Our last 3 failed nominees
2012 Romney, would have been the 4th oldest President, 1 day older than James Buchanan when he took office
2008, McCain, would have been the oldest
1996, Dole, would have been the oldest.
In 2017 Romney would be the 2nd oldest, a month or so younger than Reagan, he’s 7-8 months older than the ancient Hillary Clinton, the idea that rats could nominate Hillary and she’d be the younger candidate is just ridiculous.
Romney would also be following the path of Tom Dewey, 1940, lost the nomination, 1944, lost the GE, ran again in 1948, lost the GE again.
Romney should be put out to pasture, or possibly sent to the glue factory.
See how many issues you can hallucinate POS Romney as being meaningfully different from or better than Obozo or Hillary. Romney was in the tank and he is thinking about getting in the tank again. If the RNC and GOP ruling class think that conservatives will panic into making the spoiled little rich brats wealthier by giving them OUR government, think again. Two Demonrat regimes and counting. How many before you guys surrender. And DON'T tell me how you you would prefer a better candidate. Vote for Romney and you get Obozo. Vote for another GOP candidate but determine to vote Romney when he is nominated and you get Obozo or Hillary or Fauxcahontas. It makes NO DIFFERENCE.
There’s time for a worthy dark horse to emerge and gain speed. But we have to stop being nattering nabobs of negativism, and play the hand we’re dealt.
I refuse to participate in your “Psycho-drama.”
Do you remember how the polls had Romney winning in 2012? What happened? So now your argument is based on Romney leading in polls in a contest that is constitutionally prohibited and you are challenging the intelligence of conservatives like Ansel12 on a conservative website where you obviously do not fit in your spineless militant moderation or worse?
You’re saying that your point is that conservatives should sit down, shut up and surrender to the GOPe minions who want to force Romney down our throats?
You’ve gone from one bit of pretzel logic to another. You really are sounding like a hired hand/rent boy.
No, I keep soliciting input as to what strategy and tactics would move a Cruz candidacy from the realm of fantasy into that of reality and winning, but all I continually get is mockery and flippancy here. Major publications and pundits are weighing in with analysis of the Romney rebound, but noticeably absent is anything like it arguing as to how Cruz or someone of his chatacter could gain the broad support to win. What’s wrong with assessing political reality?
This is the most wide open GOP race since 1940, which was also the last time a dark horse won the nomination, Wilkie.
That alone is slightly encouraging. And if a democrat can reinvent himself to become Ronald Reagan, we musn’t sink into the abyss of calcified, belligerent negativity about ANYONE—that is a form of corruption in itself.
Glad to see you are happy with Obama.
As I said on another thread — you might as well make a bumper sticker “ Conservatives for Hillary”.
When the GOP chooses POS Romney, it chooses to lose and it did. Very simple, really.
Too many freepers are hostile to deliberative truth. Here’s something I wrote last year, in support of Ted Cruz: http://clashdaily.com/2013/11/ahem-obama-cure/#LjClI7wC2qO4PVwa.99
Here’s another of my pro-Cruz columns: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3017147/posts
I’m not surprised you have been repeatedly zotted. How long before next time?
Ahhh, you and IChing going to the prom together and each keeping room on your dance cards for Mittens. How sweet! NOT.
Any predictions on Hillary's nominees?
"...there is genuine curiosity in the body politic [among the RINOs and establishment/elite] about his prospects, given how right he is being shown to have been [given they found the one single thing Romney disagreed with Obama on that turns out correct. Never mind that Palin was right in her prediction about Russia and the Ukraine and correctly disagreed with Obama about everything else including Obamacare which understandably, Mitt would never touch. We've got to manipulate this fortuitous occurrence into something that will allow us to ram Romney down conservative throats again], and recent polling [given Obama's poor polling numbers].
"One writer [One of Mitt's bought and paid for rent a writers] observed that Americans do love a comeback story [came up with this great attempt at manipulation -- America loves a story about the underdog hard worker who just misses out but tries again and makes it based on hard work, dedication and integrity. We know Mitt didn't even try to work at getting elected last time, says his wife is the only one who wanted him to run, and has no integrity whatsoever to speak of, but we'll just keep pretending this story fits and will repeatedly tell everyone that is the case. Maybe they'll forget the truth and believe us.]
any on here ever get a payoff on politics ?
He reminds me of the drunken blowhard you find at a cocktail party. The pompous idiot who’s got all the answers and won’t shut up.
We've already figured out what you are. You’re a troll retread, and since you refuse to divulge your multiple previous Freeper handles, you're a coward.
