Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is thinking about supporting the Libertarian presidential ticket this year. Well, at least, that’s what the Libertarian ticket says.

In a interview Thursday afternoon with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, former Govs. Gary Johnson and Bill Weld, of New Mexico and Massachusetts, respectively, said they have had spoken with Romney and he was “considering the possibility” of endorsing the two of them.

Knock yourself out, Mitt. Who would even care who you endorse at this point?

The last time Mitt Romney “thought” - what a complete d-bag:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xd3kr-QpeM

[snip]

If we Republicans choose Donald Trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished.

[snip]

If Donald Trump’s plans were ever implemented, the country would sink into prolonged recession.

[snip]

His tax plan in combination with his refusal to reform entitlements and honestly address spending would balloon the deficit and the national debt.

[snip]

But you say, wait, wait, wait, isn’t he a huge business success? Doesn’t he know what he’s talking about? No, he isn’t and no he doesn’t.

[snip]

Frankly, the only serious policy proposals that deal with a broad range of national challenges we confront today come from Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich. One of these men should be our nominee.

[snip]

Mr. Trump’s bombast is already alarming the allies and fueling the enmity of our enemies.

[snip]

I’m afraid that when it comes to foreign policy he is very, very not smart.

[snip]

Now, I’m far from the first to conclude that Donald Trump lacks the temperament to be president.

[snip]

There is a dark irony in his boasts of his sexual exploits during the Vietnam War.

Dishonesty is Donald Trump’s hallmark.

[snip]

He’s not of the temperament of the kind of stable, thoughtful person we need as a leader.

[snip]

Think of Donald Trump’s personal qualities. The bullying, the greed, the showing off, the misogyny, the absurd third grade theatrics.

[snip]

There are a number of people who claim that Mr. Trump is a con man, a fake — thank you.

Let me say that again. There’s plenty of evidence that Mr. Trump is a con man, a fake.

[snip]

If I’m right, you’ll have all the proof you need to know that Donald Trump is indeed a phony.

[snip]

Mr. Trump is directing our anger for less than noble purposes.

[snip]

Here’s what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University.

[snip]

He’s playing the members of the American public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.

[snip]

His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president and his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill.

My goodness, Romney still thinks himself important (relevant) or something.

The Never Trumpers are leaning this way, but the polls showing them it hurts Hillary are stopping them, thus this story to test the waters. Just shows how little principle they actually have.

Johnson and Weld have for all intentions destroyed the Libertarian Party. Neither of them are Libertarians at all.
If the main founder, Dr. Murray Rothbard, were alive he would be appalled and livid.

What is a “Mitt Romney”? Is that something that induces vomiting?

Bob Barr (2008), Gary Johnson (2012) and Gary Johnson (2016).

The Libertarian Party hasn’t nominated an actual libertarian to be its presidential candidate in over a decade. They’re more pragmatic now.
