Poll: Romney the frontrunner in 2016?
CNN's Political Ticker ^ | June 19, 2014 | Paul Steinhauser, political editor

Posted on 06/19/2014 3:36:50 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

He's said over and over that he won't run for the White House a third time, but a new poll indicates that if Mitt Romney changed his mind and made another bid for president, he'd be the frontrunner among Republicans in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire.

According to the Suffolk University/Boston Herald survey, which was released Thursday, 24% of Granite State Republicans and independents who lean towards the GOP say that Romney would be their first choice for their party's presidential nomination.

Among the potential 2016 GOP contenders, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was a distant second, at 9%, with Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky at 8%, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 7%.

While the survey may make headlines, it's important to remember that Romney's very well known in New Hampshire. He owns a vacation home in the state, has often appeared at GOP events in New Hampshire, and was governor of neighboring Massachusetts. Romney easily won the 2012 Republican primary, but lost the state by six percentage points to President Barack Obama in the general election....

RE :”Rut roh. It’s Bush’s fault!
Romney haters, Bush haters....next in line is...?”

Yep, I am no Romney fan.

You can always tell a Koolaid drinker because they scoff at excuses made by the other party, yet they rally around equally as ridiculous sounding excuses for their own party's guy.

“It was Jimmy Carters fault that the economy tanked in 2008 after Bush saved it”

I didn’t say I play them, either, did I?

To be honest, I was looking for a particular post...I remember it being made, and I thought it might have been from you. Something about refusal to donate to FR based on its reaction to Romney, while hoping others do it for you.

Wrong.

My point is we got kicked in 2008 in the US Senate, the house of representatives, the state legislature level and beyond and that has nothing to do with Palin, McCain or ROMNEY.

If you can’t see that, I guess you have Romney derangement syndrome or your are just dumb.

We got beat in 08 at the dog catcher level, but I guess you will blame that on Romney too.

Why do you have to claim you’re not a Romney fan? Is that so you’ll not be kicked out of the “we hate Romney” group here?

Is Romney running for office????? He is on Dancing with the Stars? American Idol?

The best picture I have EVER seen when it comes to politics is the one with Vice President Dick Cheney glaring at Barack Obama. HE knew. I wonder why the Romney haters didn’t know?

I hope you find the post you’re looking for! Should I say premiere conservative website so “IF” you play a drinking game, you’ll be on the floor?

There ya go.

Rush is on. He’s talking about the Obama administration lying about the IRS emails. I’m sure you are as upset at that as you are about Romney.

Or, maybe not.

RE :”Why do you have to claim you’re not a Romney fan? “

Because you replied #319 to my comment #316 with the text “Romney haters” DUHHHH when my 316 had nothing to do with Romney.

You pinged me about Romney haters, I didn't approach you at all on this thread.

I can see why you love Bush and Romney by your communication skills.

No you are going by your own self-righteous decision to get involved in a conversation that had nothing to do with you. However since you think you are morally superior to me just look at the definition of your own thoughts about my posts:

self-right·eous
adjective
having or characterized by a certainty, especially an unfounded one, that one is totally correct or morally superior.
“self-righteous indignation and complacency”
synonyms: sanctimonious, holier-than-thou, self-satisfied, smug, priggish, complacent, pious, moralizing, preachy, superior, hypocritical;

That isn’t the point. You just have to make sure that the other Romney haters KNOW you also hate Romney so you’re not lumped in with a group that wasn’t duped in 2008 by Romney. Right?

Why didn’t you know you were duped in 2008?

When pinging folks here, I usually address the post to a specific individual or individuals by addressing them at the outset. I may then ping dozens of others not named in the post itself. I apparently neglected to do so leading to confusion as to my intent. This sometimes happens when I am angry at the main target(s). I apologize if I have been negligent.

You were included intentionally as one who seemed to have made a common sense comment on this thread. I have not tarred you at all. Implicitly I am praising you and others. Romney WAS and WOULD AGAIN BE a horrible candidate. The only thing I disagree with in your #202 is that Romney was "socialist-lite." He was and is a malignant "crony capitalist" and servant of Wall Street, K Street and the Chambers of Crony Commerce. That made him and makes him a faithful lap dog of such as Obozo, Reid, Pelosi, etc.

God bless you and yours!

The point is that you pinged me about Romney Haters, and I replied to that point directly, then you asked me why I replied with the fact that I am no Romney fan DUHHH.

You brought the subject up, if you don't want other freepers to know that you love Romney then don't bring the subject up, DUHHH

I don't care if you want to love him, its a free country.

I hit enter prematurely, sorry about that....I also wanted to thank you for your claiming that I “love” Bush and Romney. Was that posted so the Bush and Romney haters will make sure you’re not kicked out of their little group?

I will admit that my major in college was not communication, and everyone who voted for Bush twice and Romney once communicate JUST like me? Really? Cool!

Just imagine if President George W. Bush had claimed that IRS emails were lost in a “recycling” of a computer.

Talk about communication! But, at LEAST we don’t have Romney in the White House losing IRS emails. Whew!

You brought up Romney and keep bringing him up, if you dont want freepers to know you love him then talk about something else.

Why dont you tell us how you love Christie?

That's because Romney is a loser.

You seem very obsessed about loving Mitt Romney.

My point is very clear, but I’ll repeat it again so you can attack again to stay in the good graces of the Bush/Romney haters.

I will *NOT* vote for Hillary Clinton under any circumstances, by proxy or otherwise. Now, according to the Romney haters here, DUHHH, you were simply fooled by that man in 2008 and again in 2012. Odd that they didn’t tell you how you were being fooled, isn’t it?

I really do understand the dynamics of the Romney haters here. You’re all victims. I get it.

But, why did Dick Cheney know about Obama and you didn’t care?

If it is Bush vs. “not Hillary,” you certainly CAN do something about it. You can vote third party or abstain on POTUS and lessen the legitimacy of whomever is the “winner” of a rigged process. Or you can vote for Jebbie and stick that fork in the electrical outlet yet again. Maybe you get a better result than last time with the fork option. Not likely.

Nope, I’m not morally superior to anybody. Whatever I’m able to see as wrong or right is through the grace of God, certainly nothing to do with me.

If you didn’t mean what you implied, maybe you should word your posts more carefully.

And as far as the conversation having nothing to do with me, this is a public forum. If you post, you should expect to draw responses.
