Romney, if he can secure the nomination, has a much better shot in 2016 than he did in 2012.

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!

OMG!! Is anyone but me seeing this as a knife in Trump's poll numbers?

They talk about Ross Perot and Trump in the same breath, and Mitt is Ross Perot!!!

The GOPee is the total reasoning of insanity....

“Keep doing the same things over and over again and try to get the same results”

If this wasn't so funny and ridiculous, it would be terribly terribly sad...

SSDD:

Romney, working FOR Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."


The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.


"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


"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: "Obama was born in the United States"

Romney: "Obama Doesn’t Need a Birth Certificate"

Romney: "The citizenship test has been passed"


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."

Other than the entrenched trying to stop Trump, is there ANYONE really wanting Romney to run? In other words, what kind of polling would he even get.

The only strategy that I can see is that elites get Romney to run, then openly campaign to DEMOCRATS to try to get his numbers up, since he’s a proven loser against them...short of that, I don’t see any possible strategy with Romney - he’ll do about as well as Perry otherwise.

Just to add a bit more:

The elites must now understand that there is NO WAY to stop Trump from winning big in the Primaries, the only question now is whether they can prevent Trump from locking up the nomination before the convention, as coming out on top in the Primaries helps, but does not assure you’ll be the nominee. Coming out on top by a big enough margin does accomplish that, and the convention becomes a formality.

So, as I just posted (above), the strategy with Romney has to be to pull-in Democrat voters to help pull Trump down just far enough. Basically the Mississippi strategy. A good response, when the time is appropriate, would be for Cruz, and possibly Carson to drop out and declare support for Trump...which would likely put him over the top, with or without Romney.

IMO, thanks to Romney and the Elites, we and the world got another 4-years of Zero’s destruction. Romney should stay at home in shame.

“It would also be a gift to his party, forcing on the GOP the reality of a new and stable settlement between its factions.”

The only “gift” Romney can give to his party is to never run for office anywhere again! And forcing a “STABLE SETTLEMENT?” What horse $hit!
These words are right up there with COMMON SENSE LEGISLATION, A PATH TO CITIZENSHIP, and FIGHTING FOR ME !

I can’t believe that someone would come up with an idea like this on his own. This is coming from Mitt’s wife. She’s never up and never will.

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.

Well, the author is spot on here. Problem is of course, the definition of "his party". Romney's party is the party of the inside-the-beltway elite, not the rest of the country. Personally I'd just assume that "his party" ESAD.
