Mitt Romney about to enter GOP race
the-newshub.com ^ | 25 FEBRUARY 2016 | Bill Singletary

Posted on 02/27/2016 9:04:17 PM PST by topfile

Mitt Romney is one step closer to entering the 2016 presidential race sources say, confirming what the-newshub.com reported last October that Romney would jump into the race after the first key primaries were held and some of the delegate dust had settled.

Romney told Fox News on Wednesday that “We have good reason to believe that there’s a bombshell in Donald Trump’s taxes,” and quickly added that Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio should also disclose their tax information. Romney’s statement was a bowshot aimed at Trump, sources say, the surprise GOP frontrunner for whom Romney has unmitigated disdain.

how can filings be passed when we don’t even have a candidate yet. for the general. primary ok. if a brokered election on both sides occur how does that make the candidates ineligible if the filings are past. i think i am missing something.

Check out Rule 37...I think they plan on stripping the delegates from anyone that walks in with the magic number. The way to do that is to have the delegates vote by “secret ballot” that way the delegates are not “Bound” on the first round. Its all a done deal. Say hello President Hillary “Vagina” Clinton

I don’t think it is a conspiracy theory. I think this is a plan the RNC and GOPe were floating.

They've been floaters a long time. It isn't until recently that the rank-and-file noticed, and are making plans to flush the whole thing.

He and the vichy repub goper rinos are going to find out just how much more he can lose an election by, if their little scheme succeeds.

They are going to wish for the 2012 numbers.

We are done with the bullsh1t in both parties.

They won’t get away with it if they try - unless they care less that the Republican Party would cease to exist if they tried it.

If Trump has the majority of delegates (1237) heading into the convention and the clear majority or even plurality of actual votes, they will not attempt it.

One way Trump could ensure they don’t is to get his name on the ballot on all 50 states so he could then run independently like Perot did in 1992 as insurance should the GOPe attempt and succeed in what would be a political coup - taking the sure nomination away from Trump and say giving it to Romney.

However, like I pointed out, the GOPe mega-donors with the tacit approval of the GOPe, can finance a third party run by Romney or get say Ted Cruz to run for President on the Constitution Party ticket while still keeping his GOP Senate seat, similar to Ron Paul keeping this GOP house seat while running for President as the Libertarian Party Candidate in 1988.

If either of the above plays out, this would likely take votes away from Trump and hand the election to Hitlery!!!

Don’t put anything past the GOPe. If they can’t deny Trump the nomination due to his have the required 1237 pledged delegates, then don’t be surprised if they finance a third party run by Romney or possibly even Ted Cruz on an established 3rd party ticket like the Constitution Party.

It’s obvious that Trump is hiding something in his tax returns, but really? Romney? Go home, GOPe, you’re drunk.

Romney is a string puller. He’s not going to run again. They need a strawman without baggage and also deniability.

They don't need Romney. They have Rubio. I've said it before; the GOPe will eff Trump over at the convention. Rubio will be the republican nominee. Trump will run 3rd party. Hillary will be president.

By all means, let’s have a professional designated loser for our standard bearer in 2016!

This SOB gave us four more years of Obama.

No more.

Go Trump!

‘... i don’t really think Trump is a conservative but [we should unite if he wins ...’

Nice to hear that. Others are hinting that Trump supporters are brown shirts, and they agree with Rush that we are ‘immune from information’ about him. Not exactly prepared to unite behind whoever wins, are they?

I’ll post some myth-breakers about Trump to ‘whoever’ in followup posts here if you are interested. FRegards ....
