Mitt Romney Not Running for President in 2016

Mitt Romney announced Friday he will not run for president in 2016, after briefly flirting with a third White House run -- a decision that only slightly narrows the crowded field of potential Republican candidates.
"After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I've decided it's best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become our next nominee," Romney told donors on a conference call Friday morning.
The announcement comes after the 2012 GOP nominee, who repeatedly denied interest in another campaign, surprised donors earlier this month by telling them he was considering it.
Since then, the former Massachusetts governor spent three weeks calling donors and strategists and giving a handful of addresses, including to a Republican National Committee summit. But while some from his former campaign team were willing to wait for his decision, others were already gravitating toward the budding campaign of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

That is an outcome of the deal made between him and Bush. It is better for the Gopes if there is only one major gope running. He can lay back in the early primaries and use his cash shotgun to destroy the conservative candidates one by one while not contending in his own right, Then in the later primaries when the conservatives are all dropped out or too muddy for the voters, he will win as the last man standing. Then in November he will give it to the Democrat whomever that might be. The Democrats know this and will not worry about electability but will front the most ideologically fanatic candidate they have.
That, of course, assumes we make it to the end of the Sultan's official term.

So, Mitt “Bob Dole II” Romney is not running.
Is Hillary “Ted Kennedy II” Clinton still running?

Jeb must have promised Mitt something at their pow wow.
wait Jeb will meet with Christie too, maybe even huck and they will pull out.
Its conservatives that dont do this and so we split our vote and never get a conservative nominated
We need to pick just one conservative to run or get steamrolled like last two campaigns with Rove and GOPe picking another Rino.

Actually, I was hoping he would run and split the RINO vote.

The RINO establishment is preparing to give the Republican Party a Jeb Bush enema. The fix is almost in.

Thank you SO VERY MUCH, Mitt Romney.
Now if we can just get rid of Jeb.
I am pretty sure Christie can’t win.
