Can’t quit Mitt: Friends say Romney feels nudge to consider a 2016 presidential run

-SNIP-

Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee and now the tacit head of the Republican Party, visited Iowa as part of a feverish nationwide tour designed to help the GOP take control of the Senate.

-SNIP-

Romney is grappling with this question: If drafted, would he answer the party’s call?

-SNIP-

Former aides and senior Republicans say Romney appreciates the GOP masses crowing that he was right about issues such as Russia and health care. But what really intrigues him, they said, are the vulnerabilities among top-tier candidates in the Republican field. If Romney moves toward a race, it would be because he sees a path to victory.

-SNIP-

“It’s the market pulling him,” said Kent Lucken, a longtime friend and adviser who accompanied Romney to Iowa. “People look at Hillary as the likely Democratic nominee, and the party needs a strong leader who can stand up to her and who’s been through the process.”

-SNIP-

Many Romney boosters believe that his window of opportunity will be in mid- to late 2015, should Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) or Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) ascend and party establishment types turn to Romney as a savior.

“He’s the only qualified person to run this time,” Chidester said. “Mitt is a business genius. That’s why I’ve listened to this tape three times. He had it all down — he had Russia down, he had the debt down — and all the other Republicans are novices by comparison.”

The WaPo sure is eager to push Mitt into making another disastrous run.

[WestCoastGal]

He would have been a million times better than Obozo.

[leapfrog0202]

"He’s the only qualified person to run this time,” Chidester said. I think not.

[Darksheare]

There are people intent on pushing him on us again.

[greyfoxx39]

Mitt ping

[fwdude]

He would have been a millionth times better than Obozo.

Fixed.

[Jane Long]

Um, maybe fifty times better.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Here are the real leaders.

[GeronL]

If it looks like a conservative might win, he will run interference.

But we are supposed to support the anti-conservative Republicans without criticism.

[GeronL]

lol

[Diogenesis]

Rat Romney will backstab EVERY conservative
like the last three (3) elections.

Romney is the scum that created Obama,
ObamaCARE, and the rest.

And he defines the GOP - the GIVE.Obama.POWER. party

[GeronL]

1.00000002 times better, possibly

[Darksheare]

Yeah, homosexual marriage, gun bans, higher taxes, liberal judges that he appointed, romneycare/Obamacare, illegal immigration/amnesty, yeah, so much better.
How was he any different?
Only difference: republican and white.

[2ndDivisionVet]

So would I or someone randomly chosen out of the Des Moines phone book.

[DoughtyOne]

Mitt, have mercy...

Cruz!

Will everybody please stop “nudging” Mitt!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Willard serves a single purpose: to make sure no Conservative gets the GOP nomination. So did McQueeg.

[DoughtyOne]

Still would have sailed amnesty right by. I’ll bet you’d be surprised what else he would have done that Obama did. National RomneyCare. That was a given.

Neither of these men deserved to be president of our republic.

[silverleaf]

QUIT MITT

for godsake QUIT
You are a proven LOOSER

[fieldmarshaldj]

Nudge him off a cliff.
