Former Trump advisor: Romney thinking about getting in
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/23/2015 | Curt Mills

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.

Further proof that the GOPe and the ‘rats are wings of the same party. RINOmney has to get in to keep the plan on track.

Why not? McCain and Dole are also available. And G. Bush Sr. is still eligible to run.

J. Carter still available for the rats too.............................................if they hurry.

I’m thinking:

Pot or Kettle

I take Trump/Cruz. I’m tired of losing gracefully.

Does the GOPe really believe there is a ounce of difference in Yeb & Mittens?

That Romney could steal Trump supporters.

On what planet?

Wouldn’t Romney split the Jeb vote?

I can't think of any candidate who Romney would hurt more than Jeb. If Mitt actually thinks he can peel off some of Trump's support, he hasn't been paying attention.

Romney thinking about getting in

It seems logical, with Hillary losing ground. Who else are the Dems going to put up? Joe Biden? Sanders? Jerry Brown? Wassername Shulz?

If so, does this mean Jebbie will exit center stage immediately, or linger on still?

I really hope so. And if Romney gets the nomination I want to see him go down in flames... AGAIN!
