Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan hold summit to find alternative to Trump
[Hot Air] Senator Mitt Romney
...that’s soon-to-be former Senator Romney, to be precise...
and former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan are holding a two-day summit that began Tuesday. It is described as a "closed-door" summit in Park City, Utah.
As long as it's neither one of them, who cares.
The Republican presidential ticket from 2012, who lost an election that should have been winnable, brought together four current presidential candidates. The four are Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, Chris Christie, and Doug Burgum.

This is an 11-year-old summit called the E2 Summit. It focuses on foreign policy, tech, and finance/business. Those attending the summit are "well-heeled, well-wired Republicans" who want to find an alternative to Trump and fund that candidate.

The "maestro" behind the summit is Spencer Zwick. He said the attendees are from the Romney/Ryan network who "don’t just accept that Donald Trump is the nominee. That’s not in their DNA," Zwick said. "They’re genuinely interested in a candidate they can get excited about and get behind."

#3 Solamere Capital is a $2 billion multi-strategy private equity investment firm founded in 2008 by Tagg Romney, Eric Scheuermann, and Spencer Zwick, and in partnership with Mitt Romney (who stepped down in 2019 to join the U.S. Senate).

#7 Having choices and alternatives is good. If they can find someone trumpier than Trump, that is great! I would totally vote for him.

#9 Ah, the "Nobody cares but the MSM" conference in full swing. Closed door, so they can syncronize any dirty tricks.
