Romney is viewed by many as an aristocrat. If he were on the ticket, I'd still vote for that ticket over a Trump ticket or Biden ticket. However, the chances of he and his counterpart winning would be certainly reduced.

There are more likable pols than Romney available for a centrist ticket, I suspect. Sinema would arguably be a decent choice.
I don't think Romney has a prayer, teamed up with Manchin, or anyone else. Nobody wants to return to the days of hearing statements like "A weak dollar is good for the economy"

On the other hand a weak dollar means more people abroad can afford our stuff. That's why china has been so successful the last 40 years... their currency is low even if that fact is artificially propped up by them.

My personal favorite remains him saying something about how the trees in Michigan are "just the right height."

Biden's done a pretty good job of making our currency worth less. It's called inflation.

Biden is an inflation denier, he claimed for years it was "transitory" and did nothing to stop it.

So that that dollar item, that went up to $1.95, is back to a dollar?

Of course not… your coke isn’t a nickel either. But nowhere was there 95% inflation. Your dollar item would be about $1.20 now.

The year over year rate of inflation is back down . Actual deflation is bad.
