Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney listed some of his favorite contenders for the party's 2016 nomination Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," but notably left off a few big names.

Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and John Kasich were all name-checked by the former Massachusetts governor — but notably Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Chris Christie were not.

Yeah, I’m thinking that taking advice from a loser is not a good idea.

Go away Romney.

Exactly!

Focus on the 20%, ignore the 80%. A winning strategy!

Who is her loser? We have King Obama for a second term. Would Romney been worst than King Obama. Looks like to me that your opinion of the loser is miss guided.

Ignore your base has been the GOP’s strategy for multiple elections.

Another piece of Romney advice, after you clobber your opponent in the first debate don’t run out the clock on the next two debates.

Women voters:

2012 - 56% to 44% (12 points) for Obama

Romney won among men by an eight-point margin, 54% to 46%. That makes a total 20-point gender gap.

I think men should “take a buddy to vote” and leave their women at home. Time for men to organize.

It isn’t conservative men’s wives driving the liberal vote.

“Yeah, I’m thinking that taking advice from a loser is not a good idea.”

Nixon won his 2nd try. Reagan gained the nomination, on his 3rd try.

Think either of them listened to good advice?
