Romney Is Horrified by Trump — and That’s Restarting ‘Mitt 2016’ Talk
Source: New York magazine
As Donald Trump continues to dominate the Republican presidential race, frustration and panic have become high enough to make some inside the party Establishment pine for a candidate they roundly rejected as recently as January: Mitt Romney. Romney himself has become one of Trump’s most vocal detractors inside the party. “He’s someone to whom civility means a lot. The whole Trump thing really bothers him,” a close Romney adviser told me — and some Romney-ites are only too happy to talk up the prospect of their man jumping into the race if the Establishment fails to stop Trump, whose support in Iowa and New Hampshire is currently greater than Jeb Bush's, Scott Walker's, Marco Rubio's, Chris Christie's, and John Kasich's combined.
“Mitt wants to run. He never stopped wanting to run,” a senior member of his 2012 team told me. Other Romney-ites, watching this cycle’s candidates falling short, feel a sense of vindication after all the attacks they endured after Romney's failed 2012 bid. "These guys like Walker and Perry, they were big deals in their states, but you get them onto the national stage and it's a different story," a former Romney adviser told me. "It's like they were in middle school, and now they're freshmen in high school and they're getting their faces slammed in the toilets." Another former Romney adviser complained about Bush's decision not to go all-in on New Hampshire, a state a moderate must win. "Romney did 100 town halls in New Hampshire from announcement to the primary. It's madness. Bush has done only 23."

Surely you haven't already forgotten that with VERY little help from Obama, your previous presidential campaign platform came down to not being a black guy!

President Mittens or First Lady Ann 
Now I can't get that image out my brain.
Well there is always the new White House pet - the dressage horse. He might be fun. 
I still have these:
Face it:
PLEASE run, Mitt! You can go down in history as being unable to beat a black secret Muslim AND either a Jewish secret socialist or -- best of all -- a woman!

armor - riding in to save the day...what can Romney offer NEW - that was rejected in 2012??
We need not become complacent just because the republican party is in such disarray - eye on the goal folk's..too much at stake for the Democratic Party, SCOTUS, Environment, economy, progress in recognition of ALL cultures and ethnicity, so much still needs to be accomplished, security at home and abroad - foreign affairs met with diplomacy, NOT the almighty MIC...domestic justice, net neutrality, education, freedom for women - imagine women are still fighting for their freedom in the 21st century...

Back when Trump was engaged in racist birther-a-palooza.
Willard instead made a special flight to Vegas with Ann-toinette to accept his endorsement, where he said he was "proud and honored" to stand with him.
He then invited Trump to the convention and commissioned him to make some lame video for the delegates.
So, fuck you, Mitt. You loved this guy when he was spreading racist tin foil lies about your opponent. No one believes you now.
