Mitt Romney: Hey, I'm Just Sayin', My Family Is Really Pushing Me to Run for President
I think he's beginning to realize he could have run and he would have won.
“My wife and kids wanted me to run again this time,” Mr. Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, said this week at the “Aspen Ideas Festival.” “I’ve got some kids — I got an email from one of my sons yesterday saying ‘you gotta get in, Dad — you gotta get in,’ ” he said.

You will not appeal to people who picked Trump as a big FU to the GOPe.
You'll just ensure that they stay home and Hillary wins.

Mitt Romney is a good man, a good husband and father. He would make a good president of all the people. He would bring us together again as a nation. He has a kind heart, a good heart, and a good head. He knows business and he knows people.
This maybe our last chance to save the country and return the US to those good values that made the US a good country.
I maybe out of line speaking up like this, but I believe that we need Mitt Romney for goodness sake.

He came very close to unseating a popular (yes) incumbent. His endgame was poor, to be sure, but the notion that "he didn't run" is absurd.

The Left revels in its newly-found ability to roam to and fro over the political battlefield; though it might not seem like it, I assure you that the flanks have collapsed. Complete annilihation is going to happen in about ten years. You will have no say in this nation anymore unless you make it impossible to ignore you; you will have to decide how to accomplish that, and what your intentions will be: accept it, or fight.

Goodness ain't going to save us if we lose. There's no honor, no glory in losing a spirited fight with a dishonorable opponent. They're not going to be gracious in victory. We already know that. This is an existential election here, and I just don't think Romney's got what it takes to win a Presidential election. He's too nice. Obama clobbered him, and Hillary would do the same.

I think many Republicans could have run against Hil and won fairly easily. Romney would have offered a particularly sharp contrast of character, even if his policies aren't as Conservative as one might like.
By the way, has Mike Lee been declared a Hil-loving Democrat for raging against Trump?

The first question is "does the candidate have a chance to win." That has to take precedence over how good a president someone would make. If Romney couldn't show some passion and balls in the 2012 campaign after Benghazi, what makes you think he will be different now?

This is the process that frightens me.
Conservatives say, "I'm going to vote Trump, who is terrible, because he's a bit better then Hil."
But people don't like voting for someone loathsome. So they start trying to justify that Trump isn't THAT bad. He's OK. The real baddies are the people opposing him.
And soon "lesser evil" becomes "supporting Trumpism"
This certainly doesn't happen in everyone, but its a natural human reaction to being faced with a horrible choice.
A Conservative voting for Trump shouldn't feel good about it. I may vote for him and I certainly hope I feel miserable. The thing to do is to pull the lever and then immediately resume criticizing him.

He got beat by binders of women. He was gonna take all the birth control away. He killed women with his cancer death ray eyes. He tortured his dog. He over saw Orca. He never fought back
Romney was also going to take away all the tampons. A satirical site came up with that one expecting some feminists to laugh, and instead the idiots took the meme seriously and spread it around to the extent even the original (far Left) site had to disavow it.

Romney as tone deaf as ever. In the year of the Middle Finger to Upper Class Twits election, he trots outhis now burgeoning silliness at the Aspen Ideas Festival which sounds a bit like a Bilderberg weak sister for the masses.
From Wikipedia RE Aspen Ideas Festival: "Past AIF speakers include President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Ehud Barak, Madeleine Albright, Murray Gell-Mann, Sylvia Earle, Stephen Breyer, Sandra Day O'Connor, Eric Holder, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, David Frum, Salam Fayyad, and Paul Ryan."

Yeah, but a whole lot of his fire still seems to be directed at members of his own party - last night he declared candidates who don't hold to the pledge and support him - candidates like Cruz - should never hold public office again. Trump, of course, declared the pledge null and void a long time ago.
Posted by: person at June 30, 2016 07:03 PM (mFkVC)
It's over. It may not be a vanity play for him or, perhaps, it's exactly that, but it's over either way.
His hesitation to act, and to act with purpose, only confirms that he has not done the one thing that I said would be required of him before I'd ever consider voting for him again. That one thing is to fight like hell.
Sure, he bitched and moaned and was a minor annoyance re Trump, but that's not fighting.
I wanted to see the kind of fight that one undertakes when a stranger enters one's home: When one's family... country.... way of life are in jeopardy. In that circumstance one does not invite the danger in for a cup of Earl Grey, and I'm afraid that Romney would do just that.
He simply does not have it in him and I hate that fact.

