The Weekly Standard published An Open Letter to Mitt Romney on Tuesday night, begging the former Republican presidential nominee to launch a third-party bid.
[T]hese are extraordinary times, and your nation still has need of your service. I respectfully implore you to run for president as an independent candidate in 2016, Jay Cost wrote.
Cost slams presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clintons Nixonian paranoia of enemies and calls her Republican counterpart, Donald Trump, a sympathizer with the nativist alt-right.
They do not see Americans as Americans, the letter continues. They see each of us as potential allies or foes, depending upon their small-minded political calculations.
It ends by pleading Romney to run.
Governor Romney, there is nobody else but you who is capable of such a bid," Cost writes. Only you possess the experience, the political network, the good health, and the time to dedicate to this great endeavor [of launching a third-party bid].
The Weekly Standard was founded by Bill Kristol, a prominent Never Trump conservative who has been trying to recruit a third-party candidate.
Well then, that's one magazine I will never be subscribing to.
“Romney would most likely take votes from Clinton so yeah go ahead.”
And that is EXACTLY how Trump should frame it. Maybe Hilarity will take Romney as her running mate,
Yes, please Mr. Romney, lose for us again!
So, let me get this straight, the Republicans did the following;
The base didn’t want McCain, but it was expected to vote for him.
The base didn’t want Romney, but was expected to vote for him.
Trump is the nominee, whaaaaaaa!, you can’t vote for him.
I’ve said this a few times, Trump, not my first choice, but far better than “hitch the dog to the car roof” Romney and more fightiness than McCain. (I disagree on a lot of things with McCain, but won’t deningrate him due to the price he paid in Vietnam.)
I’ll denigrate romney all day long. Mr. biz genius that doesn’t even test his get out the vote software before the big show. #neverromney
I will vote for Trump, much more enthusiastically than i ever could for romney.
The chattering classes rely on sugar daddies now. They are trolling for a big fish with this Romney nonsense no doubt.
Mitt was not a conservative when he ran last time.
Why would he run as one now?
Pussy was afraid to attack the pathetic magic negro and that moe’s record,,
What, ole Mitt finally grow a set?
I don’t think so.
Sit down Mitt and shut the hell up, punk.
I will have to buy that magazine, I’m out of Charmin.
Blatant product placement.
The bought and paid for chattering classes are mouthpieces for their wealthy donors. There is nothing principled or conservative about giving aid and comfort to the Butcher of Benghazi.
Weakly Standard is NOT conservative, merely globalist.
The Quislings have been exposed.
Nothing like snatching defeat from the jaws of victory; the GOPe are experts at doing that. Why should we sign up for that stupidity?
Instead of “conservative” say “for God, family, country.” If you get those right, the rest falls into place.
When will they give this up? Even hardcore #NeverTrump guy Erik Erickson said that once June 1st had passed, it was over, the window for a independent candidate had closed, it was just too late at that point to fund-raise, build a campaign organization and gather petition signatures for ballot access (even for the "amazing" Mittens Robme)....
Dear Jay:
May I suggest you locate a safe space until after November 8.
Plus, to be on the safe side, please contact your psychiatrist.
