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.

Primaries usually determine candidate presented at convention.

This year is a little unusual because:

1. There are several candidates.
2. The GOPe is determined to thwart Trump’s bid.

PING!!

Sources close to the Romney camp believe a brokered Republican convention is inevitable and that their man will steal the nomination.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3402838/posts?page=168#168

Mexico born Big Daddy George Romney tried a brokered convention in 1964...

he got 41 votes to 800+ for Barry Goldwater the nominee and a good friend of Ronald Reagan...

George stomped out of the convention with teenager Willard in tow and went and helped Johnson the Democrat win the election in Nov... working against Goldwater...

Is this what Willard plans to do ??? Help Hillary as he helped Obama in 2012 ???

Dumb move really....would just further divide the vote and ensure Trump’s win.

Someone someplace must think masses of people ‘loved’ Romney.

Even his supporters held their noses.

Conservatives have always been told, no 3rd party, we must take control of the Republican Party.

Conservatives that don't already support Trump, will with few exceptions, overwhelmingly support him in Nov. over Hillary.

Record turnouts with most all voting straight party ticket will give the house and senate numbers they have never seen before.

The next step will be new leadership in the Senate, House & RNC.

It’s more than the good people of Mississippi that remember the treachery of what they did to get rid of conservative McDaniel to allow POS Cochran another term - the blow-back would be enormous.

I agree with your assessment of Romney except you neglected to include that he is, unfortunately, a globalist. Well meaning but a globalist, nontheless.

Here is a link to some synonyms for “courage”. How about using one of them instead of subjecting ladies like me to vulgarity.

...He doesn’t expect to win, just to act as a spoiler for Trump.

That's exactly right.  Romney is the con man who gave us a second term for Obama.  He was the spoiler of the Tea Party candidates in 2012.  Romney is the poster boy GOPe candidate.

Would love to see him get in the race, so Trump can tear the guy's preppy ego to shreds.  Go TRUMP!

Romney, the Staples man.  And Staples is about as relevant a company today as Woolworth's.  They forgot about the internet and it's Mittens' fault.

Thank you for that.

I believe that is the intent of the RNC, though, and McConnell.

If the RNC does this, it will lose, which is also what I think it intends to do, as the RNC and DNC are globalists now, IMHO.

Romney will get shredded. Best for Willard to politely decline.

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

yeah, it was one of the many BAD “stop-Trump” ideas they were tossing about in total desperation, despair and chaos.

“I wonder if Stone is playing a psy-op game with the GOPe on behalf of Donald? All these stories track back to him. Makes one wonder what Donald is up to?”

That makes as much sense as in theory as to what Stone is up to, maybe more.
