You guys thought my previous 8,000 posts speculating about a “Romney 2016” campaign were just an elaborate goof, huh? As Bruce Campbell said to his severed hand in “Evil Dead II,” who’s laughing now? Dude, it’s happening. Mitt Romney will give a speech on the state of the 2016 presidential race on Thursday, his office said. Romney is scheduled to address the Hinckley Institute of Politics Forum at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City on Thursday morning, according to an advisory sent to reporters. Utah holds its Republican caucuses on March 22, a day after the last scheduled debate in Salt Lake City announced last month. “This is not an endorsement or announcement of candidacy,” a source close to Romney tells the Boston Globe. We could have guessed that from the setting. If Romney was jumping in for Rubio, he’d do it at a campaign event in a state that’s set to vote soon, like Michigan, not in a speech out in Utah. And if he’s planning an independent candidacy, he’s certainly not going to announce it before Florida and Ohio vote on March 15th. That would wreck some of Rubio’s (and Kasich’s) anti-Trump support by signaling that Romney thinks the primaries are all but over and it’s time to focus on the general election. So no endorsement tomorrow and no independent run — yet. This does, however, look an awful lot like Romney putting himself back on the radar of #NeverTrump conservative voters at the very moment that they’re starting to look around for an “in case of emergency, break glass” candidate. I think that’s the theme he’ll pursue tomorrow: Never Trump. He’s going to say that Trump is unfit for the GOP nomination for a hundred different reasons, from his temperament to his leftish policies to his proclivity for scams like Trump University to his dodging when asked about David Duke in that interview with Tapper. In order to make it clear that he’s not trying to bigfoot the primary candidates and discourage Republicans from turning out to vote over the next two weeks, he may also make a point of saying that Rubio, Kasich, and even Ted Cruz would all be fine and acceptable choices for the nomination. The takeaway, though, will be that conservative voters must have a principled choice available to them in the general election. They can’t be forced to decide between two liberals from New York. He won’t say who that choice will be or that he has any plans to run; it’ll be a pure “conscience of a conservative” speech denouncing Trump. But I think it’ll also be clear afterward that if Rubio can’t close the deal in Florida on March 15th, you may be hearing from Romney again. And the next speech will be a little more concrete than this one. Here’s the newest ad from the anti-Trump Super PAC Our Principles. If you don’t like the Republican version of this, maybe you’ll like the Democratic version of it coming this summer better. Update: Yep. According to Bloomberg Politics, this speech will be all about Trump. Mitt Romney will lay out his case for why Donald Trump shouldn’t be the nominee of the Republican Party in a speech on Thursday in Utah, according to a source with knowledge of the remarks… Romney doesn’t believe Trump is the right person to lead the party, and wants to make his case before the New York businessman can start coalescing party leaders, the source said. Romney probably won’t endorse, or enter the race, the source said. Yeah, endorsing Rubio at this stage would be odd if he’s planning to announce an independent candidacy soon. As for freezing party leaders by coming out strongly against Trump, that’s fine but it has a shelf life. If Trump wins Florida and Ohio, a few stern words from the reining nominee tomorrow aren’t going to stop Republican congressmen from climbing onto the bandwagon. Hard to see this as anything other than a declaration that conservatives will have a candidate in the fall, whether that’s Romney or someone else.

This friggin LOSER should just STFU. The guy couldn't beat that bozo obama, but he thinks his stupid opinion matter.
who lost... to Obama... in the fifth year of a depression, with foreign wars being lost... So go ahead, Mittens, do your worst. Trump is quivering in fear, I'm sure.
The guy couldn't beat that bozo obama, but he thinks his stupid opinion matter. " Yeah. He thinks his opinion matters, but there is a pile of dog crap in my back yard that is worth far, far more than Romney's opinion!

Hell, i wish I'd voted for that pile of dog crap rather then loser romney.

Willie-Mitt Trump Oh noes... another NE progressive Republican, like Trump! This will split the real Republican vote evenly between Willie-Mitt, The Donald, and Hildabeast. Who do you support as a presidential candidate? Just curious.
Walter B. Jones(R-NC) or Thomas Massie(R-KY), but they're too smart to want the job.
Who in the hell really GAS what loser Romney has to say ? Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

