Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan hold summit to find alternative to Trump

2023-10-12

[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."

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

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

#2 Mitt should just go back to his position in the Mormon Church and leave the rest of the nation alone.
