Trump apparently thinks Lake is too much of an attention hog, which, yes, is rich.

I have 100 bucks on he picks Mitt Romney

One of the few Republican senators to vote for conviction during the second impeachment trial? That’s quite the bold prediction, Cotton. Let’s see if it plays out.

Seriously though, what’s the basis for this prediction?

That seems like an absolutely wild prediction to me- what makes you think he'd pick Mitt Romney...?

Here's something I never thought I would say: "Mitt Romney wouldn't stoop that low." But now that I said that, I don't necessarily believe it. What are those stroke symptoms again? Glad I read the previous comments before responding.

I don’t really think he’d pick Mittens but it would be really funny if he did. But he would 1,000% take the job and justify it the same way Mike Penis did. They have no principles or soul. Being “moderate” a strategic choice.
