It's Time for Romney
Politico ^ | 9/15/15 | Matt Latimer

Posted on 09/16/2015 10:59:22 AM PDT by ghost of stonewall jackson

Could Mitt shake up the race? And, more importantly in their eyes, could he be the one to stop Donald Trump? The answers are yes, and maybe — if only he did the following:

1 Make them want you. Romney needs to pose as the reluctant candidate who only reluctantly would consider jumping into the race for king and country (and party). He needs people to come to him, to write op-eds asking him to run. In other words, to do what George W. Bush did successfully in 2000 and his brother tried — and failed — to do this year.

2 Avoid his advisers.

3 Laugh off his past.

4 Trumpet (no pun intended) his own business record.

5 Be the guy in the documentary.

6 For goodness sake, pick a fight.

If it’s time for Romney, it’s time for me to blow chunks out of both ends,

Fantastic. He can pick up the 1.5% that Rick Perry left behind when he bailed.

They want the Mormon who wouldn’t pick a fight with Obama to pick a fight with Trump?

Good luck with that.

Here's one more to throw in the idiot pile.

If Romney is the nominee, Trump won’t be the only one going third party!

So, it’s time for Romney to get in the primaries and viciously dismantle all Republican competition, and then go on to lose to hillary? Are the elite asking for a revolution?

These people are having the most public meltdown in political history!

They are openly conspiring to take down a popular candidate for no other reason than their guy sucked! And they want to replace him with a guy that sucked so hard he lost in 2008 and 2012!

My sentiments exactly. I guess anything to practically hand the keys to the White House over to either Hitlery or Mr. Weatherbee the socialist.
