A former staffer, who asked to remain unidentified, said a conference call with Romney was expected to be held at mid-morning on Friday, and that he might give a signal as to which way he was leaning.

“If Mitt is the nominee the media will gleefully join the Democrats in going full-throated Class Warfare on him. He’ll get squashed like a bug.”

you are right, as the MSM will never mention Chels’ 10 million dollar crash pad in Manhatten, nor Bill/Hill’s pies-de-terre in New York and Washington.

No.

God didn't remove His presence from me because of who won, which wouldn't make sense. He did it because I deliberately ignored His leading after repeatedly asking for it.

Romney has decided not to run.

so, you, diogenes and others on FR can now let out a sigh of relief, as it will be Jebbie vs Hillarious. And once Hillarious is crowned, hopefully, you won’t experience a similar detachment from God that you attributed to your 2012 vote for romney.