Pundits are "surprised" that Bill Clinton wouldn't realize that this could jeopardize his wife's investigation.
Does everyone forget that Bill Clinton was impeached by Congress for lying in a deposition to Federal investigators and to the american public regarding an affair he had with an intern. Subsequently, he was disbarred in the state of Arkansas for that same lie and fined. The Supreme Court then disbarred him from ever arguing in front of the court.
This is not someone who worries about legal issues. For the most part, he and his wife have always managed to slither out of legal issues with an occasional fine.

Which is what I think most politicians who say they are Republicans want.

There seems to be this lack of understanding that the largest voting bloc in the GOP are Trump supporters. They may not be a complete majority (although I think they are), but together they are at least a large plurality.
It is also unlikely that Cruz supporters would back Romney either until it was clear their candidate would lose. What about Rubio's supporters considering the man crush they have for pool boy?
BTW - When did Romney become the magic politician who if only he gets in will win it all? He blundered against McCain, had a rough time with Santorum for the love of god, and then decided to stop campaigning the last two weeks of the 2012 election because he was so honorable over a hurricane, while Obama campaigned his rear off using the Hurricane to highlight his "greatness" at NJ fat boy's expense.
Romney also comes from a family that traditionally loses elections more than wins them.
If the GOP was filled with such genius politicians just waiting to come to the rescue due to that "wicked" Trump - 1. Trump would not have won the votes primary, and 2. Obama would not be kicking the GOP's ass all the time...its the only ass Obama can kick in the world.
Like it or not - Trump right now is the GOP's best politician. Maybe one day Cruz, or someone like that will grow up and make better tactical decisions like not siding with a mob of leftist rioting in Chicago just to stick it to Trump. Bad move...

comforting delusion that many conservatives have embraced, rather than
face the reality of how far the country has moved to the left. He lost
because he was up against an incumbent with an approval rating over
50%. Any Republican was always going to be the underdog in that
scenario. Reagan probably would have lost to Obama too.
Unfortunately, because this nonsense that Obama should have been easily beaten, was allowed to become the conventional wisdom among GOP base voters, in 2016 they went looking for someone who wouldn't wimp out like Romney supposedly did. And that (along with Trump's $2 billion in free media) was how the GOP nominated a buffoon with a 70% disapproval rating. Who is on track to lose by more than Romney did, to a far weaker candidate than Obama. BUT HE FIGHTS!!!

It is not just that Romney went limpdick against Obama. Romney was absolutely brutal against all the Republicans in the primaries.

My dad, disabled in WWII, picked George because of that statement. Everybody else had Lincoln or such (my mom picked Jonas Salk). When my teacher read it, she got a look on her face like she'd drunk spoiled milk.

Remember this:
Jake Tapper: Are you, or have you ever been, a KKK member?
Trump: What? I don't know what you're talking about.
Romney: It's really deplorable that Trump won't immediately play Tapper's smear-by-association game.
Romney and Ryan are so clueless, they think the press is acting in good faith every time they ask, "Are you a racist?"

Other Trump supporters do, but not me. I've been on the receiving end of the "not voting for A is the same as voting for B" argument more times than I can count. I've always rejected it. The only way I vote for B is by actually voting for B. Voting third party, write-in, or not voting are all legitimate choices. Your vote is your own. I've always said that in the past and still do.
I am pissed at the party leaders and "conservative pundits" who are NeverTrump. Those are the same people who would be throwing that argument in my face if I balked at voting for Jeb. But not ordinary voters.

Except they weren't doing that. The entire power structure, Mitt included, was gearing up all the way back in 2014 for the Jeb Bush Coronation Tour. It was only after Jebby was demonstrating what a shitty candidate he was that the power structure began searching for an alternative, some hoping to go with Rubio and others begging Romney.

