Who thinks romney will run in 2016?

[Anarchist420]

Romney reminds me of my own dumb self as we're both STJ and as guardians so compulsively dishonest and gullible.

Is it reasonable to predict that Romney will be the last GOP nominee or will be the one who debates Hillary Clinton the most? Why?

 

[Moonbeam]

My guess is the number that posted before me.

 

[zanejohnson]

nope not a chance....

we dont know who's gonna be president yet....

i doubt hillary will run.. it's gonna be a new fresh face, young and vigorous, maybe a woman! on the D side...

I agree about the fresh face. We need rid of the old establishment, where repubs will be dems and dems will be repubs, once they've lied their way into office.

Until the American people form a Constitutional Convention and change the Supreme Court rulings that speech is money and corporations are people you will have your choice of low cal. Romney or Romney full fat.

 

[zanejohnson]

they pretty much have an M.O.


remember how Obama popped up right before (only like 5 months) before the election in 08'

it will be like that.... we dont know who it is yet...they haven't "presented," them to us yet.

 

[zanejohnson]

nobody knows who the next president will be

Crude racist conspiracy theories are not acceptable here.

[zanejohnson]

maybe like......Suzanna Martinez on the R side.....

would follow the M.O.


cant see any tell tells for the D side yet.....


(and lets not pretend this isn't pre-decided)

(like they'd actually let you vote HAHA YEAH RIGHT)

Romney v. 2.0? I really wish he takes another stab at the job. I'm curious as to how he's going to either re-brand himself or stick to what made him think he had it all sewn up right up until somebody smacked him the face with a flyswatter named reality.

Romney vs. Clinton......I like it. I like it a lot.

 

[dank69]

I just don't see any other viable candidate on the GOP side, and even Mittens isn't truly viable. The negative attack campaigns write themselves for every one of the top 10+ GOP possibilities. The real question is, will he be willing to be a two-time loser. His ego already took a huge hit, and I don't think he is stupid enough to think he will stand a better chance this time.

 

[MrCassdin]

Of course he's running.

Why do you think he's been flying coach all over the US and interfacing with people. It's guerrilla marketing. The guy can afford his own jet.

 

[Sonikku]

I sure hope so. He could come up with a better healthcare plan than Obama's with both eyes closed.

 

[ivwshane]

The question I have is; exactly what will the GOP run on? Their only record is obstruction, their only ideas are anything to be against what Obama is for.

So when a voter asks, "why should we vote for you or your party after years of doing nothing, not even bringing your own ideas to the table?". When and if they give an answer that actually includes real ideas, they will be asked, "why haven't you proposed that ever?", they will blame Obama and the dems and when called out on their obstruction and asked exactly what would be different, their silence will be deafening!

He's not going to be able to afford his own jet once hillary clinton gets into office.

Romney is an SJ, so why would he not be stupid enough?

Romney is kapoot.

 

[John Connor]

I think Romney may just run, now whether he wins or not I'm not sure. I wanted him to win in 2012, but the people were stooped by the MSM. Now I think people are finally realizing that Romney would have made a better President since Obozo's poll numbers are down. I wanted Romney in '08 too, but he dropped out.

 

[sportage]

I doubt old Mitt is that stupid.
The ads of how he ravaged the middle class and companies and all those workers are still fresh in the minds of voters. And having a long term employee on TV describing how Mittens took their company, killed their jobs, all for fast profit, doesn't play well with the voters.
That hasn't changed.
And if anyone knows how to focus an attack campaign on that little Romney venture, it would be the Clinton's.
Oh the horror.

 

[Sinsear]

They should change the rules so Bill Clinton can run again.

 

[TeeJay1952]

You ever see a good magic act? You know when the magician is introducing his beautiful assistant the roadies are preparing next illusion. When he is waving his hands and bowing that is when the switches are made.
Politics is like that. Pretty much all steam and scream while brother in laws are being appointed to road commissions. I don't have the answer, other than live your life without getting too pulled in any one direction.
I just find it hard to comprehend why we keep trying fools and tools so Romney doesn't look that bad.

 

[yllus]

Hillary's basically the same thing.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Of course he will - who else will the GOP send in? Perry? Palin? ,... McCain??

Perry could end up in prison.

Palin is just useless.

McCain,..

Yeah,.. no way.

Underwear boy will have to run. He won't win. But, he will be the only choice.

Regarding Romney,... he threw a shit fit over people asking about his religion on a radio show a few years back. Stating how it is none of anyone's business on what he believes or how he lives his life,.. yet, his politics are fashioned to enforce his beliefs on others. The man is a fucking joke through and through.

 

[John Connor]

No more a joke than Obozo!

Oh the horror.

Obama didn't win by a land slide last go round... he had a better campaign plain and simple, he certainly wasn't elected on his actions or character (and Romney would not have been either).

 

[Fanatical Meat]

To me Romney is a good guy however that does not make him the right guy to be President.
I wonder if he runs again will a tax return be released and was the extra tax he opted to pay on his late presented 2011 return amended to get him back to his correct tax rate which was under 15%?
Romney is too much of a CEO he is fine with making hard or unpopular decisions but he hates to be called out on them. That is why he changes political positions so frequently.

CEOs of venture firms dont have to know what everyone wants and there is a lot less uncertainty involved than what, say, Richard Branson, Jen Hsuang, or Thomas J Kalinske have worked with. Romney would just change the name and everyone would still know what it was. He cant fool the same person more than once just like I cant and that is because we are not observant.

Also, Romney's not a good communicator and his gaffes are accidental. He often has the wrong info (like I do), isnt good at connecting the dots (similar to me), has an inability to quickly and accurately fill in the blanks (same with me) while there is reason to believe that gaffes from Bush (43 at least), both Clintons, Biden, and Obama are on purpose.

Remember, the RNC spent a lot of time training Romney for the debates. He stutters a lot and gets stunned easily just like I do (although Romney isnt quite as bad as I am when it comes to verbal fluidity). The RNConvention '12 was super-scripted and Reince Priebus et al. drew up a shitload of rules and threatened the fuck out of people because Romney cant handle disorder just like i cant. The RNConvention of McFailin'08 was nowhere near as scripted and that is because McCain's IQ was tested to be ~133.

And his cephalic index is definitely below 80 so you know he's not smart enough to succeed on his own.
