Complete Headline: The Romney Statement: Not Running. Ive decided it is best to give other leaders in the Party the opportunity to become our next nominee.
Ive been emailed this text of remarks Mitt Romney will be making to his supporters shortly:
Let me begin by letting you know who else is on this call, besides Ann and me. There are a large number of people who signed on to be leaders of our 2016 finance effort. In addition, state political leadership from several of the early primary states are on the line. And here in New York City, and on the phone, are people who have been helping me think through how to build a new team, as well as supporters from the past who have all been kind enough to volunteer their time during this deliberation stage. Welcome, and thank you. Your loyalty and friendship, and your desire to see the country with new, competent and conservative leadership warms my heart.
After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, Ive decided it is best to give other leaders in the Party the opportunity to become our next nominee.

Now, all the crony capital money and Rino votes belong to you-know-who!
Translation: Wife and donors said no.
Yeah wife definitely said no.
“Not Running ...”
Same as 2012
The RINO party said he wasn’t RINO enough, they want Jeb or Marco Rubio.
I think this played into his decision:
“I’ve got great respect for Gov. Romney, and I busted my buns for him,” said Chicago investor Craig Duchossois, but I have turned the page.”
Romney also lost one of his most trusted political advisers on Thursday when David Kochel joined Bush’s team.
If they are stupid enough to nominate Jeb Bush, right there they should concede the election because there is not a chance in hell that moron is going to win which is probably their whole intention in the first place and it’s going to be either President Clinton or President Warren which would be like nuking the Titanic as it’s sinking as far as this country is concerned.
Yay! One numbskull down... a boatload to go!
I have a feeling I’ll be voting for someone I don’t like this year as well but at least it won’t be this guy!
well the oldest looser Romney boy will be 35 this year..
Is Willard going to run lil Taggart (weird name) next year instead ???
Theres still that hope from Big Granddad George Romney the guv about the white horse prophecy..
George thought it was himself and if not he then the shining golden headed sonny boy Willard..
and if not Willard...well theres 5 grandsons..
and now that Willard has moved back to the old country of Deseret, one of the boys can run opposite Mike Lee for US Senate, or for POTUS..
after all just like the Kennedys and the Bushes, politics is the Romney family business..
Yeah, the guy who thinks gay marriage is a conservative principle.
Give Trump some credit. He’s a lot like Newt Gingrich in his own way. Romney choked, his time is past. He might have been better than Regan in a lot of ways but it didn’t happen.
I wish that Ted would announce his candidacy tomorrow.
I guess this is what the little pow-wow in Utah was all about ...
I’m pretty certain he lost the advisor because he wasn’t running. The decision was probably made last week when Bush and Romney had their meeting.
Let them all cut their teeth in local and state politics, then we can properly evaluate.
Why is it, every time I see Jeb Bush’s face I think of Ned Beatty?
third party candidates favor the democrats. Clinton won because the third party candidate drew away enough Republican votes.
