Mitt Romney was never suited to be POTUS
The former Republican presidential candidate returned from a mideast tour, and says he can only see the 2-state "solution" as the way to go:
Sen. Mitt Romney returned from a Middle East tour saying that he saw no alternative to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict other than the two-state solution.He's viewing this from a now debunked perspective, insulting Israelis by implying they don't have big enough families, and believes there's as many Arabs as Jews in the population. More tellingly, he apparently got all his fill from Muslim propagandists. That's saying something about this disgrace of a man. It's regrettable he had to be the GOP candidate in 2012. His kind of dishonest approach and inability to determine whether the Islamists were telling him lies only ensured Obama would be reelected.
The Utah Republican, his party’s 2012 presidential nominee, has just assumed the chairmanship of the Middle East subcommittee in the Senate. Romney’s conclusion could put him at odds with the Israeli government, which now says that the two-state solution is all but moribund, and with the Trump administration, which has retreated from US policy endorsing a two-state outcome.
“I would say I don’t know what the alternative is other than a two-state solution,” Romney said Tuesday in his first meeting with reporters since returning from the region last week. “No one articulated to us anywhere in the region an idea or a proposal for something other than a two-state solution.”
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., the ranking member on the subcommittee, traveled with Romney and sat at his side during the briefing in the Capitol. He nodded in agreement, saying “right.”
Their bipartisan unity on the issue could foreshadow tensions between the Trump administration and Congress should its long-awaited Israeli-Palestinian peace proposal count out a two-state solution. Drafters of the plan, including Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, have been at pains to avoid using the term “two-state solution,” although when challenged they have said they have not discarded it. Kushner has said the plan will be released in June.
Romney went on to describe leaders he and Murphy met in the Palestinian areas and Jordan.
“They described what would occur if there were not a two-state solution, and that would be an Israel — or a one state — an Israel where you have 6.6 million Palestinians and 6.6 million Jews and the Palestinians have larger families than the Jews, and so over time it would become predominantly Palestinian,” he said. “That would not seem to be something which the Israelis were looking for and something which the Palestinians felt was unlikely to be the outcome that would be satisfying to the Israeli government.”
