Romney tells donors he is considering 2016 campaign
Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee,
told Republican donors in New York on Friday that he is
seriously considering a third presidential campaign in 2016,
... “I believe Mitt Romney is too much of a patriot to sit
on the sidelines ... Zwick said....
Romney’s move, first reported by the Wall Street Journal,
comes as former Florida governor Jeb Bush is swiftly snatching up major party donors
and operatives as he prepares for an all-but-certain presidential campaign.
The former Massachusetts governor held a lengthy meeting on Friday
with about 30 major donors to his past campaigns at an office in midtown Manhattan.
His comment that he was seriously considering running came in response
to a question from an attendee who asked if he would clear up
whether he was jumping in the race.
“One of the more interesting things was Mitt said,
‘People ask if I really want to be president,’ and he said,
‘I’ve run twice. Yeah, I want to be president,’”
Romney's wife, Ann, had sounded adamant in public comments last year
that she did not want him to run for president in 2016.
But Romney told donors on Friday that Ann had changed her mind,
according to a person in the room.

Consider not Mr. Romney.
The snare drum roll continues. For whom will the little drummer boy stop and hit the high hat?
I can’t think of a single flaw he has changed.
If someone doesn’t want something, you can’t make him not, not want it...
Good grief not this again
Blood donors? GOP’s already anemic.
IF Mitt had campaigned against Obama, the way he campaigned against Newt, he may have won.
Save your money folks.
Lord help us...recycled Romney...OMG....
Stay out of the Romneys
Shoot me....
Oh, please, no.
He destroyed our chances the last time around, and in fact messed them up the time before that.
The only good thing about Jeb Bush starting so early is that this means that Romney is also going to have to come out early, and not wait around until he can launch his money and sabotage better candidates at the last moment, as he did before.
Maybe by the time we get to primary election day this time, we’ll have some genuine possibles.
True.
But if Romney, Bush and a couple other RINO’s run, that might be good
for a strong conservative.
He considers 2016?
And what did he conclude in his philosophical pondering on that number?
Smart people long ago looked at his record and considered him to be a liberal, the white version of Obama as the two are ideologically the same.
the full complement of gop-e candidates need to primary themselves to the death to allow emergence of the worthwhile conservative candidate
The Rino’s are out in force for 2016.
That is kind of what I’m thinking.
Load up the RINO candidates like Romney, Bush, Christie, Huntsman,
McCain etc.
