Mitt Romney in 2016: Yes, or No?

Does it make sense for Romney t run again?


  • Total voters
    96
  • Poll closed .
That's right. And yet, Romney still lost. he lost because the DNC and most of the silly Centrists were too dumb to see the superior candidate.

Yeah, only people who listen to Rush Limpjaw and Faux Noise are smart enough to glean the superior candidate. :roll:

I don't need Rush Limbaugh or Fox news to tell me that Romney would've made such the better president, and neither do you.

Romney the hair dying contact wearing flip-lopping phoney? I doubt it.
 
Romney would have made a better president than Obama but he still would have sucked.

That's the reality we're faced with in America today when choosing between the two major political parties.

They both suck and pretty much all members in both parties would pimp out their own children to further their political ambitions.

No, Romney the hard charging, self-made, millionaire who is a true executive in chief.

Like I said, he was the least terrible of the GOP's candidates. But he still was mediocre.

And so much better than Barack Obama, the Democrats' preferred choice.

Self made? Gawd you people--PT Barnum was right.

You really mean the guy born on third base who you think hit a triple.

...by the time his father died, in 1995, Mitt Romney was already a very wealthy man, thanks in large part to the many advantages he enjoyed as the son of a prominent politician and corporate executive. Romney could afford, at that point in his life, to give away his father’s estate. (To charities and, notably, to his children — both common means of avoiding the brunt of the estate tax.) He gave his father’s estate away because he’d already enjoyed its many advantages...

Romney spent only a year at Stanford, and finished his degree at the less prestigious Brigham Young, at which point he was accepted into Harvard Law and then the very exclusive joint law/business degree program. When that happened, his father, by the way, was a cabinet secretary.

And of course while Romney was getting his degree, he didn’t have to do anything rash like “go into debt” or “work,” because, as Ann Romney helpfully explained in 1994, the young couple survived by selling stock Romney received from his father. At BYU: “Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time.”

don't hate, calamity. Mitt Romney took what was left to him by his father and created an even bigger fortune. It's the American dream, right? I mean, it's the American dream if you're not an unwitting slave to excessive governmental supervision.
 
Mitt and Hillary. The best we can do. How pathetic.


Maybe this is the time a third party has a real chance.

I'm just calling your lie--Romney is about as self-made as GWB.

I'll stick with Romney for now.

Romney founded Bain Capital in 1984 with 2 partners, a spin off from his employer Bain & Company. Prior to 1984 he had a very successful career in management consulting. He most certainly is self-made.

That is your vote and everyone should be able to vote for the candidate they want.

Don't want to hear voting the lesser of the two evils or the suggestion that one's vote allowed another candidate to win.

If Romney is your man, then fine. I just want to wait and see if there is a reasonable third party candidate. Am personally tired of the Dem Rep show.

His daddy never gave him a dollar, eh?

Believe whatever you want to believe.
 
You lying is much more offensive.
Only I'm not lying. His work with Bain, alone, is enough to garner him that designation. He forged a spin-off which landed him a partnership with Bain instead. He's taken what he was given and improved his situation. Don't hate on self-made people.

You aren't lying. Romney ended up substantially more wealthy than his father, and the bulk of Romney's wealth came from Bain, which had nothing to do with his father. People can't stand the truth.
 
He ran and lost last time, it's not a good idea to try to run a losing candidate twice, especially for the presidency.
 
Would you prefer Hillary Clinton?

To Mitt Romney?

Yes.

Now, understand, I would vote third-party in a Hillary/Romney race because I don't want either one of them anywhere near the Oval Office.

But if there were no third-party candidates at all, and I had to vote for one of the two, I'd vote for Hillary.

I can't believe anyone would suggest a Romney, Clinton or Bush.

It is a billion dollar investment in the running of a candidate for president. I don't think investors would want to invest in a loser or one with a tainted name.
But then again we aren't dealing with very intelligent peiople as the past has proven to be.
 
By the media, younger votes. The stereotype of Republicans is old, white men. The stereotype for Democrats is young, hippie freaks, right? Romney plays into the stereotype, thus making him an easier target to run against.
No, the stereotype for Democrats are people who don't understand history, economics or anti American propaganda.

If the electorate are goofy enough to fall for this low form of leftist propaganda then they deserve what they get. Hard as it is to accept because they are a good people, America deserved Barrack Obama.
