I’m wondering if Romney is really serious about running, or if he’s just there to thwart Jeb? I know that sounds a bit kooky, but when Fred Thompson ran in 2008, there was a lot of talk that he was doing so to peel potential Huckabee supporters off in order to help McCain get the nomination.
Either way, I don’t want Romney as a candidate. I voted for him in 2008, because I knew what another 4 years of Obama was going to bring. But we conservatives have so many good options out there for 2016. We don’t have to settle for Romney, and we shouldn’t settle for Romney.
Romney doesn’t want to run in order to thwart Jeb Bush....
Romney wants to run in order to thwart Ted Cruz.
Romney doesn’t believe Jebbie can win the primaries, so Romney wants to jump in the race in order to (try) to prevent Ted Cruz from getting the nomination (this is what Romney thinks, anyway).
Romney had his chance. He should have used his vast wealth to run ads in the summer of 2012, instead of waiting for the GOP’s money after the late summer convention. Obama had plenty of time to define Romney.
Obamacare needed to be hammered over the heads of the dems, but with the father of Romneycare heading the ticket, that was not going to happen.
Romney ran in 2008 ?
