Dear Mitt Romney: Shake it off
Yahoo News ^ | 1/14 | Matt Bai

I was even more excited about this possibility after someone reminded me that you had actually been the nominee in 2012. Memory gets hazy, but I could have sworn that Republicans in the last election had nominated a microtargeting algorithm. When Paul Ryan brings warmth and levity to your campaign, you know there’s a problem.

But let’s leave all that in the past. Because I’ve been reading the idle punditry of my colleagues this week, most of it saying you can’t win this time around, and I’m here to tell you that you shouldn’t take any of that seriously.

Haters gonna hate, Mitt, but you’ve still got that hella good hair, you know what I’m saying?

Let’s run through the arguments. First, the media clairvoyants just don’t see any clear path to the nomination. The religious conservatives in Iowa still don’t like you. New Hampshire’s grumpy electorate gave a quarter of its primary vote to Ron Paul last time around, and his son will be about five times more formidable there. You might as well drive right through South Carolina on your way to Florida, which should be locked down for Jeb if he runs.

Suppose, for instance, all 20 Republican candidates show up for a debate in Des Moines. And then you go out to your car for a minute, because you left your briefing book or maybe you forgot that the dog is strapped to the roof, and at that very moment, say, a North Korean missile streaks out of the sky and vaporizes the entire field, along with the party’s most ardent activists and most of the national media.

That’s not your only clear path to the nomination, of course. But for strategic purposes, it’s the one I’d focus on right now.

“When Paul Ryan brings warmth and levity to your campaign, you know there’s a problem”

When Joe Biden brings intelligence and heterosexuality to your campaign, there is a problem

Mitt Romney is an Internationalist with an R by his name.

I will never vote for this guy who threw the debates for Obama.

He is not trustworthy at all.

His healthcare plan/scam was the blue print for Obamacare. We all know what fraud it has become.

Even Romney praised Gruber!

He believes in open borders.

DO NOT vote for this guy. I don’t care WHO he is running against. He is far leftist and would be a disaster for the conservative movement.

Romney will continue to drift our country to the Socialist Left.

I think Romney could have a place in the next administration.

President Cruz could name him as the new U.S. Ambassador to Hungary, to replace the soap opera producer that Obama named.

LOL! I wouldn’t even want him there. Romney just needs to fade away.

Romney, like John Boehner, is compromised and neutered.
