More capable candidates than Mittens (Gore and Kerry for two) who have lost knew their hour on the stage to strut and fret was up. Itâll be drip drip from now on, and it couldnât happen to a nicer guyâŚ

Running for president seems to be Mittensâ part-time job in retirement. Guess with his money, he canât be a greeter at Walmart.

He doesnât have the personality to be a greeter at WalMart.

I wish people would stop discouraging Mittens. Let him run. It will be entertaining watching him and Jeb go after each other while the clown car nibbles at their feet. (And Chris Christie nibbles at the bagels on the green room tables.)

Romney Will Fail Again If He Runs In 2016
How come everyone seems to realize this except Mitt Romney?

Nixon is the only one in post civil war era to start off losing and then win, but i know of at least three multiple- nominees: stevenson d 52-56, dewey r 44-48, and bryan d 96,00 and 08. so i think it depends on the situation of each particular election cycle. i wonât relax about romney until he gets a wooden stake through the heart.

And Nixon wouldnât have won in 1968 if Wallace hadnât been on the ballot.

The people who are encouraging him to run are people who will get high paying jobs in his campaign organization. If I could land one of those jobs, I too would actively encourage him to run. Wouldnât you, but he has the money to burn on his ego.

Seriously, I hope all this negativity just makes Romney more determined to prove everyone wrong. As Kilgore said the other day, Romney shows no mercy to primary opponents, and is sure to leave a few painful marks on whoever limps to the nomination. I love the idea of two or three establishment favorites clobbering each other all primary season long. Suppose youâre a big donor whoâd be just as happy with Jeb, Mitt, or Christieâhow much money are you willing to give one of them just to tear the other two down? And that doesnât even get into all the other crazies on the fringes, vying for attention. Popcorn is probably the best investment anyone can make at this point!

Somewhere in Florida a carpenter has been commissioned to craft a wooden stake.

Even Mâlady Ann is wavering.
âDone,â she told The Los Angeles Times in October. âCompletely. Not only Mitt and I are done, but the kids are done. Done. Done. Done.â
But now sheâs beginning to hear the grassroots cry for Mittens to run again and knows how much the country deserves his greatness. Could I be any more snarkier? No.

MTP mod, intoned as agent Dave Kujon: âDo you know Charlie Dentâ
Mitt, intoned as Verbal Kint: âHe didnât have my elevatorâ.
Bitterness is known to cause cataracts.
Does T.R.'s Bullmoose run count? And, indeed, he was positioning for a third run in 1920, and a lot of people thought heâd be hard to beat before his malaria flared up on him in 1918.
Also, second time was the charm for Jackson, And then thereâs the always difficult to categorize Grover Cleveland thing.
Yes,
"A measured, discrete cry arose from the well-kept and -appointed quiet rooms.
And, yes, the grass roots are finely and meticulously manicured by native-born Americans (whew!) who can trace their lineage three generations before the American Revolution.
I guess I got nothinâ.

Here is what is making me laugh uproariously: According to the New York Times, âHe said the 2016 campaign should center on making the world safer, offering opportunity for all Americans and lifting people out of poverty.â Does that mean that Mitt will propose off-shore tax havens for the poor? Will he personally fund the SNAP (food stamp) program out of his own wealth? I am so anxious to hear his ideas for alleviating poverty.
