I call BS, I’m sure it was no fun for him to flush all that money down the toilet.

Did that once? He did that and lost twice, despite a lifetime’s planning for it—and then spent this last cycle doing everything he could as a poor loser to try to sabotage the nominee.

I can’t believe I actually worked for this guy’s gubernatorial election in MA back in the day. He turned out to be a two-faced, overpreening and overambitious, cancer on the sickly MA GOP and citizenry.

Yech!

If it even crossed Romney’s mind to run again, then he’s nuts.

Why does this man, who had an opportunity keep America from the tragedies to freedom and liberty over the past four years, not just step back and accept his irrelevance?

Early in his campaign in 2012, one of my FR posts )(March 18, 2012) is quoted below:

"The so-called "testy" and unpresidential interview response on Fox follows several others in the past.

What could have been a "teaching moment" for youth on the merits of freedom of individual enterprise and liberty, turned into a petty self-focus and plays right into Obama's campaign narrative on the 1% for an Obama-Romney fight.

Romney's campaign words focus on issues, without grounding in principles.

Will some supporter of Romney provide real examples from his own words, prior to this campaign, which provide proof that he has incorporated the principles underlying our Declaration of Independence and Constitution into his speeches and actions over the past several decades?

If not, then what is it that makes them believe Romney to be the most qualified candidate to take on an incumbent President whose entire adult life has been dedicated to the principles of redistribution and government rule over people?

It's one thing to argue about issues. Anyone can do that.

What's required between now and November is a patriot who can articulate, explain, and defend the principles essential to freedom for individuals in a society.

That's why ordinary people are not convinced that Romney should be the one person standing between their grandchildren's imminent descent into slavery to government, as opposed to a new day of freedom for rising generations.

Oh, how we need a Washington or a Jefferson!" (End of quote)

Why bother?

Romney got 206 Electoral votes against one of the weakest incumbents in presidential history.

The RINO gov who opposes private ownership of AR, etc, type rifles, who gives fags a big sloppy kiss cause they're so persecuted, and who also supports the wholesale slaughter of the unborn as long as the murderous mother can rationalize it in her own mind.

That's who. Piece of human filth. They's trash

No he wasn’t.
_______________________________

I’ll never get over the “fact” that he was behind the Palin smear campaign.

He truly has screwed with at least the last three presidential cycles.

First he back door screwed McCain by smearing Palin.

Then he sat back and practically handed to win to Obama.

And now.....him and his group of never Trumpers have worked non-stop to smear Trump.

The guy is an a-hole and NOT a conservative. IMO, Romney has worked harder to destroy the republican candidates chances at a win than practically anyone on the left.

Yes, because owning a car garage with an actual elevator for the cars is such a great way to bond with the average American.

Pure sh*t.

Why do Mormons put up with him and Huntsman and McMuffin and Reid.

What is wrong with that religion?

Because he is a freaking loser who stood no chance of getting the nomination. I doubt if he could have beaten Jeb or Graham.

No he is not.
He is behind the Egg McMuffin effort to cost Trump the election.

And there’s no evidence in his recent words and actions that he learned from the experience; ditto the GOP establishment.
