Why Mitt Backed Out - His $$$ Said: "We need to support someone else.”

Last edited Sat Jan 31, 2015, 11:32 AM - Edit history (1)

“The campaign to deny Mr. Romney another chance began almost immediately after he mused to donors at a Friday get-together in New York City on Jan. 9 that he was open to the possibility of another run. By that Sunday afternoon, William Oberndorf, a prominent California investor who supported Mr. Romney in both of his previous presidential campaigns, had emailed a group of 52 powerful Republicans, including former Secretary of State George Shultz, the investor Charles Schwab, Gov. Bruce Rauner of Illinois and the Michigan billionaire Betsy DeVos with a blunt message: we need to support someone else.”

What is now pretty clear is that the douchebag made that January 9 announcement without even lining up his major donors. I guess he thought his magic underwear would make things ok.
