Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, refused Sunday to rule out becoming the nominee again this year at a brokered convention, though he insisted he couldn’t imagine that happening.
“I don’t think anyone in our party should say, ‘Oh no, even if the people of the party wanted me to be president, I would say no to it.’ No one is going to say that,” Mr. Romney said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

More like, truly, the two's supporters together make a force to be reckoned with. But we are as bad as Cruz and Trump, at each other's necks.
That won’t happen.
And I saw the entire Chris Wallace interview. Romney wasn’t trying to be cute. He didn’t play coy.
I recall my dad saying “Never say ‘never’, always avoid ‘always.’”
That is what Romney was doing.
You’re right, of course ... their combined supporters could actually accomplish something. Sadly, I don’t see that as very likely.
Why did he file papers in Jan to run?
The GOPe once again proving that they’d rather lose to a Democrat than to a Conservative, which tells you who they feel they have more in common with.
I feel like we have a choice between Collectivist A and Collectivist B, and anybody that represents our values gets curb stomped by the other two. Frick and Frack. Humpty and Dumpty. There is no real choice.
I’m an easygoing guy. I have disliked much that has happened in this campaign, but now I am OUTRIGHT PISSED OFF.
I held my nose and voted for Romney once. I won’t do it a second time. If the ship of state is going to sink anyway, let it happen with the Dem’s flag flying from the jackstaff.
Push for the White House and the Congress and State Houses yes, but maybe it’s time to focus on getting the Democrats out of the GOPe.
After that ‘speech’ last week. I don’t think so.
I've been holding my nose in the general from '88 onward, and I'd do it again. But the good news is that I won't have to this time. The nominee will be either Cruz or Trump, and either way the Rockefeller wing gets screwed. THEY will have to hold their noses this time, just like they did in '80 and '84. Been way too long.....
For the first time in my life, I might be persuaded to riot.
File papers where and with who?
That’s exactly what they’re doing.
I don’t recall a lot of ‘fanboys’ on FR back then. There was a determination to back the nominee, but he wasn’t our first choice.
I think they get it and they’re punishing us for it by giving the election to Clinton.
Mitt Romney - The thing that wouldn’t leave.
Exactly. Cruz is a GOP pawn at the moment. They’re playing him to perfection.
They’ll never permit him to become POTUS.
then we can hang obama around your neck.
FEC and a second set reactivatind his old PAC.
Deny all you want but Minion is on the move.
I despise people who don’t take no for an answer.
I will write in for Trump or vote for him as an independent if he chooses to run as one.
I will rule out voting for you if that helps, Mittens?
