Mitt is back and he’s ready to entertain. (Photo credit: Gage Skidmore)
After not-so-nearly coming somewhat close to defeating Barack Obama in 2012, Mitt Romney is reportedly planning to run again. Critics claim that he has no chance of winning the nomination, much less ascending to the presidency, but I believe that he will ensure a Republican victory in 2016.
Let me explain.
During primary season, the other Republicans will spend a lot of time talking about how Mitt is yesterday’s news, how he seems to lack core political convictions, how he seems to be seeking the presidency out of ambition and not out of service, how he seems cold, how his underperformance the last time around reflects on his leadership abilities, how he’s cozy with Wall Street, and so on.
After getting all of this practice, the Republican who eventually defeats him will be well prepared to hurl the same factually accurate rhetoric at Hillary Clinton.
Mitt Romney IS an insult. His detractors are fine ones to talk, too. Romney is far from stupid. He’s just the sleaziest kind of pol. He was bad as governor of Massachusetts and he hasn’t improved, but he has better handlers. We’ve actually had some good Republican governors here. He wasn’t one of them.
I’m still waiting for someone to run (from either party) who would be worth voting for.
To put it in John Wayne terminology, “That’ll be the day.” It’s been a long, dry spell.
Ya’ll totally need to check out Harlan Scottsdale (link below) for president. His campaign is in it’s infancy and he is not well known. But I think he could be a uniting force in a very partisan Capitol.

I don’t think he stands a chance.

Maybe a tiny one. There are clowns worse than him, after all.
Name a few…
Vermin Supreme, Rick Perry, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump
Nice play!
I’m with you- surely, somebody worth a damn will chose to run one day, and I’m still waiting.
You could run…
Ouch… and ha!
One of these days, I’ll need to write a post about Dick Cheney. Somehow, I’ve haven’t done that yet.
It is a strange oversight
You know me and words, I still can’t look at him without wondering about “Mitt.” Was his name Matt or Milt and there was a typo? Or short for Mitten? No, I don’t expect an answer.
I think it was supposed to be the German word “mit,” meaning “with.” So: Willard mit Romney
Mitt v. Hillary – I think this election is a re-run.
Fortunately, I’m sure they’re both capable of providing new and improved gaffes.
