Politico: The Case for Mitt `16

[IceSpear]

Romney got 47% of the vote, so I fail to see how it's a moral victory that 45% think we'd be better off if he was president...

In all seriousness, "Mitt '16" sounds a lot like "Kerry '08". I seem to recall the media taking the latter very seriously as well, and consistently claiming that Kerry was "doing what he needs to do" in order to run again in 2008.

Hmmm. I don't know why, but that sounds awfully familiar.

I like your thinking!  That line sounds exactly like what Hillary is "doing" right now.

The difference being that neither Kerry nor Romney held/hold overwhelming leads in both the primary and the general election.

What states could Mitt possibly win against Hillary Clinton that he couldn't win against Obama?

Hillary might lose Colorado, but she can easily make that up with NC/MO.

The only two polls that have included Romney show Hillary beating him by a bigger margin than Obama did in 2012.

I hope Politico got all the clicks they were hoping for. The phrase "damaged goods" doesn't even begin to describe Romney.

It describes every single Democratic candidate to an even greater degree. Fact is the next president will be a Republican, and Mitt is the best choice for the Republican party.

LOL

Let me guess, you also thought there would be a Romney landslide in 2012?

The Republicans have a stronger field this cycle, a lot better than the jokers that played 2012.  That, along, with Hillary Clinton repeatedly shooting herself in the foot with her gaffes, might eliminate the need for Romney to run again.  Romney wouldn't be able to do much because he's a has-been.  Jeb Bush has a stronger chance, because the name of Bush is not near as toxic as it was in 2008.  Plus, Jeb is unlike his elder brother.  After what a lot of Americans view as the worst presidency since World War II under Obama, the name Bush may actually sound pretty appealing and even comforting.  There's no need for Romney to run.  The GOP can do quite well without him.

lmao.

Please enlighten us on how Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Jeb Bush are strong contenders. Maybe in the fantasy world/bubble of Faux Noise where people honestly thought Mittens was going to win in 2012 (despite every poll saying otherwise), the same people who are still probably looking at the numbers in Ohio. Lol

If the "most electable" Republican couldn't unseat the Kenyan Marxist socialist antichrist martian communist Nazi Barack Hussein Obama, there's no way Willard is going to defeat Hillary Clinton. #CaseClosed

Don't forget that Hillary lost to the same "Kenyan Marxist socialist antichrist martian communist Nazi", and keep in mind that Hillary is such a good candidate that she needs to constantly be bloated up by feminists and the media in order to appear viable.

Well as we all know, it's much easier for a Kenyan Marxist socialist antichrist martian communist Nazi to win a Democratic primary as opposed to a general election.
