If I were Romney and the Republican party approached me to run I would tell them to kiss my ass. They screwed up any possible chance he had to win last time. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

I think he screwed himself with the remarks he made. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

Clinton name though does drag her down in the polls. My sis in-law works at the Clinton foundation and she thinks Hillary is getting ready. While it seems like a done deal, there will be other challengers in the party who do not want Clinton 2.0 and may look to people like Elizabeth Warren. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

That's what's so disturbing to me. Bill left the country in better shape than it's been since, who? He was in office when the budget was last balanced.
Clinton presided over the longest period of peacetime economic expansion in American history.
So he was horny, so was JFK, Jefferson and other good leaders.

Don't know why but her nomination conjures McCain choosing Palin. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Palin? Where on earth did you get that idea?
Elizabeth Warren is intelligent and happens to be one of the most respectable people in American politics right now. Here's a speech she just gave on regulation of campaign finance.

Maybe he can run on a platform claiming Obamacare was his idea, since it basically followed the Massachusetts plan and has been fairly successful this far with none of the dire warnings issued by the Republicans coming to pass. Rate hikes have been fairly flat after 20 straight years of near double digit growth, enrollment turned out decently, and even the last state holdouts to expanded Medicaid seem to be giving in. Shockingly, Obamacare didn't destroy our country.

Romney would run into the same problem as before: anything that would make him electable in the general would doom him in the primary. _________________ “We must always take sides.

That was my reasoning for him telling the Republican party to shove it if they approached him. Governor Romney I might think about voting for, Presidential candidate Romney no way. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

The problem for Romney is that he couldn't run on the couple good things he had going for him (perceptually), but even without that problem, his lack of charisma and the fact that he's far more conservative and corporate than he tried to sell probably doom him. He got out of being the governor because he was going to get killed in a reelection bid. He was veto happy and obstructionist and became very unpopular. _________________ “We must always take sides.
