Mitt Romney, the GOP’s 2012 nominee, is among those courting prospects for a possible third-party bid to keep Donald Trump from the White House, according to a Washington Post report .

Among those prospects are Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), one of Trump’s most vocal Republican critics, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who suspended his presidential campaign in early May.

Kasich’s chief strategist John Weaver said the governor isn’t interested in running an an independent.

A Sasse spokesman declined to comment.

But it’s not looking to good for a late in the game third-party bid, according to the report.

Deadlines have passed to get on the ballot in big states like Texas, though organizers argue a legal challenge there would be successful.

You Freepers need to plan ahead and get elected Democrat.

Just need ONE of you to run 3rd party to pull votes away from Hillary. Do what your enemy Mitt is doing to you now. Conservatives should get elected to both parties so someone can sacrifice as a vote splitter and take down your foe.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Mitt for Hillary!

Romney following through with this is additional evidence that supports claims that he threw the last election. It also suggests he knew all along that he would throw that election. Now he wants to throw this one.

The point: we shouldn’t beat ourselves up about that last election.

If it was intentionally thrown, then no amount of support for Romney over Obama would have mattered.

Rmoney is despicable!

Romney is an ahole.

U Da Man !

"Willard Romney is a bad man, Anthony." "Wish him out to the cornfield."

[katykelly]

So you prefer Obama ?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Romney, smarting from Trump’s comments about Mitt being a choke artist and choking like a dog. LOL!

[Diogenesis]

The important thing is that ROMNEY prefers Obama.

Threw the Elections of 2008, 2012 and working hard
for the DNC in 2016.

The proven-RAT Romney is a undocumented
Democrat (Mexico, CA, NH, Mich, Utah, ...)

[tet68]

Is he running again?
Of course not, we have a candidate.
Any efforts to derail his chances
will fail. Ironic to watch the establishment
chasing it’s tail for the umpteenth time.
However, money spent will help the economy
while doing nothing to stop Trump2016.

Wow. That’s for the information. And good to know!

[GOPJ]
