"Mitt wants to run. He never stopped wanting to run," an anonymous senior adviser of Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign recently told New York magazine. Other members of Romneyworld have denied the former governor is interested in another campaign. But at this stage in the 2016 race, Mitt Romney should start preparing to get back in the arena.
Romney should be ready to enter the field to save his party from an awful reckoning between its leadership and its base, a reckoning that has been brought on by Donald Trump's campaign. Trump has proven that the "strongest GOP primary field in 30 years" is no such thing, creating an opening for the winner of the last primary. If Romney should win the primary, it would be an incredible political comeback. It would also be a gift to his party, forcing on the GOP the reality of a new and stable settlement between its factions.

This ploy is nothing more than the GOPe trying to punish Republicans who are not supporting their favored Jeb!
No more Jeb!
No more Mitt!
No more GOPe candidates!
VOMIT!!!!!!!
Poor Ann Coulter will have a stroke.
Oh geez, they just haven’t got a clue, do they!!!!
Mutt should run..... away, and take !Yeb! with him!
Good Lord.
I’m all in favor of it. Mitt will split the GPOPe vote with Heb. Each will get 1 and a half percent.
Not a single person wants Romney to run again— I think he would poll less than Lindsey Graham—
Don’t look back. Romney had his opportunity and punked out at the finish line. The same would happen again. He doesn’t have the killer instinct.
I don’t know what this guy has been drinking.
I do know I don’t want any of it.
Why not recruit MeCain too, Losers for President!
Agreed. Please God...no.
Yeah, right. That is exactly what the GOP needs —
the guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama in 2008 —
the guy who lost to Obama in 2012.
Romney couldn’t rally the base against Obama in 2012; he certainly won’t rally the base against anyone in 2016 — even though his son did give a speech in Spanish at the 2012 GOP convention.
If Mittwit jumps in he’ll help split 5% jeb’s squish vote. .
Romney is the very embodiment of the differences between the "leadership" and the base.
I am going to predict that Michael Brendan Dougherty is a flamer and a liberal that’s just tring to split the vote up to ensure a Democrat president wins. I mean who in the hell uses their complete middle name in their articles except for flamers?
Notice the guys that ‘save’ the party are the ones that lose. Every time.
What is The Week? The author is clueless.
Oh great let’s run a retread never was!
