Romney on 2016: “We’ve got a lot of people looking at the race. We’ll see what happens.”

Scout’s honor: Not until today, having read the words of the man himself, have I sincerely believed he might run again. The RomneyWatch™ posts are fun to write but not because Mitt 2016 was a real thing — I thought. They were fun because it wasn’t a real thing. It was a way to collectively pretend-scare ourselves, like playing with a ouija board.

Now, suddenly, I look down and the planchette is moving by itself. And it spells M-I-T-T.

A recent column by the conservative pundit Byron York noted that Romney had kept in close contact with many of his advisers and aides. As we spoke, Romney compared the barrage of 2016-related questions to a scene in the film “Dumb and Dumber.” After Jim Carrey’s character is flatly rejected by Lauren Holly, she tells him that there’s a one-in-a-million chance she would change her mind. “So,” Romney told me, embodying the character, “Jim Carrey says, ‘You’re telling me there’s a chance.’ ”

This was the obvious opening for me to ask if there was a chance. Romney’s response was decidedly meta — “I have nothing to add to the story” — but he then fell into the practiced political parlance of nondenial. “We’ve got a lot of people looking at the race,” he said. “We’ll see what happens.”

The ONLY way I would support a re-run by Mitt Romney in 2016 is if he stood up and said he was going to bring back jobs to America.

Heck I’ll support any Republican who says that.

But that is the only way I will support Romney. If he actually becomes militantly for American jobs.

How about it Mitt? Buy American.

If this as$hat is nominated again I will never, ever vote again.

We need a President that will OPPOSE socialized medicine...and destroy Obamacare. Not support it.

[Norm Lenhart]

Where are the “He’s not running crowd today?’

Oh...must be preparing to vote GOP no matter what...again...and lose...again.

Idiots.

The GOP is the GIVE.OBAMA.POWER party.

And the rat Romney;’s jealousy and presumptuousness
is the only reason Obama is/was pRes_ _ent.

[EveningStar]

You had your chance and you didn’t win, Mitt.

Please step aside.

Thank you.

[fatnotlazy]

Please go away Mitt. And take Jeb, Christie, Rubio and the rest of the liberal Republicans with you.

[NormsRevenge]

Maybe he should eat a Snickers bar .. So the Real Mitt comes out next time.

[Norm Lenhart]

As long as his operatives see people on right wing sites saying they will vote GOP no matter what, Mitt will keep running and the GOP will keep fronting liberals. It’s that simple. Want him gone? Then lets stop giving him a reason to run.

Hey Mitt, Candy Crowley kicked your butt and she wasn’t even running. Time to hang it up!

[rovenstinez]

Please Mitt, you had your chance, let someone else that doesn’t sling mud, or have mud slung at them step in.
