Romney: Part Deux!
Posted on 07/03/2014 4:51:36 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
A look at the frontrunners currently making waves.
Mitt Romney hasn’t disappeared from the political scene the way many people thought he would after coming up on the losing end in the 2012 presidential race. But that doesn’t mean he’s running for president — or even thinking about running for president — in 2016.
Talk of a possible third presidential bid for Romney has surfaced of late, with poll numbers showing that he is well regarded by Republican voters and a growing sense within the GOP smart set that no candidate has really emerged from the pack as yet.
Romney has, of course, batted down such speculation. “I’m not running, and talk of a draft is kind of silly,” he told Meet the Press moderator David Gregory this month.
But one quirk of human nature is this: we always want what we can’t have. Or, in Romney’s own incredibly awkward (but accurate) phrasing: “The unavailable is always the most attractive, right? That goes in dating as well.”
The more Romney insists he’s not interested, the more people become intrigued at the prospect of him running. Remember how Al Gore suddenly became a figure of maximum intrigue in the political world just a few years removed from losing an ultra-winnable presidential race in 2000? He did it by making clear that he didn’t want to run. Works every time.
Now, Romney has been around the political game long enough to know that people are interested in you only as long as you are uninterested in them. As soon as Romney indicates that, well, sure, he might want to run again, all of the old complaints — He’s too wooden! He’s out of touch! — would come roaring back....

My Predictions! I will once again don the sacred swami’s turban and look deeply into my Crystal Ball—for 2016.
1. Hillary is out—I don’t think she will run and if she does she will drop out after only a single debate.
2. So to are out the cast of knuckleheads —Newt, Cruz, Palin, Jeb Bush, Perry, Christie, etc... they may run but will not get the GOP nod. Not that any would make a great president—people want a new face.
3. It will be a very dirty race—lots of tricks, lies, and cheating—like normal.
4. Who will be the nominees? Walker/Lees vs. Warren/Brown
5. Walker will win in a landslide and use lots of the GOP knucleheads in his cabinate! He will face instant opposition from the Media/Democrat/Union/ Progressives but in the end restore America and have his face carved upon the side of a mountain next to Ronald Reagans.
I like it
Whoever the media picks for the GOPe.
Last time there was a draft, Romney dodged it by going on his Mormon mission to Paris. Maybe if we talk about a draft, he'll leave the country again until after the 2016 election.
IMO, the nominee will be Ted Cruz. Bob
