Mitt vs. Hillary: An Even Match
National Review ^ | November 3, 2014 | Myra Adams

Posted on 11/03/2014 9:18:49 AM PST by C19fan

Mitt Romney is keeping a very high profile this midterm-election season by campaigning coast to coast for Republicans, and two recent polls suggest why he might be encouraged to stay active in politics. Romney and his family say Mitt will not be running for president in 2016, but in August the two-time presidential candidate and 2012 GOP nominee made sure to add, “circumstances can change.”

GOP strategist Mark McKinnon describes what what those changing circumstances could look like. “If Jeb Bush or Chris Christie do not run,” McKinnon tells National Review Online, “then one could make an argument for Mitt Romney.”

Your daily dose of Willard 2016. I have been following Myra Adams for awhile starting back when she wrote at PJ Media. If you want to know how the GOPe is thinking just read Adams's drivel. She writes the same thing over and over again and just replaces the names: McCain for 2008, Romney for 2012 and looks like she is still a Romneybot for 2016. It an embarrassment she actually gets a check from National Review.

Myth is such a gentleman. He would never want to confront Hillary Benghazi Clinton on anything. We should let the GOPe/MSM shove him down our throats. Again.

The perfect race for the media.

Personally I’m more interested in the slugfest between Clinton, Warren, Bill Richardson, and possibly Biden and Kerry.

Hillary is probably not going to run, and Mitt still can beat her.

Mitt vs. Hillary: An Even Match

Excellent! That means a GOOD candidate can clean FatAss's clock. If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't prepare well enough.

Would there be much difference between a Romney presidency and a Hillary presidency?

I mean, other than the Bill scandals?

It’s funny how Yankees STILL think everyone likes them, thinks they’re great leaders and wants to vote for them.

Why, Yankee-ism is so effective its lifelong voters have fled to other states - mostly in the South - to spread the gospel!

Romney is a deal maker. For him, your principles are his negotiating points. If he can make the deal, whatever principles he had to trade for it are well worth it.

Mitt vs. Hillary: An Even Perfect Match

I can almost hear Romney/Clinton in `16!

There is no difference between (R) and (D) any more.

Mitt vs. Hillary...

Reminds me of the South Park episode theme that pitted the Douchebag against the Sh!t Sandwich.

But at least we have a choice! :-(

The main thing to remember about Romney is that he does not fight, and he does not lead. He polishes his position papers and waits by the phone.