First, he has to amend his earlier campaign platform of killing 47% of America's population. He has to lower it to 20%. The principle of price pointing says he should probably make it 18%.
Second, he has to triangulate. Some trigonometry might be involved. The Law of Cosines will play well with the GOP's conservative base.
Third, he has to pick a running mate who would be an asset to his campaign. George Pataki was noncontroversial, but he's a Northeasterner. He should probably look at the map and find someone who could deliver Wisconsin and maybe put California in play. I'm thinking that the guy who owned the pizza joint in "Laverne & Shirley" would be on the short list.
Fourth, he ought to differentiate himself from Trump by proposing his own wall, running from (say) Wildwood, N.J., to the coast of Ventura County, California. If pressed for specifics, he should be ready with an answer, and that answer should be Oxnard.
Lastly, he has to come across as a regular guy. He should start eating lots of Kentucky Fried Chicken and Taco Bell. He should recruit sports celebrities to speak on his behalf at rallies - superstars, like Pearl Washington and Tommy Morrison. And he has to lose the tie as much as possible.
He could do this as a Republican or as an Independent, and he'd win the presidency with 300 electoral votes. And America will be saved.

As you all know, I'm a space geek. So is Newt Gingrich. During the Florida primary he gave a speech advocating the construction of a moon base. He was animated, engaged, and clearly knew his stuff. You might quibble about the details of his plan, but not his passion.
A couple of days later Romney gave a speech about space policy. It was painfully evident that he didn't give a damn about the subject, and basically said he would put Top. Men. to work to develop a policy. He then told a tearjerking story about a troop of Boy Scouts from Massachusetts that sent a flag to be flown on the ill-fated Challenger flight. Which had fuck-all to do with present-day space policy.
During the next debate, Romney made a crack about Newt's moon base to get a cheap laugh line.
I was enraged, and swore I would never vote for him. In the end, I swallowed my pride and did. Never again. The man is a fraud and a phony.

I knew he had no idea what he was talking about, and that he was lying, but a lot of voters bought it.

Ryan has done NOTHING to advance conservatism and small government.
Mitt Ryan, after his anti-Trump speech, thinks he is his own little god. I think he may be "touched in the head" with anger and jealousy.
I was all in, after my front-runners lost, in 2008 and 2012. Well, not as in for McCain, but going to a rally in FL heat for Romney/Ryan. Feel betrayed by both. They can bite moi. Disgraceful jealousy is never pretty to see. They have both degraded any respect I had (not that they care..globalists at heart more comfortable with Hilz Hog Harridan than someone who "is not qualified."
So, does her wonderful history (in Senate: passed a few bills or named a post office), as Sec of State started off her illustrious career by bungling the restart button, getting drunk and lots of frequent flyer miles, and then! her Arab Spring sprung where she had Quaddafi killed, four Americans killed, lied over their bodies at Dover AFB, continued to lie for three weeks, and don't look too hard at her emails or the swinging bank doors of the Clinton Foundation. Oh, yeah, Mitt, she is qualified to drive this country into a worse hell hole than it is already in.
My message to Mitt: you had your chance twice. You had a chance again but refused. You blew the 2012 election by being a pathetic milquetoast limp twit. You had your chance and you...YOU...blew it. Go back to your mansions and stew in your decaf.
All your blowhard yapping, I guess, must desire a tsunami of sudden support and wonder for you. A dream of magically being nominated at the convention so we can lose AGAIN. Yet, you said (you lying pasty limp noodle), your own wife did not let you run. Wonder how she is feeling today after seeing you disgust Americans from coast to coast with your pathetic attempts to be a hero. I do hope I run into you again! My message will not be the same as last time. I do not like wilting petunias. xoxo

Yeah, yeah, I know "but HITLERY!!!!!".
Sorry, not going to vote for someone because I hate someone else.
I will now only vote for people I want to see in the office and not to prevent someone else from getting in.
It's why we're in the situation we're in and Hillary is a threat. Because we've kept voting for appeasers and weak and feckless cowards. Afraid of being called racist because they criticize a minority or called sexist for pointing out the flaws in a female candidate.
So, no, Romney might have won the primary but he still wouldn't win the Presidency. Because being Democrat Lite isn't enough to get elected anymore.

