If Mitt Romney is not making another attempt to run for POTUS- wonder why he filed with the FEC ON 2/1/2016🤔

1. Ah ha!

I knew it.

[2pooped2pop]

2. They get to bypass the primary bullshit

And be put in trumps place at the convention. Supposedly Cleveland has ordered 2000 riot suits

[misterhighwasted]

4. Is Trump preparing an Indy bid then?

Don't see Trump taking this backhand from anyone.
Interesting.

[restorefreedom]

7. orange will be spewing from every pore...

as he preps his lawsuit and readies an indy run

[misterhighwasted]

11. Good lord this is going to be nastier than we've ever witnessed

ROMNEY/RYAN
vs
TRUMP

[restorefreedom]

16. romney ryan, i will need the barf bucket!

at least trump is entertaining!

gods help us

[misterhighwasted]

19. ha..that is the truth. I will never make it thru the first

..Mitt presser.

Barf off. MITT!
YUK

[restorefreedom]

20. better not pick up the phone, then

word is, its romneys voice doing pro rubio/ anti trump robocalls

weren't we all punished enough in 2012?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. like your post number ! 11,111

[restorefreedom]

35. cool. hadnt even noticed! i guess all the hulabaloo. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. LOL...It's messed up now. Will write you again at 22,222

[restorefreedom]

47. lol...at this rate, it may not be long! nt

[salinsky]

3. Because he's still delusional ...

... he thinks he was born to be POTUS.

[dmr]

43. As his wife. The queen.

[Iliyah]

5. Oh shit

[misterhighwasted]

10. That's exactly what I said Iliyah! What's Trump's next move?

We're gonna need A LOT of popcorn for this one
Yikes

[FLPanhandle]

6. Change of address is checked

Maybe its just a change of address update?

[RockaFowler]

25. Yeah - something is off on this

The 2nd page says Romney/Ryan

Is this just to change addresses in the system??

So strange

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. It's possible that Romney is getting money in - just some foolish souls

who gave him money last time? And, where else would he put the money - except back into the old accounts? but needed address updates?

[Dont call me Shirley]

8. I knew it, first thing I said to my hubby when Mitt made his public condemnation of Drumpf, "Sounds

like he's running for president".

[misterhighwasted]

9. Ugh! Paul Ryan again!

I would have guessed Mitt would choose his buddy JEB!

[Octafish]

12. Cleveland.

He has his sights set on a brokered convention, with Mitt waiting in the wings, primped, pumped, and primed.

[scscholar]

46. This

You just know they're going to try to find some way to run him.

[Shadowflash]

13. This will be fun!

Welcome to 'Plan B'.

[misterhighwasted]

15. Lol

It'll be a media feeding frenzy when it hits the fan!

[Shadowflash]

40. Yup.

nt

[misterhighwasted]

14. I'm getting really curious who Trump's VP pick will be

No one comes to mind but I don't follow Trump's inner circle either.

[pinebox]

18. I'd say Christie but he would be a SCOTUS appointment

[pinebox]

17. I've been saying it all along

They will be throwing Trump under the bus. Expect a Romney/Rubio ticket

[cbdo2007]

21. Yep, then Trump will sue and it will go to the supreme court....

and all of a sudden Obama's pick becomes even more important. Going to be quite the circus.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. Agree - they are in cahoots. Romney's a formal rule following republican. He would

never ever get on stage and trash Trump without permission from the RNC

[former9thward]

22. He didn't.

This document is a relic from the 2012 campaign. Old campaigns never actually die with the FEC. That is why campaigns don't end, they are "suspended". The Clinton/Gore campaign still files with the FEC.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. But it's dated 01-2016

[former9thward]

37. Campaigns are required to report any changes.

This document is an address change.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. Oh ok, duh...I understand now. But, doesn't preclude him from taking

money in. Bet some schmucks are sending him money

[former9thward]

42. This is why candidates always say they are "suspending" their campaigns.

It allows them legally to continue raise money and pay off debts.

[Erose999]

23. Could it be just a holdover from his 2012 campaign? Like they have to file to keep track of unspent

funds or debt?

[misterhighwasted]

44. I am hearing that the telling point is Ryan's filing date.

I don't know what to think. Maybe its all a RW scheme to worry Trump into leaving the race.
GOP is such a nest of vipers anyway.

[stevenleser]

24. If its a brokered convention, which looks increasingly likely, its completely up for grabs

It could be Romney, it could be Jeb, it could be Rubio, or anyone else.

I wouldn't be surprised to see folks like Gingrich, Huckabee, Jindal and various other folks jockeying for the position too. But they need to start building some kind of fledgling infrastructure first. That's what this filing is about.

[Kelvin Mace]

27. Looks like a routine change of address

to me.

Calm down people.

[dembotoz]

30. awww thats no fun

[Kelvin Mace]

33. I know, I hate being a buzzkill

[misterhighwasted]

36. This is crazy. Twitter agrees with you, and Twitter says Nope he's running.

Some say its from 2012 but others say, nope its dec 15, also pointing out the date of Ryan's filing is the telling point.

It'll get wierder & wierder I'm sure.

[Kelvin Mace]

45. The form's date is 10/26/15

And where it asks "New or Amended", Amended is checked. Also, the box that says "Check if address changed" is checked.

[katsy]

31. Cue up that "47%" video and play it

Repeatedly until voters get it thru their heads that the gop does not speak for them.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. Exactly. AND - he's trashed 40% of the Republicans now who love Trump. So -

add that to the 47% - not many left to like, huh

[misterhighwasted]

41. Donald Trump will hold a News Conference tonight. CNN @ 9 ET

Maybe someone will just ask him about this & reset the guessing game going on at this point.

Or maybe Trump will simply reiterate that he is richer than Mitt
