Will Mitt Romney Jump In?
Observer ^ | 08/31/15

As Jeb Bush struggles to carry the establishment mantle, some wonder whether the time is right for Mitt

There is on the edge of the spectrum a thought awakening that former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who ran for President in 2008 and 2012, might get back in the race. It comes naturally to think so. Before the race got seriously underway Mr. Romney met with Jeb Bush to consider their fates. Mr. Romney’s wife Ann went so far back then as to suggest on Cavuto that If Jeb ran, Mitt would stay out, as they both represented a similar center of establishment principles and would appeal to the same donor base. This past week, three of Mr. Bush’s key advisors have slipped away as Mr. Trump has made unprecedented advances in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, the three states, as former Governor of Texas Rick Perry has said recently, where the race to 2016 is to be won. As Mr. Trump rises, and the Real Clear Politics current average has him ahead of the pack in New Hampshire at 28.3 percent, he rises at the expense of Mr. Bush, who is at nine percent in the same poll. So as the “establishment” candidate, Mr. Bush, is suddenly being viewed as circling the drain, the frantic call goes out to Mr. Romney to enter and save the day. Read more at: http://tr.im/MgH4D

I’d think twice about it if I were you, Mitt.

It’ll be like Pee Wee Herman getting into the ring with Mike Tyson.

It does not take a genius to see the pattern. Just say ... Hell no!

Because we’ll vote for the Republican, no matter what. What other choice do we have? </s>

Ann Coulter will have a nervous breakdown.

What a dilemma for her! She's infatuated with her new beau, and the man of her dreams shows up again. What's a girl to do?!

We need someone who will campaign

Mitt threw away the election in 2012

when that seemed impossible for anyone to do

Let’s get someone who will campaign this time

It didn’t work THEN and it wouldn’t work now. Please stay away from this one Mr. Romney.

Would Romney jump in when one of his best friend’s is in the lead? He’d probably wait until he’s ready to leave.

Will Henry Kissinger jump in? Why not, 0bama’s credentials are more suspect. Yes, I know where Henry was born...

Nothing on earth could’ve convinced me to vote for Willard. He was a ringer to ensure Zero’s second “win.”

Glen Beck won’t save him this time.

It’s not Romney. It’s his crazy wife. She won’t ever give up. She ought to run herself. She might do better than people would expect.
