Prediction: Mitt Romney will Run in 2016

[justoffal]

He probably doesn't even know it yet though.

I believe he is sincere when he says he isn't running again. I believe that Romney is well aware of the " Losers" curse that can follow a candidate into an election next time around. There are a certain number of people in any voting block who just remember the loss and don't look any further.

However Romney is polling way out in front of al the other potential candidates...could be this is a form of conservative suicide or it could be that it's time to simply stick to the guns.

Moderate Republicans...otherwise known as RINOS .... always fear the independent vote. However I submit to you that as feckless as an independent can be at times one thing they usually respect is a person who knows what he wants and produces a strong, perhaps somewhat opinionated albeit well meaning message.

Obama had such a message in both elections.... he may have been full of shixt......but he sounded like he meant it. ...

Romney tried too hard not to hurt people's feelings. Fact is liberals are hurt just at the thought of any one else existing...nevermind disagreeing. You can't placate a liberal. Nothing you give up will ever be enough for them... You have to agree to stop breathing...then and only then will you get the left wing seal of approval.

If Romney takes the nomination and runs a Fire ball campaign.... he'll beat Swillary handily. If he tries to reach out and placate...she'll eat his lunch.

I think you're right....good post! I hope he does decide to run, but only if he's going to play tough. He has to. Hillary's very good at lying, AND she'd be the 1st female president. We all know how liberals like to elect 1st's just because. I'd love to see a female president, but I wouldn't vote for one just because she's a woman.

Prediction: Mitt Romney will be the next president and will raise taxes/ pardon 30M Mexicans who entered USA illegally to obtain a Obama Green Card, along with free Obama welfare subsidies.

I suspect that quite a few conservatives who decided that Romney was too moderate for them and stayed home are regretting that they did that.

Unfortunately, there are still plenty of conservatives who will not vote for such a moderate and will still stay home and then whine if a Democrat wins and screws them over.

As usual, it is the independents who will call the shots. One would hope that independents would be able to see through Hillary's pull to the center as being fake and would be smart enough to realize that on a 3am call, she wouldn't be there (Benghazi).

You're right that Romney cannot be "nice" this time around if he runs. The pulling of his punches is a great part of what lost the last election for him. We need a President who will stand up for what's right and not back down at the last moment it it requires that he be a little "mean".

Romney may be too nice for the job. Hillary is quite mean enough, but her stance is wrong. We need a GOP person that is as mean as Hillary and as right on the mark of things as Romney.

Hahahahaaaaaaa! That is a stitch!

Placate?!?!? Romney was the INSULTER! Every where he went he insulted people and did not placate anyone! He goes to a car race and insults the people for their rain apparel, he goes down south and insults the people with their CHEEESEY grits. He goes to England and insults them so abruptly the following day the headlines read: MITT THE DIM-WITT.

Romney was condescending and arrogant and pompous. That placates no one that I know!!!

Please, JO, your killing us here with your historical revisionism and absurd characterizations of Romney's last horrific and cringing campaign! What you call "placating" everyone else called " The Great Insulter"... Look up placating it is rather the opposite from the term insulting.

Romney insulted almost everyone! Everywhere.

Romney nice???????!!!!! What campaign did you see? He was condescending and belittling and repeatedly sent out the message: I am a rich arrogant SOB who cuts jobs and screws people and insults them and as long as what I do it makes my backers money that is all that matters. Well, jen that may be okay to some people in business (the backers and Righties) but in Governing that does not work!

Plus he came off as stiff as a heavily starched stuffed shirt! That is not "nice" in anyone's book!

Romney insulted most of the republican base and they were too stupid to realize it. that 47% he maligned is primarily seniors on SS and veterans. what a dumbass.

The Great Insulter! Did it again!

Yes, he insulted everyone!! But the Righties, desperate to get Obama out of office, smiled and nodded their larded heads as Romney walked on their bent over backs so he would not soil the soles of his expensive italian leather shoes!

already had a female president=Ellen Wilson.............after Woodie's stroke she ran the house the last 1 1/2 years...........libs can give up on first female president rants.

But Ellen hadn't been ELECTED President, so that doesn't count. Libs want to be able to vote the 1st woman President into office....I would too, if it's the right one. Hillary is definately NOT the right one!

Yes!!!!

Oh for cripe sake. You pick on just one thing said and that is all you do and dismiss all the rest! Do elder Righties teach you this or are you born with it? The ability to ignore 10 things and just select the one you want and then imply this is all that was said.

President Romney will be just another Bush/Obama/Mao administration.

I hope Romney will save himself the time and trouble of making another Presidential run. The man should just kick back and enjoy his retirement---spend time with his family, travel, be active in his church. I hope he stays out of it. He seems like a nice man.

I agree with you that there's a good shot of Mitt being on the 2016 ticket. But, I don't agree that he'll beat the Dem candidate. If Mitt runs in 2016, it'll be for the same reason he did in 2012. It'll be because the GOP braintrust know they can't win no matter who they run.

Frankly, I don't think they WILL be able to win, no matter who they run. But, I'd still like to seem them put forth a positive and forward looking candidate that at least starts the process of them redefining themselves. Running a placeholder like Mitt once, was bad enough....but doing it for a second campaign running, will be lamer than lame.

Voting trends tend to be very consistent. It looks like the Republicans are going to make another big hit in November and because of that the momentum will most likely swing back to the Left in 2016...... The sixth year of any Presidency seems to spell doom for his party.

To say nothing of the vicious insults he hurled at Obama all day long.

Willard's entire campaign was based on negativity, leading GOP cultists to conclude that Willard's flaw was that he was too nice and positive.

My prediction is that the left will completely forget and, if confronted, heartily disavow that they labeled Hillary a racist in the 2008 primaries.
