Romney on 2016 Run: ‘Circumstances Can Change’ [Don't ZOT the messenger!]
Mediaite ^ | August 26, 2014 6:50pm | Eddy Scarry (Really!)

Posted on 08/26/2014 5:31:39 PM PDT by tinyowl

Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has denied he’s not going to make a third bid for the White House but on Tuesday he left open a very small window.

“I know you’re going to press, but you know, this is something we gave a lot of thought to when early on I decided we’re not going to be running this time,” Romney said in an interview with Hugh Hewitt. “And again, we said look, I had the chance of running. I didn’t win. Someone else has a better chance than I do. And that’s what we believe, and that’s why I’m not running. And you know, circumstances can change, but I’m just not going to let my head go there.” .... (italics & blue mine)

Romney’s former running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) recently said he hopes Romney will run again.

  1. My first post. Please don't ZOT the messenger.
  2. Yes, the author's name is Scarry.
  3. This is a clear sign he's beein thinking about it for a while. Actually, in interviews I've seen with him, it already sounded like he was running.

You made it almost an entire year without creating a thread. But our probationary period is two years.

Prepare for abuse.

Mitt Romney might make a good Chief of Staff - someone to make sure the WH becomes a well-oiled machine. But please, not President.

He’s not running. He’s the frontman for Paul Ryan in 2016.

I don't believe in beheading the messenger.

Please step into the bucket of the trebouchet.

Romney didn't even match his own party platform on guns, abortion, socialized medicine, or amnesty. He lost because he was a liberal. He'll lose again because he's a liberal.

I damn sure won't vote for a liberal, especially a liberal (R).

No... My last ex-wife hid all things trebouchet from me, and worried about me actually building one.

I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten into any trouble with it. There in the city.

I wish he would.. there is no one capable to step up o the plate.
Anecdote: I was a kid when his Dad, George Romney, ran for Governor in Michigan. All the kids at school, democrats, teased me & said “He’s a Mormon!”

So, when my Dad & I walked two blocks to the local grocery store, I asked him who he was going to vote for.

My Dad said & he said, “George Romney.”
“But, DAD,” I said, “They say is is Mormon!”

My very wise father said, “I’m voting for a Governor, not a minister!”

George Romney, the anti-war goofball that ran against Reagan and Nixon for 1968 and claimed that the American military “brainwashed” him, while his son was evading the draft and living in France, and who was born in Mexico because the family is so anti-American.

The man that headed the family that Mitt says was pro-abortion since at least 1963, and whose wife ran as a pro-abortion candidate for Senator in 1970, and whose son was a passionate abortion advocate, who gave us gay marriage and Romney/Obamacare, and who has always supported a gay military and gay scout leaders, and that claimed he and his father marched with Martin Luther King.

Quite a guy the Bishop was, his son now thinks that his father is a God somewhere.
