Mitt Romney won’t rule out accepting GOP nomination at contested convention
Washington Times ^ | 3/6/2016 | S.A. Miller

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.”

This is the equal of Kerry tossing out his name after the 2004 loss over dinner at his estate ER actually his wife’s. The conversation had a huge pregnant pause.

I guess they will have to change the rules (which they can do) because Mitt doesn’t have 8 states won or enough electoral thingies.

By all means, snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory, Mittens. You had you chance and blew it. I ate that excrement sammich and I can’t choke down another one.

The one thing that can unite Trump and Cruz supporters in an instant is Mitt Romney.

I would hate to have it just handed to me like that.

I would feel like a phony usurper.

Those guys have low low standards

I’ll say it right now. If the GOPe pulls shenanigans like this and puts a 2X loser like Romney up as the nominee, I won’t just not vote for him, I’ll vote against him. I’ll help sink the rotted carcass of the GOPe so deep you’ll need a bathyscaphe to locate the wreckage.

“Told ya. If they can get Trump out, they will remove Cruz in a heartbeat and say, “Gee, we need someone more ELECTABLE to run.” “

No. They will say Cruz isn’t eligible because with Trump out, Cruz takes the nomination. And with Cruz as the nominee, Conservatives will go to the polls and Cruz will become President. If anything, Cruz will run away with it because Bernie voters are most likely to stay home than vote for the establishment rat.

After the 2008 election there was a cartoon of a crab that looked like Romney peeking out from under some rocks. His recent actions reminded me of that cartoon, wish I could find it.

He should be checked out. I can’t think of a more delusional notion. He has lost his mind. We hated him before he became a liberal pimp. What on Earth could he be thinking?

The only reason Goldwater lost so badly was that the RINOs were stabbing him in the back the entire time. This is nothing new. Yet without his run there would have been no Reagan.

Lots of people on FR refuse to see it, or argue that it can't happen. Well, they can't say that they haven't been warned.
