Mitt Romney backlash intensifies
Politico ^ | January 15, 2015 | Katie Glueck

“Recycled.” Not the “new blood” the GOP needs. A man who “had his shot.” A “terrible candidate.” A Republican backlash against Mitt Romney that had been simmering for days boiled over on Wednesday as conservatives across the GOP spectrum panned the prospect of another presidential bid by the former Massachusetts governor and two-time loser on the national stage.

Many of the people and organizations, especially the WSJ, attacking Willard 2016 are backing Dauphin Bush. They do not want to see the GOPe split. With that in mind please run Willard.

Exactly. Let Willard, Crispy, Jeb and Huck divide the RINO vote and money.

Cruz - Martinez 2106

Yep if Romney's last campaign proved anything it is that no one will go after “fellow Republicans” with more fervor vitriol and outright hatred than Mr. Mittens. Meanwhile he is setting a record for the number of flip-flops prior to running; either run or don't, but stop flip-floping.

To those who say he is our only hope: If he is so electable, why did he lose; after all 'electability' was his only quality.

I like the idea of both Jeb and Mitt destroying each other so that we can get a more conservative nominee.

The definition of insanity, according to Einstein, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Romney is the finest example of insanity.

Even Sarah Palin took a shot. “We need new energy,” the former vice presidential nominee told “Inside Edition.” “We need new blood. We need new ideas.”

Does this mean Palin is contemplating a run?

Run, Mitt, Run! 3rd Times a Charm! Knock out Jebster and Chrispy Cream! so a Conservative can take over—That or-—BECOME the Conservative Yourself! Make me believe you can be the New Reagan or step aside for a Ted Cruz.

Maybe enough Republicans will stay home again and elect another Democrat? I wouldn’t want to have taken part in that movement. Romney would have been far better for America than Barack. Thank the stay at home voters for this Obama/Jarrett mess.

Romney did have his shot. He was a mediocre candidate. Portrayed himself as a competent manager, but then his “Get out the vote” system totally failed on Election day (apparently, it had not been tested). Even worse, after he lost the election, he claimed he didn’t really want to be President anyway. And now he wants to run again? Give me a freaking break.

I say none of the above. I think we need to look outside Washington to someone who has actually gotten things done with a conservative agenda, like one of our fine Governors, say Walker, Kasich, Pence or Snyder.
