Dont dump on my dream, okay? I took enough abuse last night for being man enough to admit that a pizza with pigs in a blanket in place of the crust sounds kind of good, come to think of it. You know what else sounds good? A battle-royal primary where Marco Rubio is throwing chairs at Rand Paul and Scott Walker is smashing Ted Cruzs head into the turnbuckle and suddenly, Hey wait, thats Mitt Romneys music.
Im tired of being punished for my bravery in uttering difficult truths.

Mitt donor whisperer Spencer Zwick meets the press, says he'd
still like to see Romney run in 2016
11:25 PM - 11 Jun 2015
Let me paint you a picture. Its September. Several primary debates have already happened. Jeb is still flat at 15 percent. Everyone likes Rubio but few people like him enough to make him their top choice. Hes at 15 percent too. Walker is hit or miss, sounding good on unions, pandering on immigration, and occasionally incoherent on foreign policy. Hes at 15 percent as well. Meanwhile, the Ron Paul rEVOLution is coming home to Rand Paul. And Ted Cruz has been predictably impressive onstage at the debates and on the stump in rallying social cons. Theyre each also at 15 percent. Trump is in the race and has sucked away votes from more credible populists like Jindal and Perry. Fiorina is impressive, a protest-candidate outsider for people who dont like the business-as-usual top-tier but who also think Trump is a joke.
Imagine youre Mitt Romney, watching all of that, knowing that you could jump in tomorrow and immediately be at 20 percent in Iowa and New Hampshire. Remember, way back before Jeb Bush started hinting he might run, the rationale for a Romney 2016 candidacy was that he might be the only establishmentarian capable of keeping a right-winger like Cruz or Paul from winning the nomination. Rubio was impressive but inexperienced, and might not run. No one could say how Walker would play on the big stage once he had to take questions on national policy. Once Bush got in, the case for Romney 6.0 eased but only if Jeb performed as well as the donor class hoped and expected. If he raised a bundle but fell flat with voters, the urgency to find someone, anyone, who could hold off the tea-party hordes would only grow. Well, thats pretty much the state of the race right now. Walker has sounded shaky at times. Bush is flat. The only X factor is Rubio, whos charismatic enough on the stump and similar enough to Romney on policy that he might take off in the polls come fall and obviate the need for any Mitt-as-white-knight scenario. But what if he doesnt? What then?

The RNC and The Cheap Labor Express are getting desperate to get their amnesty candidate if they’re trying to ressurect their last designated loser.
Jebster is flaming out.
Rubio isn’t fooling anyone.
At this point, I’d rather he develop cancer so he can focus on something more productive, like his family.
There. I said it and I’ll probably regret it later..
They revealed their plan in the open. Are we going to fulfill their plan for them by destroying our best candidate?
It sure looks that way. It’s like roasting Ronald Reagan over a slow fire in 1979 for the few missteps he took as governor. I have a Plan B and a Plan C, so it’s really academic to me at this point.
I’m waiting for Bob Dole. But if John McCain or Mitt Romney jump in, they would be at the top of my list.
Speak for yourself. If Romney got the 2012 none of this King Obama's shi! would be happening and much of the Kings first term would have been reversed. This I'm sure you cannot admit. Romney didn't quit, some smart ass republicans just pelted him with real crap. If I was him I would have gotten damn tired of it too and said the hell with it.
What's that spell?
ROMNEY!
>>pelted him with real crap
As opposed to the Kolobian manure Myth’s Deseretian supporters keep pulling out of their salty arse?
Dole is announcing, on Monday, he is running. Bob Dole said in a statement the press, “If the GOP is going to pick another loser candidate it might as well be Bob Dole”
....”Romney operatives sow discord among the candidates so they destroy each other with Romney stepping into the limelight just in time for the final act”....
That’s exactly what he did in the last election where he ran....he let them destroy each other with supporters help..
Unfortunately his recent meetings are gaining him an audience and big ticket supporters under disguise of another lead-in to maintain his facade.....had 6 former Presidents attending as well.
HE’s playing like the Mormon church operates.
Romney didn’t quit, some smart ass republicans just pelted him with real crap. If I was him I would have gotten damn tired of it too and said the hell with it
I held my nose and voted for him, even though I did not believe anything he said because he has taken every position on every issue at some point.
He won the first debate.
Then he quit, not because of any criticism, but because he did not want to win. His son told us so after the election.
If he had won, the Gang of Eight bill would have been signed by Romney and the country would already be lost.
As it is we still have a fighting chance.
You are confused. NO Republican came at Romney as you
purport.
ALL the BACKSTABBING has been by Mr. RomneyCARE against
Gov. Palin in 2008 to throw the election to Obama,
for Obama and Mr. RomneyCARE’s partner.
Mr. RomneyCARE cowarded out in 2012 like a shaking wet
rabbit before Candy Crowley. He COULD have stood
his ground, but he only did to take the money at the end,
leaving supporters STRANDED without money to go home.
Absolutely true.
