Mitt Romney won’t rule out accepting GOP nomination at contested convention
Washington Times ^ | 3/6/2016 | S.A. Miller

Posted on 03/06/2016 2:26:18 PM PST by LS

Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, refused Sunday to rule out becoming the nominee again this year at a brokered convention, though he insisted he couldn’t imagine that happening.

“I don’t think anyone in our party should say, ‘Oh no, even if the people of the party wanted me to be president, I would say no to it.’ No one is going to say that,” Mr. Romney said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Willard’s speech the other day was the death knell to his “career” as a politician. He will never be POTUS.

Mitt needs to buy a clue. Nobody wants him as the nominee. Not now. Not ever (again).

Romney has thrown MULTIPLE elections.

He is a socialist of Mexican parentage ... and it shows.


Romney's thrown Election #1:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson
."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

[Romney: A Mistake for McCain, 7/23/2008, Dick Morris]


Romney's thrown Election #2:

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"



Romney's thrown Election #3:

Mitt Romney Sends Leftover Pizza to Obama Chicago HQ
After spending the day in Chicago fundraising, Mitt Romney
sat down with small business owners at Gino's East,
a pizza joint famous for their deep-dish pizza.
In fact, Romney himself tweeted a photo of a
delivery boy heading out with the loot, writing,
"Great deep dish at @ginoseast.
Sending the extra slices to @barackobama and his Chicago HQ team."

Told ya. If they can get Trump out, they will remove Cruz in a heartbeat and say, "Gee, we need someone more ELECTABLE to run."

Cruz takes nomination away from Trump. Court rules Cruz ineligible. Romney is called on to save the party. Thank you very much Cruz voters.

“The GOPe wants Hillary to win.”

It’s hard to believe, but after seeing everything that is going on, this is indeed the only logical explanation.

The Republicans will get about 10 million votes in the general election. They still don’t get this is the scorched Earth revenge campaign the PEOPLE are waging against every millimeter of DC.

Rule 40(b) of the RNC’s convention rules says that no candidate is eligible to be nominated unless he’s won a majority of delegates in at least eight different states.

Sorry Mittens.

I will vote for a legitimately nominated Republican candidate.

Mitt will never meet any of those criteria.

Cruz or Trump needs to win this thing outright. Otherwise, the GOPE will screw us over. Again.
