Win Or Lose, A Third Party Run Would Be Mitt Romney’s Greatest Legacy [NeverTrump]
Daily Caller ^ | May 23, 2016 | Jamie Weinstein

Posted on 05/23/2016 10:08:58 AM PDT by C19fan

Mitt Romney may be the #NeverTrump movement’s last chance for a third party bid.

Anti-Trump conservatives have so far been unsuccessful in recruiting a candidate to mount a third party run against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Gen. James Mattis said no thanks. Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse said he is too busy raising his children to run for president. Former Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn said he is not interested.

I don't understand. It's on video that Romney loves and endorses Trump:

Mitt Romney On Tape Endorsing Donald Trump

So either Romney is one of the biggest bold-faced liar in the history of American politics -- right up there with the Clintons and Obama -- or he's off his meds.

If that would be Romney’s greatest legacy...that’s pretty pitiful.

So ensuring a Hillary Clinton Presidency would be Mitt Romney’s greatest legacy?


Sure! He ensured an Obama 2nd term. Might as well go for a two’fer.

On the Benghazi question, Romney turned and retreated. He never recovered.

AFAIK, he threw the election right there. At the very least, he did not fight. Not for himself, and not for those who died or were injured there.

Romney is smart enough to know he would get trounced.

He wouldn't be in it to win it. He would just be a spoiler at best.

What was beyond bizarre in Romney's 'retreat' was that he was getting NSA briefings. Romney wilted like a hot house lily. WHY?

Romney has already established his legacy: a loser.

The only “legacy” Mittens will have is one of lace trimmed pink panties failure as far as politics is concerned. Although he lost the election in 2012, he Probably could not have done worse than Obama if he won.

WHY?

You only turn tail when you either know you cannot or will not win. Or-when you are a coward.

He didn’t fight for those men. He proved he would not fight for the rest of ours right there.

Coward.

Trump has earned the nomination fair and square.

Romney could have entered the race if he felt 17 candidates wasn't enough. He didn't.

True but the question is would he draw more Reagan democrats away from Trump or more Hillary/Sander supporters that Trump is too conservative for?

Romney is so liberal, it’s not certain who Romney would be a spoiler for if anybody.

Voted for him in ‘12 simply because I believed at the time he was the lesser of two evils.If he goes 3rd Party I’ll know that I was wrong.

Anytime anyone brings up the need for a third party candidate, suggest that Bernie Sanders should run as a socialist since he only joined the democrats last year and it would give the alienated college kids someone to vote for.

When Frank Zappa wrote “Plastic People” he had Romney in mind. He even looks plastic.

Oh, there is a difference between Herself and Mitt all right. Herself wants to be President, and Mitt does not.
