That’s a good one. Someone needs to build some faux campaign graphic off that. :)

He would run the govt like a company and get rid of countless buracracies and regulations.

What an utterly delusional statement.

Government can never be run like a business -- that is a fiction.

Romney's first instinct is to believe that State action is the proper course -- he worships at the Alter of State Power.

Romney does NOT believe in limited government.

I very reluctantly voted for Romney is 2012. If this Statist is top of the ticket in 16 I will do a write-in.

Hugh pushed Romney continuously on his show in 2008. Then again in 2012. Now again for 2016.

I used to listen to him regularly, but his obsession with Mitt turned me away.

The dude ought to just ask him out on a date already and get it over with.

The changed demographics in this country is why we will have a woman President - if not Hillary then certainly Elizabeth Warren who has none of her polarizing negatives.

In that kind of political environment, Romney looks dated, not fresh.

There wasn’t a Republican alive that could have won that election.

A recent poll showed that 37% of likely voters could not identify which party controlled the House or Senate.

Jim, in my view, a man can’t be as pro-queer as Romney and be a decent person.

Actually George P. Bush (Jeb's son) could have a political future, in about 20 years.

I thought Texans abhorred Royalty?

Romney has shown time and again that, during the fight of the century, he is content to sit on the sideline, waiting by the phone, waiting to be anointed president.

What he does not do is speak up from right where he is, he does not confront the forces of evil with the voice he already has and the celebrity he already has. He waits to be called.

Leaders lead. Fighters fight. They don’t just shop their resumes around and wait to see if someone calls. Romney is not a leader and he is not a fighter. He is not the guy we need. Look for someone who is already in the fight. Thats your man, or woman.

Another media selection for the GOP-E.

Then they have a Republican to pin the economic collapse on.

He is already running and he won’t win the Election. The only way he might lose the nomination is if the NRC has decided that it is Jeb’s Turn. Short of the entire NRC being wiped out by Ebola very soon, one of those two will be the Nominee and whoever the Democrats put up will be the next President.

"If this statist is at the top of the ticket in 16 I will do a write in".

Me too.

Ted Cruz

Romneycare was the basis for Obamacare. Romney made the 47% comment- writting the rest of the country off. He won't be able to overcome these things.

Like the majority of politicians, and most of our population- Romney is a nice man who appreciates the comfortable life he has been able to have here, but he doesn't really understand what this nation is, what it means.

Ted Cruz "gets" it. He gets what this country is about at gut level. He can win. He is what we need to try and undo the tremendous damage that has been done to our national psyche.

I just hope and pray he can overcome the brutal personal attacks, and treacherous, dirty, underhanded tactics the Gope will use to try and destroy he and his family, in order to prevent him from being the nominee.

He'll have to deal with the democrat nastiness too, if he can get withstand the Gope attack, and get the nomination.

Praying he can get there.

And Mitt won’t win.

And Mitt will not try. If it looks like he might win anyway he will do something to throw the election just as he did before and McCain did and Dole did and Bush 1 tried to do. Bush 1 at least didn't try to lose even though he didn't try very hard to win either.. Jeb would do the same. They are Republicans and as such seek only to by honored by the Party with the supreme honor that the Party can bestow- the Nomination. But being President is a pain in the ass and they don't want to do that.
