Joe Scarborough: Draft Mitt Romney in 2016!
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | June 14, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 06/14/2014 3:31:01 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Joe Scarborough, the MSNBC host who has transformed into one of his generation's most preeminent Rockefeller Republicans, believes Mitt Romney should run for president again in 2016.

Speaking to about 300 guests at "a luxury resort in the Rocky Mountains" with other potential GOP presidential hopefuls like Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Scarborough reportedly urged the establishment donors and insiders to being a “Draft Romney” movement.

“This is the only person that can fill the stage,” Scarborough said at a summit hosted by Romney, according to a Washington Post report.

Scarborough and other attendees may not have realized that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) was ousted last week because he was seen as emblematic of an ossifying Republican Party that favored cronyism over free markets...

Romney didn’t want the presidency in 2012. Why would anyone in their right mind think he wants it now. Geeez. Let’s stop playing this game. Romney is one of Obama and Hillary’s biggest supporters.

This is why I never donate to or vote republican. Scarbarf is a lib, Romney is a lib. There is only party, the national socialists party. they can claim otherwise but that’s the truth.

All big government liberals want Romney to get the GOP nomination. If Romney is the “republican”, they have a 90% chance of a big government democrat winning, and even if the democrat loses they still get a big government liberal.

How many more times is the GOP going to give away the presidency?

It was hard to find someone able to get fewer votes than McCain, but somehow the Republicans were able to find him. I bet after another try he could drive his vote count down even more.

I know he’s running. He’s been quietly setting up the playing field in his favor. When Terri Land stepped down from the RNC to run for the senate seat in Michigan, Romney’s niece landed in her spot.

The proper response to this is that the Democrats should run Al Sharpton for president.

“I believe in my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers – I will be true to them and to my beliefs.”

I don’t think we will have to draft Mitt. He seems to be seriously considering running. A poor idea.

Will Mormons’ racial history be a problem for Mitt Romney?

...Tim Russert noted that Romney was 31 when the priesthood ban was lifted in 1978. “Didn’t you think, ‘What am I doing part of an organization that is viewed by many as a racist organization?’” Russert asked.

“I’m very proud of my faith, and it’s the faith of my fathers,” Romney answered. “And I’m not going to distance myself from my faith in any way.”

Yes. Romney SHOULD be the candidate of the GOP,
the party of RomneyCARE, RomneyMarriage, Romneypolygamy,
RomneyPoorgoverning, RomneyOnBothSides, and
of course RomneyBackstabbing.

Yes. Let Romney lead the GOP, and be honest, for once.
