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.

“Surely the GOPe can't be this stupid.”

Sorry, but YES THEY CAN. The GOPe isn't called the Stupid Party for nothing. I lose track of how many times they've snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. They aren't concerned what a Clinton presidency would do to the country, not as long as they get to maintain their place at the public trough of taxpayer money and retain their power. That's all they care about and the rest of us can be damned to hell.

Your “sources” probably have no clue about this. If this were true, it means that each and every primary and caucus was worth nothing. Do you think the GOP is really going to risk deeply offending all of those folks who participated???

Not likely.

I’m sure Willard the Socialist Ringer will go after that goldmine of votes that has made El Jebbe and Pig Vomit (Kay Sick) such political powerhouses.

Apparently so.

I don’t see how he’s a stronger vote getter than Rubio but this is predicated on Rubio and Gay’s Itch withdrawing.

Mitt’s the King of the CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS...

We didn’t elect him last time and we won’t elect him this time. So why is he running? To elect Hillary - she’s the Queen of the CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS.

They must have a very important reason to want Hillary to be elected.

Romney, the loser, is not going to jump into a race that resembles a massive movement away from his mentality in the GOP.

Who the heck is going to vote for milquetoast Romney? He didn’t have the balls when we needed it.

Give it up, Mr. Romney!

If only Romney fought Obama in the election the way he fights CONSERVATIVES!

What an awful thing to say about warm friendly puppies. They have nothing in common with Moral Monster Mitt Romney.

The source for this article is sketchy at best.

Romney is way to cautious/timid to do something as bold as jumping into a race three months late. Ain't going to happen.

Moral??? Self-made??? Quality person??? Too much of a Boy Scout???? How many moons in your sky?

The GOP SHOULD have been torn apart for nominating the evil SOB/POS in 2012.

ROGER STONE IS A BLOOMING IDIOT.

He makes up crap.

Again this is a non story. He’s trying to stay relevant since he got fired and BANNED from CNN for being a racist jackass.

I have little use for TRUMP!!! but, if he earns the requisite number of delegates to be the nominee AND the brain dead $$$$$ bastards who run the party play ANY games over this to deny him the nomination by rules changes or whatever, there will be a mushroom cloud over the convention center in Cleveland and over the Eisenhower Center GOP-E HQ in DC and wherever coupons are clipped.

They apparently don't get the point that people are blindly furious at all of their betrayals and dishonesty, hate the GOP-E with a purple passion, and are not going to take it any more. We are probably closer to Civil War than at any time since 1865. They ought not to push their luck.

I don't like TRUMP!!! but if he EARNS the nomination (as opposed to Moral Monster Mitt Romney having bought the 2012 nomination with corrupt $$$$$), he gets the nomination whether they like it or not. If the GOP-E tries to steal the nomination and TRUMP!!! has earned that nomination, the GOP-E will have to face a lot of TRUMP!!!'s skeptics and even enemies who are conservative in addition to TRUMP!!!'s legions of committed supporters.

The GOP-E will, of course, abandon his candidacy as they have abandoned those few candidacies not to their liking. They will cooperate with the Demonrat enemy since the Demonrats can be bought on issues of interest to the corporate elite shills and the GOP-E really does not give a shit what the Demonrats will do to SCOTUS, our foreign policy, to the babies, to the 2nd Amendment, to Americans who work with their hands for a living, and will continue to align with the Demonrats as long as they continue policies to line Muffie's trust fund at the expense of everyone else.

On the evidence to date, TRUMP!!! may not only be nominated but he may actually be elected. His supporters are NOT inclined to listen to reason. They are terminally angry and, so long as they believe TRUMP!!! can win and will do what they hope, they will walk through walls for him. If he betrays their inflated expectations as POTUS, then there will be another opportunity for revolution.

We can do without guillotines and a second round of the French Terror of the 1790s and maybe the nation will come to its senses, or maybe TRUMP!!! will instinctively be a better POTUS than I and conservatives expect him to be or maybe he will close the border, deport the worst offenders, be at least knowledgeably pro-life on judicial appointments whatever he may actually believe, cut the job losses that result from these ill-conceived trade deals. If he should just do those, he will be as big a hero as Ronaldus Maximus and against a greater degree of difficulty.

The Status quo MUST END.

Maybe we can start a “draft Romney” movement, just to instigate some fun.

Ugh, I certainly will NOT be starting that movement! >:-O

December 15, 2015 sign up date. Well don’t let me get in the way of you gifting us FReepers with your prescient insights, Mister Newbie. Just who might these omniscient “sources” of yours be?
