You folks have to realize what Mitt can bring to the GOP, with his proven ability to ORGANIZE stuff...

Well, morticians are quite organized as a profession. Mitt can ORGANIZE the embalming of the cadaver known as the GOP after he loses to Hillary in 2016, that's for sure.

So Milt wants to run to prevent Ted Cruz from winning the nomination!

Milt has not interest in winning the election, he just wants to prevent Ted from winning.

Is this what the liberals mean by "cutting off your nose to spite your face"?

That's Romney's raison d'etre, to keep Conservatives from getting the nomination.

Romney will be a placeholder candidate on the republican ticket, so that the democrat can win - just like last time.

Republican voters, if you want Hillary or the fake Cherokee Liz to win, you will support Jeb or Milt.

No Jeb, No Mitt, No Rick, No Mike nononononono! No more crony capitalist, compassionate conservative, RINOs. Nononono. I want a constitutional liberty candidate. I want a fire breathing reincarnation of one of our founding fathers. We are going to need it soon since we are so screwed up as a country. We may not survive anything less. If it splits this country in two then fine. I want personal liberty with small government. I don’t want a big government conservative or liberal. LIBERTY OR NOTHING! Too many here want big government conservatives. Once you make government the answer you lose.

Left wing republicans are ok with losing the election, as long as any conservative does not win it. They are ok with Barry, or Hillary, or Cherokee Liz.

Mitt wants to be a placeholder candidate just like last time, so that the republican ticket does not go to anyone even remotely conservative. If he runs this time, he will once again run a burnt ground campaign to stop conservatives, and then coast through the general.

If this is Mitt’s idea of being crafty, he’s pathetic. He’s as transparent as glass.

No one has seen this FReeper discouraging a Jeb Bush run for the GOP nomination in 2016 here on Free Republic, for this very reason. We need him to be the lone RINO on the stage this go ‘round. He won’t last past the South Carolina Primary.

Right now Cruz and Huckabee (regardless of what the Huckabee haters here say) meet my standards of acceptance. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OK, Sola Veritas, I'm no Huck "hater" but he has been a terrible disappointment. I think he has cozied up to the GOP Establishment entirely too much. Check out the candidates he endorsed during the 2014 Primaries; Establishment dudes!!! I don't hate him, but, I don't trust "The Huckster".

But Jeb is Common Core, Jeb is immigration, Jeb has been talking about...

And Mitt is really into socialized medicine.

No candidate can win a presidential nomination or the presidency itself if his wife has a top-level job on Wall Street, as Ted Cruz’s wife does.

And it’s unlikely that a candidate with virtually 100% name recognition among Republicans can win the 2016 presidential nomination if he’s only being supported by 5.5% of Republican voters in the latest polls, as Ted Cruz is.

By contrast, among Conservative candidates, Scott Walker and Ben Carson, who have been under the radar, are each receiving 8% support and neither one’s wife is earning million-dollar bonuses for helping Goldman Sachs work its selfish machinations through the American and global banking systems.

If we want a Conservative to win the 2016 Republican presidential nomination instead of Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush, shouldn’t we be getting behind someone who can win, like Scott Walker or Ben Carson, instead of the inevitably doomed Ted Cruz?

Carson/Rubio 2016
