Trump’s Success Makes Romney Want to Run Again

“As Donald Trump continues to dominate the Republican presidential race, frustration and panic have become high enough to make some inside the party Establishment pine for a candidate they roundly rejected as recently as January: Mitt Romney,” according to Gabriel Sherman.

Said on Romney insider: “Mitt wants to run. He never stopped wanting to run. These guys like Walker and Perry, they were big deals in their states, but you get them onto the national stage and it’s a different story. It’s like they were in middle school, and now they’re freshmen in high school and they’re getting their faces slammed in the toilets.”

spewing hate-speech and dueling each other to see who can be the most extremist in their purported views, I really miss just laughing at the Mittster.

That guy was unintentionally hilarious much of the time.

Will he:

Recommend that Hillary be arrested, prosecuted, and jailed?

Denounce Bernie as a "dirty socialist" and remove his American citizenship?

Proclaim that Joe Biden is not fit to serve as vice president and hence potential democratic candidate for president?

That corporations are still people but not so much "illegal occupants" who should be rounded up now and returned to their countries of origin?

Demand the impeachment of the President because of the Iran peace deal?

The possibilities make the mind race.
