Do you think Romney's kicking himself now for not running?

When he backed out, pundits said it was because he thought Jeb had fundraising and support locked down.

Now, with Jeb behind Trump and unable to pull ahead of Walker, Mitt has to be a little annoyed he surrendered to the supposed Bush juggernaut so soon.

For a guy who spent two decades aiming for the White House and thought he was prophecized by the magic golden plates to win, it has to be a blow to his ego to know he'll only be a footnote in US political history.

He is a horrible person like most Republicans and now T-Rump has become funnier than he ever was so in essence he has been replaced. He won't have my heart and soul like he did the last election cycle.

I think he's the type to know when to call it quits, and not look back. He's got a good life as it is, it was hard to judge the race when he had to make the call, and he was looking at '3 time loser' on the downside when he could walk/fade away and have it made
