Mitt Romney considered ‘unity ticket’ with ‘scary’ Ted Cruz in bid to stop Trump: new book – By Sky Palma (Raw Story) / Oct 18, 2023
While considering a third presidential bid in 2016, Mitt Romney sought to form a unity ticket with Ted Cruz in what he called a “desperate” attempt to stop Donald Trump, according to a biography.
“Romney was willing to wage a quixotic and humiliating presidential bid if that’s what it took,” McKay Coppins wrote in Romney: A Reckoning, of which an excerpt was shared by The Guardian Wednesday.
“He might even be able to swallow sharing a ticket with Cruz, a man he’d described as ‘scary’ and ‘a demagogue’ in his journal. But Romney didn’t think the gambit would actually succeed in taking down Trump. The problem was that no one else in the party seemed to know what to do about Trump, either,” Coppins wrote.
