Mitt Romney, Run for President [NeverTrump]
National Review ^ | May 24, 2016 | David French

Posted on 05/25/2016 5:11:48 AM PDT by C19fan

Let’s be clear about our nation’s plight: At this moment, American voters face a choice between two historically corrupt, dishonest, and incompetent politicians. One of them helped create the most dangerous foreign-policy environment since the Cold War, a world in which our nation faces the largest and most savage jihadist fighting force in modern times, a re-arming and potentially nuclear Iran, and the re-emergence of threats from Russia and China. The other would respond to that crisis with a collection of announced policies that range from the insane (intentionally killing women and children to punish terrorists, sending Exxon to pacify the Middle East, blocking even our Kurdish allies from entering the United States) to the reckless (ending the NATO alliance that has been the foundation of Western security for nearly 70 years).

NeverTrump article of the day from National Review. French ran an organization called Evangelicals for Romney during the last election cycle.

To quote myself, “If Mitt Romney is the answer, it must be a really boring question.”

I admire Mr. French and generally enjoy his articles, but he’s gone loo-loo. I hope he gets better soon.

Mitt Romney 2016 - because it’s much better for Hillary to win than Trump.

Romney prefers Obama to Trump. Ergo, National Review prefers Obama to Trump. Wrap you head around that one.

These people have crossed the line from being just opponents to now being traitors!

Gee, one begins to get the feeling that over at National Review they just don’t like The Donald.

I had hoped after VDH’s article a couple of days ago that the ladies at National Review were getting over their butthurt...

The comments, even on the National Review site, are not supportive of this lunacy. Even they know Romney is a has-been loser.

I don't know. If Romney likes Trump, that's good enough for me.

Go Trump!

Harry Truman famously said “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!”

Mitt Romney’s one of those guys who, once the battle started getting fierce, would excuse himself and retire to a Safe Zone with his Near Beer.

At this moment, American voters face a choice

Wrong, the American voters made a choice, and they chose Trump, despite Mr. French and his globalist ilk. Now these frauds have made a choice to help Hillary while pretending they are offering some kind of alternative so as not to completely discredit themselves as conservatives by admitting they actually prefer Hillary. FUNR!

Yawn...these idiots at the National Review and the rest of the #NeverTrump movement are just blowing smoke. The Trump rise demonstrated just how impotent and irrelevant this group really is. They are trying anything to salvage the few drops of relevance they have left. The problem is, you don't just wave a magic wand and run for president, (which is why Mitt Romney, despite all his flaws, is smart enough to refuse every time he's pushed to run). It would be virtually impossible to raise the funds and get enough signatures to get on the ballot even if there WAS a large grassroots call for a #NeverTrump candidate (which there isn't). A Mitt Romney or any other #NeverTrump presidential run is simply not going to happen....

‘At this moment, American voters face a choice between two historically corrupt, dishonest, and incompetent politicians.’

This is incorrect. Only 1 is a pol the other is a businessman with no political track record.

They know that, which means they really want Hillary over Trump. But if the come out and say it they know their game is up.