The Stormin' Mormon is addressing the John Hinckley Institute of Politics Forum, you say?
The Stormin' Mormon Mitt Romney's only qualification for attempting to do anything is his life is his father's last name. Other than that, he has been a hereditary mediated catastrophe. He is to be avoided by people unlike himself at all costs.
I see that's from the John Hinckley School of Pugilism & Political Assassination.
I guess he just enjoys losing. Maybe he will choose John McLunatic as his running mate? ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Sounds about right. This is probably a last-ditch effort to convince at least some GOP voters to unite behind Rubio so the GOP doesn't end up with a brokered convention and a loss to Hitlery. And Romney himself would be a likely convention pick and certainly would be in the smoky backroom if such a deal to stop Trump is hatched. I wouldn't be surprised to see Stain and other prominent Republicans give similar speeches in coming days.
I'm leaning toward John Kasich in the KY Pubbie Caucus on Saturday, March 5th. Anything wrong with that? He's got executive gubernatorial experiences after all; none of the others have that. Edit: Chubby NJ governor does too and he's on the Trump 757 jet.
Who gives a rat's ass about Romney? Jeb!?
Anything wrong with that? He's got executive gubernatorial experiences after all; none of the others have that. He pushed the Brady Bill. You should vote for Cruz or Trump.
Tha faggot foam boy will never win. Not possible. He is to liberal. He is also a liar. He wanted to compare dick size with Trump. He's just a stupid faggot.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Stain and other prominent Republicans give similar speeches in coming days. I could see Trump run as the nominee of another party. Or he could win a right in campaign. I'm voting against my Republican Senator and Congressman this time. One is a faggot and the other fucks a woman who isn't his wife. Portman and Turner.
Satan's face or orange face? No, thanks. Your governor might be the right guy.
Portman and Turner. Which one screws wimmins? He might get my vote.
He sucks. You must like gun control, faggot marriage, Obamacare, and baking cakes for faggots.
He's my guy. Thanks for the clarification.
Maybe that is why TLBSHOW doesn't hang here anymore. His best bud went to the dark side.
Stone - Did you hear that Trump wants MORE money for PlannedParenthood? He thinks they are just the best thing since sliced bread.
Did you hear that Trump wants MORE money for PlannedParenthood? He thinks they are just the best thing since sliced bread. Buck you are not telling the truth. He said planned parenthood did many good things. But they will not be funded as long as they do abortions. I didn't really like him saying that. But if you think about it even though I hate them. They do help a few people. Still I'd rather put them on trial for murder.
Thats why I bring it up to you. Every one of these presidential candidates (as all policial "hacks") are a composite of their own choices for picking preferences out of thin aire. You are akin to the same jerks with this silly comment: You [Fred Mertz] must like gun control, faggot marriage, Obamacare, and baking cakes for faggots.
Trump is like Bloomberg. Lifelong liberal Dem, using the GOP as a party ticket to run on. Typical for New York. Trump is an independent candidate, using the GOP as a convenient ballot access and to avoid having to run against two major party candidates. I know you have a big man-crush on His Orangeness but that is a very accurate summary of Trump's candidacy.
John Sexton over at Hot Air said it best. "It’s hard to imagine this is going to have any impact on Trump. If the Pope’s suggestion that Trump is not a real Christian had no discernible impact, how much is the word of a former politician who lost the last election going to matter? Trump will call Romney a loser a few more times and move on. Romney might be more effective if he were to endorse an alternative candidate. As it is he’s not throwing his support behind someone, he’s throwing it against someone. But he’s been doing that for a week already. Has it mattered so far?"
That and we get a lot of carpetbaggers . Trump thinks he has a shot to pick off NY because he's a favorite son. That is delusional . NYC dominates politics in this state, and they have a Sandanista Mayor. Trump is going to destroy Romney and make sure everyone sees this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-e92jqug0w "If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." Plato
And I don't even know how to bake a cake. I'll bet Pebbles has that feminine skill down pat.
I think the more, and harder the GOPe trys, they are only widening & deepening the fractures in the Republican party. They will end up going the way of the Whigs. They will try to blame everyone else, but it will be the fault of the conceited establishment. Ef em!!

President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood A friend will help you move ,But a good friend will help you move a body..
Well you know what I think of Trump . Romney's diatribe was a low blow .

It seemed out of character, like someone put him up to writing a speech they wrote for him to deliver. He was a little less wooden than most people recall, tried to bait Trump to attack him repeatedly. I notice Rubio echoing all of Romney's talking points tonight at the debate. There is some definite coordination going on between Rubio and the GOPe.
It is clear that the PTB in the REP party do not want Trump as the REP nominee. The question is why? IMO the answer has more to do with they knowing specifics as to why Trump is a fraud, a con artist than fear of him upsetting their apple cart by not playing ball with them.
потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
The real problem is the common man, otherwise called true citizens, do not have a vote about the political system, much less the government which is supposed to be controlled by the citizenry.
Because Trump will deliver the presidency to Hitlery.
I believe she is going to be indicted in Summer of 2016 (this year) She is out and Trump is out. Wanna bet your baseball cap?
