As far as I’m concerned, Romney was the only person running from the git go who has the intelligence and experience to actually be a good president.

There are far better candidates than Willard that didn't run.

“There are far better candidates than Willard that didn’t run.”

Operative words “didn’t run”. Candidates are those who RUN. Those who folks dream about running aren’t candidates.

"There are far better candidates than Willard that didn't run."

Second, those that didn't run probably didn't because of the skeletons in their closets (and this was likely Thompson's problem too)
