nope. next. fumr. and your horse. and mccain. and jeb. and ryan. and graham. and lamar.

Wasn’t 2012 bad enough?

I’m all for dropping New Hampshire completely.

Talk about a stupid state for the GOP’s 2nd Primary!

[lee martell]

My head is spinning. Mitt would need to pull a big giant Rabbit out of his Top Hat early in the game for this idea to go anywhere. Hey! What did agent 007 say? Never Say Never. I think Richard Nixon also ran three times.

[A CA Guy]

If we don't get a conservative candidate who will secure the border, restore the economy and who gets back respect for our nation then the GOP can go kiss my glorious @ss as they retire into the ash heap of history.

[Jim Robinson]

FUMR!!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Willard in one word ?

Ringer.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Hey maybe McCain can run again, what can possibly go wrong..EVERYTHING!

[Jonty30]

I thought Perry was the best conservative candidate. It’s unfortunate he didn’t get very far.

[Charles Martel]

Hmm, so many "Damning with Faint Praise" options here. I suppose the most obvious choice is: "Hey, he's better than Hillary!"

[GeronL]

this is a bad joke, right?

[Maurice Tift]

  The best part of the 2012 election was knowing that we wouldn't have Mitt Romney stinking up Republican politics yet again in 2016. If he does come back, he's the best thing that could possibly happen to Hillary.

[Windflier]

I’ll betcha 25% of Freepers would enthusiastically back Mitt, given all the butthurt I read about us ‘purists’ not voting for him last time.

[VRWC For Truth]

NH is a suburb of Boston. It’s bluer than blue.

[Birdsbane]

The GOP chose the wrong man in 2012!

[Caipirabob]

I would expect no less from the occupied zone of leftist New England.

[From The Deer Stand]

Mitt, you blew it last time by wimping out at the end rather than going after Ozero and all of his misdeeds. You’re a nice guy - too nice. To defeat Democrats you have to be as vicious as they are. Offense wins, defense doesn’t.

[palmer]

I think it makes perfect sense to run Romney again, or maybe McCain if there is another economic meltdown. The reason is that the Dems will nominate Obama and we don’t want to look racist by nominating a candidate that could actually win.

[Jim Noble]

Mitt is a neighbor of mine when he's in NH, so I will say this:

He is extremely qualified for high-level executive employment, and he's a nice man.

One of the bad things about the rapidly accelerating demise of the Republic is the nomination and election of unqualified people ("Obama" being exhibit #1). The Hillary boosters who call her "the most qualified candidate ever" are another example.

Between 1788 and 2008, a sitting US Senator was elected President only twice, and both were terrible executives. In 2004 and 2008, 3 of the four candidates were sitting US Senators. This represents the ascendancy of style over substance, and is a problem.

Mitt is not a conservative in policy terms, and he was a terrible candidate. I hope he enjoys San Diego, and I hope he enjoys retirement.

But had he managed to be elected, we would have been better off than we are.
