Mitt Romney seeks role as Republican kingmaker
The Hill ^ | June 26, 2015 | Jonathan Easley

Mitt Romney is asserting himself as a leader of the Republican Party at a time when the GOP lacks a true standard-bearer.

As the huge field of Republican contenders begins the long slog to the party’s 2016 nomination, Romney is working to connect select candidates with his vast political network, urging the party to learn from his past mistakes, attacking Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and taking forceful stances on controversial issues.

Last week, the former Massachusetts governor was the first major Republican to call for the removal of the Confederate flag from the grounds of the South Carolina Capitol after the shooting deaths of nine African-Americans at a black church in Charleston.

I am actually ashamed that I got up and went out and voted for him. And McCain. I won’t make that third mistake with the Mexican Bush.

[sigh]...I guess the only way we can pull the flush handle is to force the Chamber of Commerce to actually experience four years of living under President Elizabeth Warren.

Mitt Romney didn't blow it. The ill thinking conservatives who preferred King Obama did. THE DAMN REPUBLICAN VOTERS SHOT ROMNEY DOWN. Now all hail your leader King Obama. The same damn thing will happen in 2016 so get used to Hillary.

Good for you. Don't let alleged conservatives on this site browbeat and intimidate you into voting for another liberal Republican loser.

Hey Mitt, there are 47% of Americans that don’t give a flying #@$@ what you think you are.

The other 53% know you are a Big Government loser that doesn’t have the backbone to fight.

Go away, Please.

Why would that teach them anything? They've lived seven years under BO and learned nothing.

When Warren says she wants to go after the 1% I get the sense that she means it.

Mitt is acting as agent for The Cheap Labor Express to make sure they get their amnesty candidate for the GOP.

Nominate a designated oser and you will lose. Make sure the GOP doesn’t nominate a Democrat in an R jersey if you don’t want another designated loser.
