Former Trump advisor: Romney thinking about getting in

Colorful former Trump advisor Roger Stone thinks 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney is thinking about getting back in the presidential race. Stone tweeted his suspicion, and told CNN he had heard that Romney was considering a run from his sources.

The move could indicate Romney sees an opportunity to better confront and challenge front-runner Donald Trump. Some see current establishment standard bearer former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as flailing. Trump has mocked Bush for being "just flat" on the campaign trail and Sunday called him a "low energy" candidate.

Romney publicly considered a third run as recently as January, but decided against it, after he lost most of his valuable donor base to Bush, and the massive prospective Republican field proved too unpredictable.

Good idea. We need as many ‘Country Without Borders” guys as we can fine running for President.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!! ROMNEY, LOSER EXTRODINAIRE!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!

[HandyDandy]

Trump is crazy but I’m voting for him. The sane people are killing us.

Spoken like a true Amercan. There's hope yet!

[Ann Archy]

Trump is the ONLY one so far that will NAIL the Leftist Media to the wall!!! THAT, I love!! Might even vote for him for that reason!! He has a SET.

Piss on Romney; he’s the only person who could make me support trump ( who is a fake).

[McGruff]

Jeb was supposed to be the chosen one. If Romney is thinking about it Jeb’s numbers must really look bad.

Yo Milt! The Communist is still president only b/c YOUR CAMPAIGN SUCKED! Get lost!

[kempster]

I still think this is about favorite son votes being taken from non establishment candidates in their respective states. Once the nons
drop they can lead the voters back to the loser establishment. Don’t let them win.

[Kirkwood]

Mitt could run as a democrat. They’ll get a better candidate than Hillary, and republicans will win for sure. Everyone is happy.

[mr_hammer]

My thoughts exactly...

[duffee]

What would the GOP-E gain by splitting the rino Bush/Kaisch vote?

[NTHockey]

Just when we thought it could not get worse than Clinton v. Bush. Are you kidding me, Biden v. Romney?
Heck, why not run Roger Rabbit v. Mickey Mouse?

[Nervous Tick]

Romney doesn’t have enough fire in his belly. Come to think of it, he doesn’t have ANY fire in his belly.

Trump would eat Romney for breakfast like a bowl of milk-toast.

[uncitizen]

Maybe the establishment is regretting that they chose Jeb over Romney...

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Trump will chew him up and spit him out faster than you can say “RINO fever.” It would be fun to watch.

[9YearLurker]

But haven’t they already forked big money over to Jeb’s PACs? What would he be able to do with it if he dropped out of the race?

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

That religion from “Rome”.

I think you mean that religion from Germany.

I suspect the GOPe powers-to-be are thinking that Romney could be a potential Establishment Vote Aggregator, who can suck up all of the loose votes attributable to the individual establishment types running as of today. Separately, none of them stands a chance, but as they drop out and their voters go over to Romney, he could claim significant numbers. Of course, the few non-establishment candidates are doing exceptionally well right now, compared to the many establishment types, but the GOPe may be thinking about the future and that not remaining the case.

Romney as SecEd??? What an awful thing to do to American children already unfortunate enough to be trapped in gummint skewels!

[BlackElk]

Or Harold Stassen or Liberty Bell Lemke?
