Commentary: Mitt Romney is desperately seeking relevance

With the 116th Congress now sworn in, the debutantes included Alexandria Ocascio-Cortez, D-N.Y., as the youngest member in the House, and Mitt Romney as Utah’s junior Senate senior citizen.

Given Mitt’s 24/7 lust for microphones, Utah voters may have the worst case ever of buyer’s remorse. What astounds me is the attention being showered on this has-been, and when The Washington Post is done with him, he’ll be tossed like a used Kleenex.

The Salt Lake Olympics succeeded following a rescue that never should have had to happen — 17 years ago. Romney governed Massachusetts for a single term — 16 years ago.
