Former Trump adviser: Romney thinking about getting in

Colorful former Trump adviser Roger Stone thinks 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney is thinking about getting back in the presidential race. Stone tweeted his suspicion, and told CNN he had heard that Romney was considering a run from his sources.

The move could indicate Romney sees an opportunity to better confront and challenge front-runner Donald Trump. Some see current establishment standard bearer former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush as flailing. Trump has mocked Bush for being "just flat" on the campaign trail and Sunday called him a "low energy" candidate.

Romney publicly considered a third run as recently as January, but decided against it, after he lost most of his valuable donor base to Bush, and the massive prospective Republican field proved too unpredictable.

Romney ran for president in 2012, and lost the nomination to Sen. John McCain in 2008. Romney supporters point to Ronald Reagan's three attempts at the White House — 1968, 1976, before his successful win in 1980, as evidence that Romney has a chance.

The man who floated this rumor, Trump's former adviser Stone, has a history almost as colorful as that of his former boss. Stone was an aide to President Richard Nixon, and remains one of Nixon's staunchest defenders. He is known for his penchant for expensive but elaborate dress clothes, which are often a departure from the more understated nature of most political menswear.

He has been described as a "self-admitted hit man for the GOP" by the Daily Beast, is a popular presence on Twitter, and allegedly, has a tattoo of his former boss — Nixon— on his back.

Because we don’t have enough old guard RINOs cluttering up the debate stage.

This is great news for conservatives. Seriously, maybe McCain will re-up, too. The GOPe’s highest drawing candidate then will have maybe 6% of the vote.

It’s not that Romney is too nice. Just ask Newt Gingrich and anyone in Florida during the 2012 FL primary season. Or ask Rick Santorum after the 2012 Iowa Caucuses. Romney is not nice. Not nice to conservatives anyway. He’s only nice to liberals, communists, Marxists, and socialists. He is one of them. He is GOPee all the way. The very thing that Trump is fighting. Both he and JEB! are GOPee royalty. It’s just that JEB!’s family name holds a bit more authority (two presidents, a senator, and a governor, vs. a senator, a governor with multiple failed attempts at president) in the GOPee hierarchy.

But Mitt will be happy to run if called upon to be standard bearer for the GOPee. They don’t have anyone catching on that can compete with Trump right now. The top people are all anti establishment/anti GOPee. They need to find someone who can at least make it into the top three so that when they cheat and steal the nomination, it won’t look overly manipulated.

[arthurus]

Another stalking horse for Jeb.

[Nextrush]

If you read the history of 1964 you’ll read that Mitt’s father George was itching to stop Barry Goldwater but couldn’t get any support from other Republican governors.

[Gator113]

And my JD tractor and my boat and my Harley and my Airstream and my guns and, and, oh my....

Toaster cracked me up!! LOL

[gleeaikin]

We REALLY need instant runoff voting or something similar.

[Impy]

Too late, they are already pushing Kasich to supplant Jerb.

[DouglasKC]

The GOPe is getting really nervous.

[Jack Hammer]

And if we look up the phrase “non-starter” in the dictionary....

[Catsrus]

I agree. Actually, I like Rubio as a person. His big mistake was getting in bed with Chuckie Schumer - I think the libs did this to him on purpose. However, a person can’t be made to do anything they don’t want - short of having a weapon aimed at them - unless, they want to. He should maybe concentrate on his Senate seat or as you mentioned - run for governor.

[montag813]

Romney is such an assclown. Go consult some seer stones, and STFU.

“The GOP-e is calling up the reserve team.”

Reserve team? They’re bringing in the water boy and the grounds maintenance staff.

Former Trump adviser: Romney thinking about getting in

Office of First President & Living Prophet®:

November 8, 2012

Fellow MORMON Freeper Christians!!

 

I must apologize and ask for forgiveness from you all.

 

As you know, we at Headquarters NEVER tell you pew warmers how to vote. It says so right in our press releases. Anyway, we were ALL thrilled to the max when there were two – TWO! – MORMONs being touted in the primaries: Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman.

 

Talk in our upper chambers high above SLC was how our gods were favoring us with these men; who had prepared their entire lives for an opportunity to save this Nation; which so badly needs guidance: OUR guidance even! So naturally, I and the other twelve analyzed and discussed the situation.

 

Consensus was that the voters should listen to the inner urging and vote for the one they wanted; but that seemed to be leaving WAY too much to chance.

 

I decided, that since I am the ONLY man on earth that can hear GOD’s voice, that I would pray for wisdom and clarity in the matter.

 

I hadn’t used the fleece in a while, so I questioned GOD with a test. A paper, with Romney on one side and Huntsman on the other was to be placed by the air conditioning vent high above my desk in the sumptuous office the Full Tithers have provided.

