Romney touts Cruz wins over Trump, will not reject GOP nod if drafted at convention

Well there you have it...the real reason that Mitt Romney suddenly emerged from his rat hole two weeks ago, and then delivered a scathing speech directed at the Republican front-runner, Donald Trump.

He wants Cruz and Rubio (with a little Kasich sprinkled in there) to keep battling, to keep Trump under the magic 1,237 Delegate number (and knowing that none of the other 3 can amass enough delegates to pull off a first ballet win) - so that he has a chance to slither in there and steal the nomination on the convention floor!

Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and the Republicans' 2012 presidential nominee, repeated remarks from last week, telling “Fox News Sunday” that he wouldn’t launch an eleventh-hour campaign for president. But he declined to reject being “drafted” at the GOP convention in July to be the party’s general election candidate.

“It would be absurd to say that if I were drafted I’d say no,” Romney said.

R omney Shows His True Intentions

It is beyond me why this 2 time loser would even dream that he would be the last-ditch nominee of choice.

Does he really think that the Candidates who have been working their behinds off, the donors who have spent hundreds of millions to advance said Candidates - and the millions of voters who cast ballots for them - would really stand idly by while he anoints himself the Nominee??

I think the people of America, and the media, need to put this has-been on permanent ignore.

He's already lost once, in an election he should have easily won. When the GOP went back to "study" the election to see what went wrong, one of the conclusions of the study was that the GOP should let the people decide what candidate they wanted. Obviously, the GOP has not assimilated or learned anything from their own study.

Screw Romney!

Was he lying then? Or is he lying now? Or was he telling the truth then and lying now? Either way, if I was a Mormon I would be pissed at how he panders himself as a righteous man after watching this video?

Remember the so called "Rebranding of the Party" after that loss? roflmao They never accomplished that, but Mitt surely dug the hole deeper than it originally was!

Nothing like a rich prick telling the voters he has a way to screw them over because he just can't accept that their votes over ride his arrogance aye?

If me calling Mitt a rich prick offended anyone, just do some research on Bain Capital!

What a desperate nobody.

& just a sure sign of the corruption at the top.


Scum rises to the top though, we should know this.

I recall him standing on stage with all his sons. A question was put forth from the audience about how if he was such a strong American, and his sons with him, in favor of a strong military, why had none of his grown sons served military duty to support their country. He honestly said, that they were serving their country by supporting and helping in his campaign.

Mitt just demonstrating why Mormon and Moron are so closely related.
He is living in the realm of 'wishful thinking'.
Mitt, you have grossly embarrassed yourself, go away before you become even more irrelevant.

Only the GOP can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Fools...

Mittens has about as much chance of being elected POTUS as I do. I'm not a Fox News watcher, but apparently last night Jeanine Perrino did a scathing commentary about Mitt Romney, one thing being his involvement in a shady "university" after he trashed DJT over his Trump University lawsuit.

I think he might be hoping for a deal where he gets the nod and Rubio or Cruz becomes his VP candidate.


That would piss a lot of people off but what’s he got to loose (lose.)


He could rationalize it by saying look Rubio nor Cruz could get enough votes in a brokered convention and they don’t want Trump so he’ll be a hero and take the nod as candidate since there’s no on else.

Rubio lacks the stature and they hate Cruz almost as much as Trump

Great.

A master vulture capitalist running a country that has been decimated by rampant vulture capitalism.

I think this has much less to do with any GOP establishment backing, and everything to do with Mitt being the "chosen one" to fulfill the Mormon White Horse Prophecy

From the linked article from 2012:

...Out of Smith’s national political ambitions grew what would become known in Mormon circles as the “White Horse Prophecy” — a belief ingrained in Mormon culture and passed down through generations by church leaders that the day would come when the U.S. Constitution would “hang like a thread as fine as a silk fiber” and the Mormon priesthood would save it.

“We were taught that America is the Promised Land,” he said in an interview.”The Mormons are the Chosen People. And the time is now for a Mormon leader to usher in the second coming of Christ and install the political Kingdom of God in Washington, D.C.”

Do "They" really hate Cruz as we believe they do though? Controlled Opposition is something very familiar to our government and how they do "Business"?

Not to bring Bernie into this, but Bernie is being outright slaughtered by Hillary and the DNC. Grant you the DNC owes Bernie Sanders NOTHING!!! So why were O'Malley and Webb totally ignored and Bernie is the only one running against Hillary? Why won't Bernie pin her wings to the wall by bringing up the email debacle or Benghazi? Hell he even buffered Hillary on the email scandal!

The Dems knew they could put Hillary up against ANYONE who wanted to run as a Socialist! Bernie knew that too!

All sides are being played and here we are begging for another 4 damned years of being in the same abusive relationship we have been fighting to get out of for years!

I don't every want to hear people bashing a woman for not being smart enough to get out of an abusive relationship, because psychologically the Feds are retaining their power by using the same simple tactics!

Only a total loser would plan to stomp on another and take a nomination he did not earn. This man has no soul.
He did the same thing to multiple companies that he is about to do to the GOP convention. Sell out others for his own profit.

That's because what their electorate wants is quite frankly, insane. That's why the GOP is picking their own, their party has a whole bunch of people who show up to vote that effectively want anarchy. It's just not feasible.

Are Republicans and Romney really stupid enough to think we would vote for him...especially after they co-opted the democratic process? They are going to be in for a surprise if they think they can win with that kind of crap.

I would love Anarchy over the crap we currently have in Washington.

They aren't going to have an electorate in about 6 months if Romney gets the nod and the democrats clear choice is a career criminal. The 2 parties together have created a desire among many to watch the whole system burn.

No one want's their kid shot up.

Are those who support Black Live Matters Republicans? Bet you would love to be eating a peaceful breakfast with your family and all of sudden be surrounded by people demanding you say, "Black Lives Matter"?

Odd how you want to call the GOP anarchists yet is mostly those on the left that support Anarchy?

Well welcome to my view of Anarchy! Trump 2016!

We have chosen our tribes, and are hell bent to defend them to the death! OR ARE WE? Being selfish and narcissistic is why we are at this critical juncture.

Guess it's all a matter of perception?

I personally am tired of the whining, being a victim, being called a racist, a bigot a xenophobe and any other name those who preach tolerance wants to call me!

Game over, I am all in!
