Maybe it’s MittRomney 2.0 Service Pack 3?
The `14 Republican message could be distilled to one part:
1 - I am not a Democrat.
Agreed.
What should the 2016 message be?
I don't think that message
is going to cut it — I think the general electorate is pissed off enough that unless they get things done
(and these things contrary to the way things have been going) that nothing will save them.
What will it be?
Probably the same thing as `14: We're not Democrat!
… though it could slip even further to just vote for us!
I honestly believe if he switched parties he would win the Democrat nomination for Pres. That goes for all the RINO’s mentioned as possible candidates for POTUS.
What third time, aside from becoming president on his 2nd try, and being reelected president on his 3rd run?
All these comparisons with the failed 1 term governor Romney, who left that single term with 34% approval and having to reject reelection, are absurd.
Romney has been running since 1993 and has even been a presidential nominee, yet he has only won a single election in his entire life.
Nixon returned from WWII and was elected to the Congress in 1946, reelected, then elected to the Senate, and then twice serving as veep, he was not Romney, he was a proven politician, with a real presence in republican politics.
Romney is a mystery, how has he become such a major figure in republican politics, or in politics at all?
I don't know if he'd win the Democrat nomination. But if it's a Romney vs. Clinton election then I'd be hard pressed to tell them apart.
Yea, I wasn’t clear. He lost ‘60 and ‘62 for California Governor rate, where he uttered the fateful phrase: “You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference”.
You start reading the backgrounds of some of these Presidents and you start wondering ‘where are the quality’ candidates. Men of already significant achievement?
I think a quote from CS Lewis should be the message.[p]
“We’ve been “[i]getting things done[/i]” for decades and look where we are. We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive” [p]
That should be the message. Doing an about face is the right thing to do.
