Shortly after Election Day in 2012, a Mitt Romney supporter moaned to POLITICO about the failed GOP nominees performance: We had no message, and we gave it to the worst communicator in the world.
Two years later, Romney is mulling over another campaign for the White House, and this time, he says, things will be different.
In meetings with and individual calls to donors, supporters and former staffers, Romney is making it clear that he is likely to run, putting his time frame for a decision at weeks, not months.
Romney, who made a fortune in the financial sector and was cast by Democrats in 2012 as a heartless businessman, wants to make tackling poverty a key issue for his 2012 vice presidential running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan one of the three pillars of his campaign. The former Massachusetts governor also says hell have a different communications staff and hopes to show voters a version of himself they didnt get to see last time. (Theres even a Netflix documentary he can point to.)

He may be selling, but we aren’t buying. There is no requirement that the candidate must have millions of dollars and lots of multi-millionaire cronies bankrolling him .hoping to cash in if he’s elected, of course. That should be viewed as a liability, not an asset, after seeing how poisonous this is to good government.
Actually, I think he’s up to revision 350.15.0.1.13
If he got elected, he might very well make Obamacare even worse, we need a repeal.
you may be selling, but i ain’t buying.
I like Mitt.
Really.
I will not vote for Mitt.
Really.
Romney’s 2012 message can be broken down into two parts:
1 - I am not Obama
2 - I look a lot like a President should look
The title says it all. First, you have to "sell" Mitt because he is not an authentic conservative (severe or not). And secondly, "3.0". It is laughable how Mitt must "REFRAME" himself in EVERY SINGLE ELECTION in order to appeal. He is on version 30.0, not 3.0.
Mitty, do us all a favor and shut it down!
LOL!
Muck Fitt Romney.
Romney has more money than Davey Crockett, a wife with a terminal disease, and a scad of grandchildren.
Hint: Hey Mitt, retire and the enjoy life from here on out.
Yep. I greatly underestimated it in post #10.
Maybe even higher considering.
What revision number are the Nvidia drivers up to now?
We’ll go with that.
Nixon ran for a 3rd time after swearing he was done after losing to JFK. Then came LBJ and the tumultuous times of Vietnam and the Great Society with all it’s riots and bombings.
IMHO saying Romney can’t win is whistling past the graveyard. He can most certainly win and he has the bragging rights of being able to say “I told you so” in 2012.
Will he win though, I don’t know. If the GOPe keeps trying to bulldoze and run roughshod over the conservative end of the party they just might split off and run a 3rd party spoiler. (somebody please tell me what that means .. I know it’s another name for Rino but seem to have missed the memo on GOPe)
Mitt IS the spoiler.
“Tanned, Rested and Ready.”
Romney might think he gets to just waltz in at the point he left in his last go-around, but he has a little obstacle to climb over first.
Mitt is going to get HAMMERED in the primaries!!
That should be a wake-up call, if ever there was one.
I ain’t voting for Romney.
He’s just Obama-lite.
