I think Romney is an excellent executive and could be a good leader. He identifies issues and gets things accomplished. He's a businessman. But he's also an awful politician. And if he intends to make another run, he'd better come out with a real conservative platform and be able to articulate it.
I don't think he has it in him.
He’s also a big-government oligarch.
Spoiler.
He had his opportunity and fumbled at the one yard line.
I don’t vote for no CULT GROUP member!
RAT Romney RAN Mass into the ground."
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

We need someone who’s able to mobilize conservatives and help on the map. Romney barely cracked 200 electoral votes last time against an incredibly weak incumbent with a cruddy economy.
“I think Romney is an excellent executive and could be a good leader. He identifies issues and gets things accomplished. He’s a businessman.”
Yes, because gun bans, pro-abortion, homosexual marriage, illegal immigration, and higher taxes are SO much better coming from a Republican.
All of which points to him being a scumbag -even as a businessman.
” And if he intends to make another run, he’d better come out with a real conservative platform and be able to articulate it. “
You realize that is akin to asking Obama to articulate a conservative platform?
Neither would be able to as neither hold any conservative values in any way of any kind at all.
Romney articulated his positions just fine.

I think Romney’s entry is the best news us conservatives could hope for!
With both Romney and Bush running... that will split up the GOPe/moderate vote :) leaving the way clear for Cruz to take the nomination easy.

Thread about it there.
If he is going to run, he should run as a democrat.
Best thing about Romney is he splits the Jeb vote
I keep hearing that, but if he was such a worldbeating executive and leader in Massachusetts, why did he leave it in such sorry shape?
And why couldn't he even manage to run his own campaign in 2012?
He's a sock puppet with 1950s hair.
How many times does Romney have to lose to get a clue ?
Has Gruber-gate scuttled Mitt, 2016?

In my opinion, a big government republican would actually be worse than a big government democrat. If we allow Obamacare and the massive Obama deficits to stand during a republican presidency, those disasters will stand for as long as the United States survives, which will not be long.
Romney, another Bush, Rubio, and Christie are completely and totally unacceptable. America’s best hope is electing a small government conservative as president, and even that may not save the country. Our second best hope would at best be extremely ugly - the last time states chose to separate from the Union was almost as destructive as Obamacare. I pray that we can avoid a second civil war.
I never doubted for a second Mitt would run. He thinks he got cheated out of the Presidency in 2012 and he probably did. He is not about to let Jebbie step in and grab the nomination.
