Although he has shown some signs of resistance, I wouldn't put him down as a #NotMyPresident just yet. We saw that he was more than willing to placate to Trump when he thought Secretary of State was on the table. I think at the end of the day he will probably do whatever is best for him, even if that means aligning with Trump & Co.

Trump endorsed him today and Mitt lapped it up.

Mitt Romney is finally going to Washington.

And Romney is going there on a mission: to bring “Utah’s values” to the nation’s capital, he explained in a video last Friday kicking off his campaign to replace the retiring Orrin Hatch in the U.S. Senate.

So Mitt wants high rates of depression, opiate abuse, misogyny, abused women being encouraged to put up with abuse for eternity, homophobia and teen suicide across the nation? Good luck running on that ticket.

On the bright side, his wife is quite a MILF.

If he wins, we get to see her for 4+ years. All those naughty Mormon MILF fantasies I'll have!
