Mitt Romney: My family still wants me to run for president
CNN ^ | June 29, 2016 | Theodore Schleifer

Mitt Romney's family is still pleading for him to mount an independent bid for the presidency, the 2012 Republican nominee said Wednesday.

Romney, speaking to CBS News' John Dickerson at the Aspen Ideas Festival, said a son asked him as recently as Tuesday to do so. "My wife and kids wanted me to run again this time, interestingly enough," Romney said. "I got an email from one of my sons yesterday, saying 'You gotta get in, Dad! You gotta get in!' "

Americans want you to take all of your family and go far, far away.

Next time just point out the improper use of the apostrophe, and remind him that pictures and windows get hung, but people, after due process, of course, are hanged. :)

My adult families, my wife’s adult families and the adult families of our friends want Mitt to run away and leave us alone.

Vote for Trump and defeat Mitt/his thugs/ and Clinton’s thugs.

Mitt run away and leave us alone! You may be as evil as Obama and Clinton!

I am fairly certain that Romney is on the DNC payroll and was back in 2012.

It’s a little late for that now Willard. Trump won the primary voting. Willard’s family has no honor nor loyalty.

At this point, if Romney did mount an independent run, it would hurt Clinton more than Trump, because all of those establishment anti-Trump Pubbies would have to choose between Romney and Clinton.

Romney’s family wanting him to be president is not much of a selling point.

For every #NeverTrump Cruz supporter out there who has this fantasy of blowing the first ballot so that the convention becomes open, here’s what you’ll get. A Romney/Bush ticket.

The ONLY reason why Mitt would run at this point is to ensure that Hillary wins. And everyone knows it.

The egomaniac....

Romney's mask is off. We know he didn't give a damn about winning, just wanted to run and be top dog in the Republican Party. Now Trump has taken that position, and logic says Trump will win. (lots of states that Romney lost could be won by Trump). Romney's high opinion of himself just can't handle that Trump has replaced him. Trump, a more successful businessman, with a more successful independent family, and worshipped in some cases by folks Romney wouldn't lower himself to campaigning for their votes. Romney just can't handle it, so he's behaving a bit on the crazy side.

That's my take, anyway.

Who wants to be the would-be Romney heir to say, “No—just give it up already, Dad!”

Apparently Romney didn’t get the message from his last election.

You should have run 4 years ago instead of throwing the election away by your cowardly actions.

Only time you campaigned was when you were up against a conservative.
