a worm and a snake
More like a turd and vomit on a hot sidewalk.
I agree, except for the fact that medieval rulers would have been slightly more subtle about it! LOL
Mitt does not intend to beat Herself.
In a reprise of the match-up between Slick, George H.W. Bush and H. Ross Perot, the “third party” takes all the votes from the Republican, allowing a plurality to win a sufficient number of electoral college votes to beat out the obviously better candidate. (The lesser of two evils argument, but the lesser of two evils is STILL evil.)
If only Bernie, being cheated out of the nomination by the Democrat superdelegates, would take his marbles and go over to the Green Party to be their candidate, then the playing field, if not leveled, is left with enough land mines to make the contest interesting.
The Faustian bargain with the Devil for Herself. The “love object” here is - Mitt Romney.
(Top Of The World Lyrics)
Such a feeling is coming over me
There is wonder in ‘most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won’t be surprised if it’s a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it’s because you are here
You’re the nearest thing to (the Oval Office) that I’ve seen
I’m on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it’s telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There’s a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I’m on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me at the top of the world
I’m on the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me at the top of the world

So apparently Romneys goal is to lose even bigger than his 2012 disaster.
Well at least he has goals,right? Gotta keep reaching.
Good luck boys
Generally speaking, an independent presidential candidate must petition for placement on the general election ballot in all 50 states, as well as Washington, D.C. A handful of states may allow an independent candidate to pay a filing fee in lieu of submitting a petition. The methods for calculating how many signatures are required vary considerably from state to state, as do the actual signature requirements. For instance, some states establish a flat signature requirement. Other states calculate signature requirements as percentages of voter registration or votes cast for a given office.
In order to access the ballot nationwide, it is estimated that an independent presidential candidate in 2016 would need to collect more than 880,000 signatures. California is expected to require independent candidates to collect 178,039 signatures, more than any other state. Tennessee is expected to require 275 signatures, fewer than any other state.
If Romney runs independent I guarantee he would get about 3% of the vote.

At this point they are desperate, Hillary or a 3rd party candidate is the Only Way to keep the party going and the money flowing. Maybe Trump should deport them afterwards.
Anyone else think this is horse blank???
And anyone else see irony here, in that, early on, the GOP was all about getting candidates, including Trump himself, to pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee who came out on top in the primary/caucus process. They were afraid that Trump might go 3rd party/independent if he lost out in that process. The GOP didn’t want to see a 3rd party/independent candidate, because that would simply split the vote and hand the presidency to Hillary.
The irony is that now that Trump has come out on top, now these GOP big wigs are now the ones who want to see about a 3rd party or independent candidate, rather than pledge their support to the winner of the primary/caucus process of choosing a nominee. Anyone else see the rank hypocrisy in this??
And, if they do decide to go ahead with a 3rd party run, they themselves will be the ones who hand the presidency to Hillary.
Everything they worried about and warned about, coming from non support of the party nominee, will happen based on their own actions, if they go through with this nonsense.
Romney and Kristol think Mittens got the votes he got (and McCain for that matter) because voters actually liked him.
It is beyond their comprehension that the only reason either got any votes was because they were votes AGAINST Obama.
The GOP could have run Alfred E Newman and probably would have gotten more votes.
For the first time since Reagan, the GOP actually has a popular candidate that people like.
For many of us, Trump isn’t the lesser of two evils, instead he’s the right man for the job at this time in history. He is the prescription for what ails this nation. Is he a cure all? No but many of us think he’s a good dose of radiation that will hurt much of the cancer that is plaguing our nation.
It’s not just a placebo where we say “well, this medication has less side effects as the other medication” which is what we’ve had jammed down our throats since president Reagan.
Romney would make Nader look like a heavy weight with the paltry vote he would get.
I’d love to see it.
“ Kristol, a conservative commentator ”
Kristol and is ilk are not “conservatives”; they are nothing more than pro-Uniparty, pro-Hillary traitors. Unfortunately, they’ve also completely destroyed any meaning the word “conservative” may every had, as well.
Trump has known this all along, which is why he eschews ideology and deliberately does not label himself as “conservative”, instead simply elucidating a long and broad list of positions that would have in the past (and still will for most people) be taken as “conservative”.
One very interesting outcome of Trump’s populist positions is that the Democrats are unable to paint him as a “vile, evil, and extremely extreme extremist conservative” as is their usual wont, but instead have been reduced to trying to label Trump with new and untried pejoratives like “dangerous”, which lack the dog-whistle content of the usual Democrat shibboleths. In other words, if the Democrats can’t label an opponent “vile, evil, and extremely extreme extremist conservative”, they’re clueless as how to attack an opponent.
Romney likes to be humiliated, apparently.
This is a recipe to cook up a disaster like Woodrow Wilson.
Correction to the article: Kristol is NOT a conservative.
Agree. Kristol is a big government RINO neocon who is pissed at Trump for his positions on Israel and the Middle East. He thinks Trump is antisemitic, which is demonstrably false. Obama and Hillary are the real Jew-haters.
You guarantee he would get about 3% of the vote? I think you are overestimating him big time. I’m guessing he would be lucky to break 2%.

Doesn’t that just say it all?
Aren’t they too late in some other states also?
