… Using This One Weird Trick! It seems as if everybody’s down on the idea of Mitt Romney running for president again. Even establishment Republicans who aren’t part of the vast Bush claque seem to be hostile. President Obama’s aides mocked Romney’s interest in income inequality, per Politico:
(SNIP)
“It’s simply never going to be believable to go from car elevators, off-shore accounts and his famous 47 percent comment to the populist income equality warrior.”…
(SNIP)
After all, there’s one obvious, simple move Romney could make to turn the mockery around, jujutsu style, in a way that would give him a decent outsider’s chance.
Romney could live like an average person.
(SNIP)
He could pick one (a smaller, low-maintenance one) and stay away from the others.
It would be painful — but that, of course, is the point. Romney might have to shop at Trader Joe’s. Great press! He could work on his small talk, maybe even learn something. It wouldn’t be like a movie star living on food stamps for a week. It’s not a diet. He’d have to make it until November, 2016.
(SNIP)
It would all be a pretty good story, if you think about it: Former high-rolling hotshot forced to humble himself and claw his way back against a new self-anointed prince (Jeb). Redemption! I’m sure there is a Hollywood movie or two with this plot, probably starring Sean Connery. (Help me out here.) The more Romney’s party’s establishment turned on him, the more delicious the dramatic tension. In the final scene he could destroy Jeb in debate with a furious volley of zingers! Any Romney traction would drive Bush’s royal court crazy, which would alone be worth it.

Romney’s standing within the GOP is based on respect for him and a well-founded belief that the country would have been better off if he had won in 2008. The primary impediment to another Romney candidacy is not his wealth but doubt as to whether he can make a persuasive case for his nomination and election based on his policy and ideology. With more self-awareness and cleverness, Romney could point out that his wealth is earned and that he wants to make it possible for Americans to have greater opportunity to prosper.

He could come back as a Democrat. He’d be a great one.
He was afraid to take on Obama because Obama was a liberal.
come back? he never got here in the first place. all he can do is go away. please do.
I ran into Mitt in September at the dump. He was bringing his trash by himself (must have been closing up the summer house), no TV crew, just Mitt and his van.
He didn’t have to do that (obviously).
Mitt should run—or at least tell us why he would be a good president—Tell us what he would do—Up front. Real answers—no showly stunts—we are beyond that. What would he do to answer these Questions:
1. Fix the border
2. Fix the Illegal problem
3. Fix helthcare—what dump Obamacare—replace it with what?
4. What would he do about IS?
5. What about Putin?
6. What about the debt?
7. What about the race thing? how can he unit us?
8. What about Iran’s Nuke?
Give us some real answers—Besides that—tell us who you would put in your cabinate—who would be your VP—how would use use Trump? Palin? Give your program a name like “The Fair Deal” or the “New America” or something catchy. Outline your 100 days and why America should back you. Its not enough to be a “Good Guy” or anything—you got to be not Mitt Romney—but Super Mitt leading us to Truth, Justice and the American Way.