When the air would kick in later in the evening, while I was home, the paper would be blown down and whomever GOD wanted would then be visible on the upper surface.

 

As you can probably guess, when I came in the next day, the paper had landed on my desk, with Mitt’s name on top.

Last night, I was staying late, praying to GOD about how it was even possible that Mitt lost, when the janitorial cleaning crew came in. Being surprised to find me here, they apologized for interrupting me. I said to them, “It mattereth not, as I was about to leave anyway.”

 

As I was going out the door, the foreman of the crew just happened to mention that my office is ALWAYS so neat and tiny, never anything out of place, that they barely have to do anything to tidy up. Then one of the sweepers said, “Except that time in the spring when we came in to clean and found a paper with Huntman’s name on the floor by your desk. We put it back on your desk and left.

 

 

Tommy M.

 

PS Keep praying that Huntsman will add an “H” to his name. Jon looks so dang effeminate!

 

Onward to 2016!!!

[Elsie]

Yer dad was a Mexican!	Nice hair!

[9YearLurker]

Good—keep splitting the Establishment vote!

[Elsie]

Honestly, all I can see is utter chaos coming our way.

I agree...

 

 

 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,

then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

[Elsie]

Romney, the perpetual loser.

Just wait!!

What Joseph Smith Means to Us  (From: various sources )

 

 

 

"He (Joseph Smith) is the man through whom God has spoken... yet I would not like to call him a savior, though in a certain capacity he was a god to us, and is to the nations of the earth, and will continue to be."

- Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 8:321

 

 

 

 

"You call us fools; but the day will be, gentlemen and ladies, whether you belong to this Church or not, when you will prize brother Joseph Smith as the Prophet of the Living God, and look upon him as a god..."

- Herber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses 5:88

 

 

 

 

"If we get our salvation, we shall have to pass by him [Joseph Smith]; if we enter our glory, it will be through the authority he has received. We cannot get around him [Joseph Smith]"

- (as quoted in 1988 Melchizedek Priesthood Study Guide, p. 142)

There is "no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith. If Joseph Smith was verily a prophet, and if he told the truth...no man can reject that testimony without incurring the most dreadful consequences, for he cannot enter the kingdom of God"

- Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p.190

 

 

 

 

"I tell you, Joseph holds the keys, and none of us can get into the celestial kingdom without passing by him. We have not got rid of him, but he stands there as the sentinel, holding the keys of the kingdom of God; and there are many of them beside him. I tell you, if we get past those who have mingled with us, and know us best, and have a right to know us best, probably we can pass all other sentinels as far as it is necessary, or as far as we may desire. But I tell you, the pinch will be with those that have mingled with us, stood next to us, weighed our spirits, tried us, and proven us: there will be a pinch, in my view, to get past them. The others, perhaps, will say, If brother Joseph is satisfied with you, you may pass. If it is all right with him, it is all right with me. Then if Joseph shall say to a man, or if brother Brigham say to a man, I forgive you your sins, "Whosoever sins ye remit they are remitted unto them;" if you who have suffered and felt the weight of transgression—if you have generosity enough to forgive the sinner, I will forgive him: you cannot have more generosity than I have. I have given you power to forgive sins, and when the Lord gives a gift, he does not take it back again."

- Orson Hyde, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p.154-155

 

 

 

 

"It is because the Lord called Joseph Smith that salvation is again available to mortal men.... If it had not been for Joseph Smith and the restoration, there would be no salvation,"

- Bruce McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p. 396, 670

They succeeded in killing Joseph, but he had finished his work.

He was a servant of God, and gave us the Book of Mormon.

He said the Bible was right in the main, but, through the translators and others, many precious portions were suppressed, and several other portions were wrongly translated; and now his testimony is in force, for he has sealed it with his blood.

As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.

Who has made this so?

Have I?

Have this people?

Have the world?

No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.

If I ever pass into the heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of the Prophet Joseph.

If you ever pass through the gates into the Holy City, you will do so upon his certificate that you are worthy to pass.

Can you pass without his inspection?

No; neither can any person in this dispensation, which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.

In this generation, and in all the generations that are to come, everyone will have to undergo the scrutiny of this Prophet.

They say that they killed Joseph, and they will yet come with their hats under their arms and bend to him; but what good will it do them, unless they repent?

They can come in a certain way and find favor, but will they?

Brigham Young,

ouch!

[Psalm 144]

“Because we don’t have enough old guard RINOs cluttering up the debate stage.”

We don’t. That is how they defeat us in detail over and over. I want a battalion of Statist, establishment, Geriatric Old Plotters in the race. Let them dilute their votes for a change. That they are doing this tells me they are in deep disarray. Time to kill this corrupt relic off like the shambling revenant that it is.
