Romney's Inner Circle Is Convinced He's Running
Business Insider ^ | December 4, 2014 | Linette Lopez and Hunter Walker

Mitt Romney held meetings with donors in New York this week that left one attendee convinced he is running for president again in 2016.

A member of Romney's inner circle who spoke to Business Insider said the former governor of Massachusetts traveled to New York City on Monday where he met with key financial backers of his past campaigns to lay the groundwork for a 2016 White House bid.

The source, who was at one of the meetings, said other attendees included developer Stephen Ross, New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, and hedge funders Julian Robertson and Paul Singer.

A representative for Romney did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the meetings from Business Insider.

Romney, a former Republican governor of Massachusetts, previously ran for president in 2008 and in 2012, when he was the GOP nominee. In addition to potential donors, the source said Romney met with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) this week.

Christie endorsed Romney during his last race. However, he is expected to mount his own White House bid in 2016.

It looks as if the GOPe is going to foist another loser/RINO upon us. There is almost no difference between the Democrats and Republicans. IMHO, if we don’t get a Third Party established and on the 2016 ballot, the USA as we know it is OVER!

I have felt all along Mitt would run again. He will suck up all the big donors and he has personal money. Its all bad.

Maybe President Cruz can name Romney as the Ambassador to Hungary. Apparently the qualifications for the job are pretty low.

Conservatives have too many candidates in the primary. The conservative vote was too fractured. This time we MUST coalesce early around one or two candidates. If we do we can roll them! If we don’t another libtard gets nominated.

I think that Rand Paul is the GOPe and the media’s distracting action figure this time, he is going to be used as a tool against the conservatives.

Well if his inner circle is reading this tell Mitt to quit getting in the way. We need a real leader and he has proved he is not one.