It gets tiresome to hear the distortions spread by the media.
It gets even more aggravating when those who should know better claim that what those lying journalists have said is true.
Pretty much all of the so called quotes of Mr. Trump saying something stupid have been a journalists INTERPRETATION of what he said and not a repeat of his actual words.
And yes, he does speak in a manner that is open to that interpretation because he assumes people can speak and understand English and that most people don't parse a sentence trying to make it sound as stupid as they can. Which is what journalists and Trump's detractors do.
And that's a fault of our public school system; too many can't really speak or understand the English language or the spoken word.

The GOPe gave us Trump by trying to keep JEB and then Rubio afloat far past their sell-by dates. Cruz would have won it had they not been splitting the vote, but they thought they'd take out Cruz and his votes would go to their chosen schmuck. Because everyone knows that voters for one of the two outsiders will cluster around an establishment candidate, that's just perfectly logical, ain't it? Their own chicanery created the Trump win, and now they're crying about it. Trump is their punishment for their sins, and needs to remain the nominee for that reason.

I think what Trump was saying about Cruz's father was that he was involved with Oswald's "Fair Play For Cuba" committee, where they were handing out leaflets and such. This was a year or two before the assassination. I have never heard any insinuation that the elder Cruz had anything to do with the assassination.

Paul Ryan: We harvest our own dick cheese. Then ship it across space time to the next galaxy where it is manufactured and processed into final products. Then the products are shipped back across space time to our galaxy to earth and sold back into our Markets. And we tax income and everything we can in America. The multi trillion dollar dickcheese companies are interstellar so we don't tax them.
And people that are against this are nothing but nativist earthings full of gate and fear.

Full disclosure: after being a rabid Romney/Ryan supporter I met Romney. Asked him if he was going to run (he smiled his practiced smile and sheepishly said no. I wonder, now, how much he practices this). I then told him this country needed him and all sorts of blathering kudos.
Hey, Mitt: I take it all back! I was wrong about you AND really, really wrong about that crapweasel Ryan and his Rain Man budget talk. All talk, no action. No gonads. You are all the same: political correctness patty cake.
The reason Mr. Trump is winning and beat out the other 16 is because he does not care who he offends: you (Mitt, not you morons), Obongo, Hilz, Joe, Fauxahauntus. He does not care that some are offended by the wall. He does not care that some are offended by being called radical islamic terrorists and their families (see: Mateen's disappearing wife). Sometimes I want to stand up and cheer at his lack of political correctness and non-ownership of lobbies. Yet! Some fret over...drum roll...syntax! (Which is in the same league as fretting over tranny bathrooms while in the same stall that Orlando barbarian is firing rounds into your body).
Mitt: hide, honey. Pray you don't meet me again.

Trump created such a wide opening for another candidate to break free from the GOPe while not being Trump. IIRC, Walker had a some major donor who told him that his support hinged on immigration (being pro-immigration), so...yeah, didn't work out for him.

That was certainly the message put out by Christianity Today and others who opposed Trump. I have not seen good data across primaries for that. The common argument was Trump was not getting a majority. And "60% prefer another candidate".
Of course Cruz campaigned for evangelicals and Trump not so much.
With more data available from Missouri (a very close race between Trump and Cruz - wonder why that picked that one?), Christianity Today presented the following stats:
Attended church more than once per week: Cruz 56, Trump 26
Attended church a few times per year: Trump 48, Cruz 29
Those categories likely exclude most actual voters!

There's something you have to understand about Christians. We kind of expect and welcome abuse and persecution.
Threatening us with that isn't exactly convincing. Trump has to find a way to move toward forgiveness, to show he's not that scumbag any more, to be more family oriented, and to highlight the good that he's done over the years.

