I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
Mitt Romney might allow himself to be begged to run for President one more time because the old rich white men in charge of the GOP are terrified that they won't be able to Stump the Trump or Arson the Carson.

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

Wait I thought "once a loser always a loser" was going to apply here for sure. It's not like anyone's forgot how much of a silly robot he acted as either in 2012.

Incidentally I was looking up info on him and apparently he has claimed his favorite novel is Battlefield Earth; makes me wonder what his opinion on Scientology is, also what he thought of the movie.

fake e: :lol: he changed it to Twilight what a hopeless dweeb.

Rubio seems like the best contender in terms of appearances. he's got way more youthful energy than Jeb~ and ROMNEY combined.

It's funny how when "youthful" or "younger generation" is mentioned in conjunction with the campaign, everyone thinks of Rubio even though he and Cruz are the same age: 44.

cause despite his all-consuming thirst for precious water, rubio doesn't look like a middle-school kid tried to scuplt a muppet out of old clay and then accidentally left it in the backseat of his mom's car for the entire weekend. cruz looks like his entire corprus is suffering from erosion in some kind of weird time-lapse pictoral

Mitt Romney SHOULD run again. WTF was he thinking being scared off by JEB! ??? The big donors who have been hesitant to jump to Rubio would have bailed on JEB! for Romney a couple of months ago.

I'd vote for him.

Trump is the only Alpha dog in this race. Let's pit 2 against one another and see who survives and mauls the other.

i really dont think the republican primary electorate would rally behind a loser but the only empirical evidence i can pretend supports my hypothesis is their refusal to re-embrace santorum or huckabee and that's not a strong argument

i think intuitively it seems fairly clear that romney, who pissed off the actual republican voters so much the first time around, wouldn't make it as a retread

and if that supposition is given it seems fairly clear that if the gop establishment were to actually follow through on this bullshit they'd be revealed to be so hilariously out of touch that even the events of 2015 wouldn't have prepared us for the reality of their inanity

but now im just making GBS threads out of my fingertips onto the forum

It's far too late, obviously, but it's a fun hypothetical. It'd really shake the race up.

If you want a pro-Romney point, "only" three filing deadlines have passed and Romney wasn't going to win South Carolina, Alabama, and Arkansas anyway. New Hampshire's filing deadline is a week from today, though, and that'd be a must-win for him, so if Romney really did let himself get committed, it'd have to be by next Friday.

In a general election between Hillary and Romney, Hillary wins 99 times out of 100. The other 1 time is if she somehow died while campaigning.
