Hmmm: Mitt Romney Is Being Courted To Consider Running As An Independent
townhall.com ^ | Saturday May 7, 2016 | Matt Vespa

Some 2016 intrigue coming from The Washington Post’s Robert Costa, who reported on a meeting Mitt Romney had with the Weekly Standard’s William Kristol last Thursday on the possibility of running as a third party candidate.

Absolutely. And I for one will be with the family high atop a mountain on the Olympic Peninsula watching the demise of the Great Experiment. The Founding Fathers will be crying in their beer.

OTOH, when Hillary is told she’s now Madam President, her head will get so large it won’t fit in the limo to take her to the WH where it will explode.

Any photo shoppers out there who can put Kristol and Romney in a Hillary t-shirt?

Put them on postcards and mail them to Republican members of Congress, etc.

Isolate and ridicule. Its Alinsky, baby!

Romney thought 47% of US citizens weren’t worth campaigning to now wants t. Now he wants to thwart the achievements of appealing across the economic spectrum. What percent is he planning to appeal to this time?

“Kristol is part of a large swath of conservatives within the Republican Party, who are highly skeptical of presumptive nominee Donald Trump on a whole host of issues—the most obvious being that the billionaire magnate isn’t even a conservative Republican:”

Romney has never been a conservative Republican either.

"Let’s splinter the party and give the presidency over to the Hillarybeeste."... Is the GOPe a wholly owned subsidiary to the Soros/Hillary machine? GOPe shows it true colors (deep blue) as well is its complete disdain for the people they claim to champion! And puts the "vest" on Mitt to be "suicide bomber" to the candidate the GOP voters chose.

Hard to believe they are this stupid...

BTW, Kristof is a neo-con which means he’s an old school democrat that left the party due to its anti war swing...

I am sure he would have no problem voting for Hillary...

Media will do anything for clicks, viewers, or listeners these days.

Kristol is trying to keep himself relevant by spreading garbage rumors.

Makes sense. Hitlery is the DC Uni-Party’s candidate and the GOPe is part of that party.

One way or another, they will maintain their position of power while they continue to loot the USA.
