Should Mitt Romney run for the U.S. Senate? By all means. Indeed, Sen. Orrin Hatch should step aside. The Old Souls in the House and Senate will be taking a beating this coming year and Judge Roy Moore, newly nominated gunslinger from Alabama, will lead the charge. Possibly on horseback.
For with the rise of Donald Trump to the Oval Office, America has entered a new age of Andrew Jackson. Trump has even placed a portrait of Jackson in the Oval Office to boldly indicate the dramatic shift in paradigm. But it was a long time in coming.
I’d written back in 2011 that the rise of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to national politics was the first suggestion that we were entering a new Jacksonian period. It was Jackson, I claimed, who “put the fire in the belly of the heartland; a fire felt in the red states today and a fire that potentially will never go out.”
The rise of the new Jacksonian rebels intent on clearing “the swamp” brings perhaps a much needed transition in our ongoing American experience; a changing of the guard and a new approach to governance, moving toward decentralization. Maybe it is time.
But there are increasing dangers and instabilities as well and Romney could bring moderation and a bridge between rising political generations and those receding. As governor of Massachusetts, he was first to use the phrase “one size does not fit all” which has become the mantra for Jeffersonian approaches to states rights, decentralization, sound money and constitutional government, all themes favored in the first days of the rebellious Tea Party.
And anyway, Romney is not just considering running for Senate in 2018. He must be considering running for president in 2020. For Romney, more than any other, is the anti-Trump....

That’ll work.
Remember how evil and horrible Romney was back when he was actually running for president? His evil binder full of women, torturing his dog on top of his car, etc. Now he’s a swell guy.
I wish Xi Jinping would sign his work.
>>Someone actually wrote this down and published it?<<
Might as well run frederica wilson as a Republican. Other than the cowboy hat and how they look under bright lights you could not tell him from her.
That would get the Mormons tossed out of the GOP.
Old Willard running as fast as he can in his wheelchair...
what a sight to see.....
White Horse lives!
There are still some RINO masochists out there
Willard is far too much of a gentleman to actually try to win.
The Cheap Labor Express is desperate.
Yes.
Romney would remain a swell guy in the eyes of the media right up until the day after the Republican nomination if (by some miracle) Romney were the Republican nominee for 2020. On that day, Romney would cease to be a swell guy and he would instead by Hitler.
So the writer's plan is to replace them with some youth and vitality by way of the.....71 year old Mitt Romney?
He was also a racist and Hitler too.
Just like George W. Bush, and Juan McCain.
But they are all cool dudes now...
Romney’s surrendering debates after the first one was remarkable.
Swamp swimmer.
As responsible Republicans, we must run someone who will lose to the Democrat in 2020!
Man oh man, the deep state really hates trump.
More winning.
Why? Because he’s Mormon and they have some sort of revelation about running the country? That will be a guaranteed loss…again.