OK, I may have had the timeline wrong. Perhaps Oswald (and Cruz?) were handing out those pamphlets in 1963, not a year or two before, as I said earlier. I could have looked it up, but I was going on memory.
What I read in the link was that Trump said that Cruz was with Oswald just before Oswald was shot, which of course would implicate him in the JFK assassination.
I think this is a good example of Trump's mangled syntax. I think he meant to say that Cruz was with Oswald before Oswald killed Kennedy (which of course was immediately before Oswald himself was shot). I don't see any direct accusation that Cruz was actually involved with the Kennedy assassination.
Of course, by phrasing it the way he did, it could be construed as an insinuation. Whether it was accidental or deliberate, I don't know.
Sheesh. A Great Communicator, he ain't.

Which is still complete bullshit. The elder Cruz has always been anti-communist. He was jailed for opposing Castro once the "freedom fighter" mask came off.
It's levels upon levels of insulting to insinuate that he was in league with Oswald, especially given the fact that his sister was currently being tortured in Castro's gulags during that time frame.

At that point he was told that it wasn't Cruz in the picture, because that had been completely debunked. So then he said, "well they haven't denied it "
Of course they had denied it, so that was more thing Trump was wrong on. It wasn't Cruz in that picture.

TBH, it makes me sick to my stomach when he pretends to be a serious Christian. I hate that in Obama and I hate it in Trump.
He's a cultural Christian but basically a secularist with no particular religious belief. So be it.
I don't think he's given much thought (if any) to philosophical, religious, or even political questions. But the good side to that is that he has no ideological/religious hatreds the way leftists do.

I answered that. His actions and his claim of Christianity are at odds. If he went to a group like last week with all these pastors and stuff and said something like "I lived a pretty bad lifestyle in the past, I even slept around on my wife. I got right with God about that and left it behind" that would make a huge difference with Christian voters.
You know, instead of being gleeful about it and making cracks about how hot his daughter is.

What seems to commonly result in being banned around here is being insufferably contrarian, to the point of annoying Ace, Maet, or one of the others with the power to ban. Which generally comes, not from disagreement, but the apparent lust for being annoying. Which Amish was doing, in spades.

Thank goodness the global cabal has been outing themselves at such a pace it's hard to keep up. But at least they are identifiable now. George Will, Erick Ericsson, Romney et al. Trump is far from perfect, but he is the nominee, and he is going to beat the she hag like a 100 year old rug. He has already been able to put a boot up her ass, and knock her around like one of her husbands victims, and "strangely" he is moving up in the polls. Trump has torn up her woman card and made her swallow the pieces. Ain't no way Mittens could do that. People of no discernment love them some happy family pictures, that's why politicians use them, but you are a fool if you think that means they care about you your family, and your kids.

Yes. It's been a long-standing issue. I saw the start of it, with every CO I'd go into combat with not selected for flag, and early emphasis on PC. NAVSEASYSCOM and BuPers both flamed out in the Clinton years.
Those high operational years without a lot of funds drove many good people out of the service. Clinton did a lot of harm with selecting leaders that were not in the best naval traditions.
The LCS debacle, and a lack of focus on relevant GMT shows the rot is deep. Just look at those three sequential command team in USS Cowpens. A goat rope would be a step up.

The man seems to be a sort of secular type, which is fine as far as it goes. Frankly, his standing with the Almighty is no concern of mine, so long as he breaks the right heads.
Machiavelli argues, persuasively, that it is profoundly selfish to care more for one's own soul than for the well-being of one's people and state. Trump strikes me as a somewhat less than moral man who has the potential to do great things, or at least to not do terrible things to this country.
We could do worse, and have.

Why? Who is supposed to forgive him?
I answered that. His actions and his claim of Christianity are at odds. If he went to a group like last week with all these pastors and stuff and said something like "I lived a pretty bad lifestyle in the past, I even slept around on my wife. I got right with God about that and left it behind" that would make a huge difference with Christian voters.
You know, instead of being gleeful about it and making cracks about how hot his daughter is.
So would absolutely repudiating abortion, but he'll never do that.

