigation of Biden family corruption.

I daresay he views his 2012 nomination to run for president as his career high point, even though he lost to Obama . I would tend to view his management of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics as his finest hour. He appears to have done a genuinely good job of managing it.
