It's coming: Romney for president redux

The last two Republican candidates for president have been among the weakest GOP candidates in 50 years.
Barack Obama presented Mitt Romney with a gift in 2012: A struggling economy, sluggish growth, a paucity of jobs, and a health care law that was extremely unpopular.
In what should have been a landslide rejection of Obama's policies, Romney flubbed it big time and allowed his opponent to define him - and Republicans - in the most unlfattering way imaginable.
You would have hoped that Romney would have retired from the public arena and kept a low profile as other losers have done in the past. Instead, the last few months have seen the former presidential candidate raising his public profile considerably, while apparently courting big money donors which is generating speculation he may make another run in 2016.
And now, a new poll out of Iowa may put some fire in his belly.

The man is desperate for some reason, no one can figure out why he is in politics, but he has been running for office for more than 20 years, and has a single failed term to show for it.
Here is a little reminder of how flexible he is on politics.

Romney despised Reagan, and left the GOP because of him, and you want to compare the almost 70 year Romney to Ronald Reagan and his leadership of the conservative movement?

Blame anything, blame everything, changing demographics, pouty conservatives, ballot irregularities, blame all that.
But don't ever point out that voters won't vote for liberal republicans for president in the general election.
