Mitt Romney in 2016: Yes, or No?

Does it make sense for Romney t run again?


  • Total voters
    96
  • Poll closed .
Yeah, he was, but he also was very charismatic and a strong leader. Romney has the personality of a piece of cardboard. The GOP can do better, easily.

You believe Presidents should be elected based on their 'charisma' huh? America has become a celebrity culture, and this is the consequence.
 
Read my lips--no new taxes--both campaigning and policy--policy that cost Bush-41 his 2nd election.
The 47% remark was campaigning and policy--clearly defining the position of Paul Ryan's meme with makers and takers.
Romney's were prepared remarks and he went on and on about the 47%--not an accidental remark--and they cost him the election.

Clinton's remark was clearly in frustration with unprofessional badgering by the GOP House--something that is far from over--
certainly taken out of context--definitely has nothing to do with her campaigning but everything to do with the GOP's campaign to destroy her .

Being that Romney was correct makes no difference? That's what makes it difficult for politicians to be honest. Everyone claims they want honest politicians but then when they are they attack them for being so.
 
Huntsman may have been fine but he wasn't a candidate and, of the two available, most now feel Romney would have done a better job.

Which policies do you feel are "extreme right"?

It doesn't matter who is in office. People are still forgetting that train wreck in both The Senate and The Congress. Until people stop sending these fools back to Washington, there will never be anything ever getting done.
 
I stumbled across an article that talks about a possible third presidential campaign for Mitt Romney in 2016. Now before you role your eyes and pronounce this notion officially deceased. I encourage you to read the article below, first.

America needs Mitt Romney in 2016 - San Francisco Bay Area Moderate Conservative | Examiner.com

Depends on which Mitt Romney you are talking about: The pro-choice ex-Governor of Massachusetts or Mr. Etch a Sketch that sold his integrity to the extreme right-wing of the GOP in order to get their support.
 
I think he did win. Twice! Learn your recent history.

Yes, BHO won the election. But how has the country done since then? The sad fact is that rather many not very bright people voted for him, as we have seen, and it is the USA which lost as a consequence. The unions have to get out of the education biz so that more Americans can understand basic economics and history. If this continues then we are looking at one vast wasteland.

Nobody is required to make a smart choice. Citizens can vote for whoever they want to for whatever reason they want to. The losing side has to suck it up and deal with it.
What an astute observation! Yes, people are trying to deal with it.

Typical bull****. "Obama voters are stupid!"
 
I want him to run again just so that Ann Romney can cry bitter tears again when he loses again. She still has not experienced the "dignity of work" that Mitt Romney refers to: she has never had to earn a salary.

And one of the antonyms for "Dignity" is debased. Ann Romney is a debased individual.

Nice personal attacks on Ann Romney there. You left out the digs at her multiple sclerosis and the radiation treatments she had in 2008 for breast cancer.:roll:
 
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.

Or perhaps it's the electorate that sucks. Has that not occurred to anyone?
 
Mitt Romney is a fine man and would have been an excellent President. A loss for the country. He is/was perhaps the most qualified person in my lifetime to put himself forward for the nomination of either party. Unfortunately, while fighting for the Republican nomination he and his campaign sat by idly while Obama and the Democrats, with their media enablers, created a totally false identity of the man which he was unable to shake.

That said, Romney's time has passed and it would be foolish for him to spend time and money running a third time. Perhaps, in a Jeb Bush administration, there will be a senior secretary role for Romney if he still wishes to serve his country even more than he already has.

Please don't trip over your hyperbole. He was a one term governor of a medium-sized state; hardly the most qualified to run in your lifetime. Yes, he had an Ivy league JD and MBA, but we have had plenty of those. Obama is an lvy League JD.

Really, nothing worse then tripping over bad hyperbole; especially when you land and splatter it all over your face. Its just not very becoming.
 
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.
In fact they don't want the truth. It interferes with their beliefs.
 
I picked that I didn't really care who the RNC puts up. Not like it's going to make much of a difference anyway. Until they start paying attention to the Hispanic vote, they, like Romney, will be DOA every single time.
 
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.

Thanks for that. Why would you vote Hillary over Romney? What qualifications does she have that Romney lacks?

I'm in your shoes re: the bolded. And if there were no third party candidates, I would not vote.

That may well be but the question was "Which policies do you feel are "extreme right"? I see this term being used quite often and the question of what it actually means goes unanswered.

This is what good people are up against these days. The Romney's don't even have a blemish on their past. No drug use, no consorting with terrorists, no God Damn America, no political crony capitalism, but they are the ones who are always under personal attacks. Nothing to do with policies, it's just personal.

Oh, for ****'s sake. Yes, the poor, persecuted Republicans.
 
Righties complaining about what's said of Ann Romney after what their team has done 24/7 to Moochelle and Hitlery, not to mention their daughters. Well beyond a hypocritical joke. Oh, and "you people" have seen all you're gonna see on our taxes. Now play that sympathy card again on anyone's health problems .
