I hope they both run and Christie also to dilute the GOP-E vote.

Ain't gonna happen.

Christie and Romney are both going to talk smack and bluff, but in the end, they will coalesce behind Jeb Bush. Because the powers-that-be that are yanking the Republican Party's chain is going to demand it; that there will no multiple RINOs running for POTUS so a conservative can push through.

The more one declares his commitment to communism, the more popular he is. Jane Fonda predicted as such.

   Poor Romney - you know you're really washed up when you're no longer the leader of the wing of the party that stands for nothing at all.

[EternalVigilance]

The establishment has total control of the party here in Iowa as well. They would be happy with either of them, I have no doubt.

[Theodore R.]

I am thinking that Jebbie will be the nominee: there’s no stopping the liberal inevitable. But we don’s have to vote for him.

[Olog-hai]

The GOP was like this for decades. Reagan was actually the exception.

[Theodore R.]

Even if Cruz beats Jebbie in a debate, why would you think that would impress the Republican primary voters? They are so uninformed that they wouldn’t even know Cruz had upended Jebbie.

[Theodore R.]

That’s right, he could not win MI or MA and didn’t even campaign in either state.

[Theodore R.]

I vote Constitution Party in 2016 if Romney or Jebbie is the nominee: not that it would matter in the least.

[Farmer Dean]

Reminds me of Big Enis,Little Enos.

[Theodore R.]

If Wall Street and Main Street want to see another Reagan Revolution and economy, they'll get behind Ted Cruz.

They don't and they won't.

[txnativegop]

good for you! another reason NOT to vote for you!

As if I needed one . . .

[jospehm20]

That is probably the case.

[rawcatslyentist]

That’s ok Mitt, we think Jeb sucks as much as you do too.

[MUDDOG]

Bingo!

Romney is telling donors on Wall Street "not to commit to a candidate that is not their first choice and that they aren’t excited about.

Awesome advice Mitt, it describes how I feel about you to a tee, except that you aren't my second, third, fourth or fifth choice either, by the way should we ask your son if really want to be president this time?

[2ndDivisionVet]

But we can. We are legion.

The Lindsey Graham folks in SC can easily but either one of them over the top.

There is even talk of a Graham candidacy. McCain, for one, is pushing it.

I'd view the primary purpose of a Graham candidacy as being to deny South Carolina to Ted Cruz.

[OneWingedShark]

He is speaking like he is the party’s great statesman, it’s political warrior, but he is a nobody in reality, a perennial loser type.

That is why he fits the Republican party so well; look at how the party has acted [its inaction] over the past 6 years, even on things that are no-lose [taking a hatchet to the NSA after the domestic espionage; the IRS] — they are utterly unwilling to stand for anything, so they fall for anything.
