New information is surfacing about Mitt Romney and his 2016 plans following the 2012 presidential candidate's nationally-covered speech on Thursday morning.
The former Mass. Governor and Republican nominee for President spoke out against Donald Trump, calling the Republican front-runner a "phony" and "fraud." He urged Republicans to unite behind another candidate, yet declined to indicate which candidate he would be supporting.
An in-depth look at Romney's campaign finance activity, however, shows that the former candidate may be gearing up to take another shot at the White House.
In late January and early February of 2016, Romney's campaign finance entities, which by law are subject to FEC regulations, were both reactivated with amended campaign statements.
FEC records indicate that Romney's former campaign committee, Romney for President, and Romney's affiliated PAC, Romney Victory Fund, were both reactivated earlier this year, making them legally able to solicit donations and organize for his presidential campaign.
The above FEC documents can be found on the FEC websites here and here.
The Christian Times Newspaper spoke with several campaign finance professionals and campaign finance attorneys to further understand this move.
One told us that Romney "would only be making these changes" if he in fact "was going to run for President in 2016."
Another, a former McCain finance staffer indicated that this evidence shows "without a doubt" that Romney has plans to run as a Republican this year.
In the days and weeks following Romney's Trump-bashing, it will be interesting to see whether or not the 2012 candidate makes any further moves to run in 2016.
“The GOPe crony-criminals would prefer a Democrat establishment President to a Republican outsider President.”
Yep!!!
I personally do not think Trump should do anymore debates, he goes in trying to act presidential and all they do is attack!!! He doesn’t need to do these debates any longer! He should hold an individual news conference and answer all the questions reporters have of him!!! He SHOULD NOT be humiliated in this way ANY LONGER!!!!
Remember they asked them to say they would support the GOP nominee?
Im more convinced now than at any time recently that the presidency is gonna be handed to hitlery.
The only one who can stop her is trump and he will eventually go down in flames if this continues.
NO ONE CAN WITHSTAND THE KIND OF PRESSURE DONALD IS UNDER.
Just tweeted it to his campaign manager.
“Time for Trump and Cruz to form their PAC.”
I think Cruz would rather fellate Romney as VP than Trump.
I am VERY SORRY then! PLEASE accept my apology !!!
Agree.
Yes....all planned by the GOPee/Open Borders cabal.
Let’s see who (MSM and the GOP candidates) calls mittens out, for this latest dirty trick.

I completely concur! These faux debates are pure bull sh*t!
After the last one, I think most people who’ve been following this primary and debates would wholeheartedly agree with his decision. I think it would actually garner him more support. We the people love it when Trump gives the GOPe and the MSM the middle finger!
NO MORE DEBATES!
Umm he can only beat trump by cheating.
Yep. I knew it was a trap.
Maybe the best answer would’ve been....I’ll support the GOP nominee who is voted for by the people....not by convention, or any other dirty tricks.
Okay...who? Trump? GOP?
Thanks.
Romney would find out what massively losing far more than before, is all about.
Yes....all planned by the GOPee/Open Borders cabal.
Lets see who (MSM and the GOP candidates) calls mittens out, for this latest dirty trick.

If Ted wants his “only principled conservative” moniker to stick, he’d better get our their and denounce this Bull sh*t by the GOPe and Mittens!
Who knew it may have been Romney they were asking about, not Trump?
The level of deception is chilling.

Two sodomites and a mormon are riding in a plane....
GLOVES ARE OFF
Trump needs to start accepting campaign contributions.
With LOSER Mitt entering the race all bets are off.
Trump would collect record MILLIONS in 24 hours and show them how it is done.
Trump needs to know his supporters will only support him more. Bernie Sanders collects record small donations which total in the Millions.
Fight fire with fire. Trump needs to hold a press conference tomorrow and say he is not going to accept donations as he is the messenger and so many people will be disappointed if he doesn't start showing more ads in social media, TV and on the radio.
Trump needs to do it. NOW
Collect the money Trump and use it to expose the Rinos. Do it for We the People
His friends are insistent that he does it. He needs to open up wethepeoplefortrump.org to collect millions and use it against every RINO including Mitt.
Yep. I knew it was a trap.
Maybe the best answer wouldve been....Ill support the GOP nominee who is voted for by the people....not by convention, or any other dirty tricks.

But at the time of the debate, Mittens hadn’t submitted his campaign paperwork yet...did he? Even if he did, Trump surely has thought about this, and has an out I’m sure.
