Former Trump advisor: Romney thinking about getting in
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/23/2015 | Curt Mills

Colorful former Trump advisor Roger Stone thinks 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney is thinking about getting back in the presidential race. Stone tweeted his suspicion, and told CNN he had heard that Romney was considering a run from his sources.

The move could indicate Romney sees an opportunity to better confront and challenge front-runner Donald Trump. Some see current establishment standard bearer former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as flailing. Trump has mocked Bush for being "just flat" on the campaign trail and Sunday called him a "low energy" candidate.

Romney publicly considered a third run as recently as January, but decided against it, after he lost most of his valuable donor base to Bush, and the massive prospective Republican field proved too unpredictable.

Why is everybody SO afraid of Trump?

Because Trump might actually stop the cheap labor express. All other 16 candidates are dependent on their rich donors to stay in the primary run. And those rich donors do NOT want the cheap labor express de-railed.

God, please no.


May just happen.

We will once again be treated to the spectacle of Republican candidate engaging in an all out, take no prisoners, poison the wells and salt the fields behind you war on another Republican while being totally unable to say a negative word about the Democrats, no matter how bad and vulnerable they are.

If Romney gets into the race, you can bet your a** the only time Romney mentions the word “server” will be in the context on how good of a job his chef and the rest of the hired help did on last nights family dinner party honoring Candy Crowley back at one of his mansions.

I saw this on twitter.

I'm sure you did..........What the heck, if it's on Twitter then it's a given that Romney is now in the race!......./s

Romney gave it his best four years ago and has since denied that he's going to run again.

What's the sense in dragging him thru the mud again on this forum and creating controversy where none really exists?

If Myth gets into the Donald’s playground think of all the fun DT will have teeing off on a new plaything. Yeb and Mittens ganging up on the Trumpster? Worth the price of admission for that showdown.
Trump will show and down they will go.

Who knows? It’s believable since Romney only bowed out since it looked like Jeb was getting all the GOPe support and Big Donor money. Now that Jeb doesn’t look so inevitable...

And why is anyone afraid of Romney? He could not even beat candy Crowley.

LOL! Stay home, Mitt. Well, then again, maybe there is money to be made on the venture. Why are all these socialists in this endeavor anyway? Hillaryous.

Mitt has lost a lot of weight. Hope he’s OK.

Meanwhile, I am enjoying watching The Donald ridicule the Bushies, the Kasics, and Lindsey Goober Graham.

ABSOLUTELY! I can't wait to see him rip to shreds the 'rat nominee.

So many completely baseless rumors, so little time ...

Wouldn’t Romney split the Jeb vote?

YEB would go from 8% to YEB and Romney 4% each and Trump at 32%. Actually it's not all that bad when you think about it.

sorry Mittens, you had your shot and blew it. Maybe there is a spot in Trump’s Cabinate-—Sec. of Education?
