"I get asked on a regular basis, 'Boy, why aren't you running this year?' I ask myself that a lot too. But I did that once," Romney said.

He made self-deprecating jokes about his loss to President Barack Obama in 2012, borrowing a line from Democrat Walter Mondale, who lost to Ronald Reagan in the 1984 presidential election: "All my life I wanted to run for president in the worst way, and that's what I did."

He laughed about how much fun he had running in the 2012 race, encouraging the audience at an event hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, "If you get the chance to run for president, do it."

Funny you should say that, Mr. Romney, because almost no one else is wondering about it. We have moved on, as the saying goes. Too bad you seem stuck on envy and sabotage. Not very Christian of you I might add. No one is fooled with your show of righteous indignation and pearl clutching.

We know you well enough. You’re like a kid outside the candy store with your face mashed flat against the glass. You look inside and see some fat kid eating up all the candy and you just can’t handle it.You had your time inside the candy shop, and you barely ate anything. You barely used your power without apologizing first.

Because him and Jeb would have been confused for a two-headed RINO.

Maybe Romney now realizes he did not have the backbone to tell it like it is. Trump does.

Has Mittens forgot about the meeting he had with the Bush’s just before announcing he was not going to run?

The Bush Clan told him to sit this one out because Jeb had it in the bag ..... and so he did!

Typical MSM playbook: The only good Republican is yesterday’s Republican. Today’s Republican is always a Nazi, a racist, a moron, a woman-hater, a Neanderthal, and a grandma-killer.

Yep, I remembered how suddenly everybody LOVED Bob Dole after he lost to Clinton.