When they got into power in the 1930s they started passing laws that eventually led to euthanasia of disabled children (and then adults).
There was really no way to fight against the evil laws - what was needed was to fight the Nazis themselves.
The way to fight abortion is to fight the Left.

I dont know about the English version but the original german film it is based on was filmed at the Wansee house. They had made it into a museum in the early 90s and I went to visit it. I always remember that room where they met and the big ceramic stove.
It always bothered me when they described Heydrich as handsome. He was ugly. Beady little eyes. A forehead that extended to the back of his head. And it looked like some one sat on his head when he was a baby.

True, and what has generally been true of most elections for decades is that Evangelicals were rather ambivalent about them. And had little influence over the outcome.
So that changed for a while there, and people started forgetting it wasn't always true.
I still think Trump can win without a huge swath of several of the traditional Republican cohorts. I'm not necessarily predicting it, just saying it COULD happen.
So anyone saying Trump NEEDS to do what the last several Republican nominees had to do is not only ignoring history, but also being silly, because... if no one has ever said this before, brace yourself, Trump ain't like any of the other last several R nominees.

For the record, I have no idea who Jim Gilmore is. Only you and his mama probably have ever heard of him. Hillary could just go to DC and await the inauguration.
In any case, if you have the tactical/strategic sense to win the primary, HTF can you hope to win the general election?

He's not a globalist, and right now the biggest danger to this country (aside from Hillary's Supreme Court picks) is the web of globalist entanglements that every administration since and including Bush Senior has gotten us tied down with. It's wrecked our economy and has us teetering on the brink of ruin. These people need to be defeated, and their attempts at eroding American sovereignty must be stopped.
I get that he's not a moral sort of person. I get that he's kinda weak on just about every social issue there ever was. But if we don't win on the globalist issue, this country dissolves and becomes part of the North American Prefecture or whatever those megalomaniacal wankers want to call it, and we'll never have to worry about the other things ever again because there won't be a snowball's chance in hell that we'll have the power to do anything about them.

2) file a form with the FEC
3) form a committee

If it's like a draft, then service will be mandatory. Newly chosen Representatives* will be marched to the Capitol at bayonet point.
*Senators will of course be chosen by state legislatures, after the 17th Amendment is repealed.

Cthulhu had some ideas the other night about a tricameral legislature, with a 3rd house of "responsibles", IE, the people who pay for all of this shit.
Keep the House as it is, restore the Senate to pre-17th appointment by state legislatures, and for the new house... Cross reference land ownership, citizenship, and tax records. If you are a land-owning citizen and pay more in taxes than your household gets back in terms of government cheese, you're eligible to be conscripted for the 3rd house. Service is the national equivalent of Jury Duty. You get to suck it up and serve your term, then go home. The house that's paying for it would have special powers with regards to budgets, like making them if the House abdicates on its duty to do so, or vetoing them, or altering the deal and pray we don't alter it any further, or something like that.

If you promise to run against Hillary the way you ran against Barry, I promise to stay home. Not out of protest, but simply because I dislike wasting my time on lost causes.

Searched "coffee can rocket stove" looks like an almost idiot proof build. Good info to have stored in my head even if I also buy one.

A few months back I was enjoying the thought that I would get to tell *someone* I TOLD YOU SO in November.
I've decided that the ones I really really REALLY want to tell that too are the leftist dickholes on Facebook.
I hate their holier than thou preening.

Power outages are easily overcome with a Coleman lantern and stove duo.
I've had mine since 1969, the lantern still has the original insides--stove is the same. I think they'll easily outlive me.

- repeat 3 to 4 times.
Final post to gaslight around 6pm about a NeverTrumper establishment convention chaos or jumping in to run while sipping on the Sodastream counting fat stacks. 1000 plus comments later the ONT goes up.
Not saying it's a bad thing. Just observing the formula.

Deer Mittens: this thought process is a year too late. Unless you think you can pull off a coup at the GOP convention, you can't win.
Even if you can pull off said coup, I'm doubtful you can win. I don't think you're mean enough for it.
