Mitt Romney leads the Republican field among New Hampshire primary voters for 2016. Yes, you read that right.
Why not make it a third run for president? That’s something that the former Republican nominee is definitely not thinking about right now. To put it in his own recent words: “Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.”
But that didn’t stop the Virginia-based bipartisan policy firm Purple Strategies from adding his name to a recent survey for Granite State voters, which shows Romney in the lead with 25 percent support. Libertarian firebrand Rand Paul (who has strong infrastructure in New Hampshire) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are behind with 18 percent and 17 percent support, respectively.
We might be experiencing Mittmentum 3.0. The Netflix documentary about his 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns was recently released to the excitement of political insiders everywhere. GOP insiders want him to come back: “You know what a lot of them say to me?” an anonymous “operative” told BuzzFeed. “I think we need Mitt back.” Romney was even on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to slow jam the news.
So are we sure he’s not running again? “People are always gracious and say, ‘Oh, you should run again,’ ” he said in an interview earlier this month. “I’m not running again.”
He’s done this kind of race before. He’s got the staff. He’s got the loyalty. He has the money. Time has passed.
Is there a chance? “I think that Chris Christie and Paul Ryan and Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, and the list goes on, have a much better chance of doing that,” he said in the same interview, “and so I will support one of them as they become the nominee.”
Maybe, maybe not.

Yes, why not – the country can always get sicker. why not after obama and the others. If you are not part of the problem you are part of the cure, and by voting it seems that people are the big part of the problem…… When was the last time a damned politicion ever did what they said they would do or even fight for?
More of the same nothing changes.
Yes Susan – you are right as they are self serving devious bastards is all that they are, and they – TPTB – realy do not give a rip about anything except for getting their own way – just like a bunch of spoiled bratty little kids, and that is what people are voting for when they vote – from the meter maid on up to the PTB all overr this world. Yep, they are all laughable – well not really I guess as they are everything but laughable – they are just plain sick.
when i saw this i said. YOU GOTTA BE SH*TTEN ME.
Yes indeed, we need someone who can relate to the poor and the unemployed. “Hi, I’m Mitt Romney, your new boss and your fired! Go get a job, oh that’s right, I sent all the jobs overseas. Welcome to Tent City bitches!”
yup Millard that about says it all.
Sure, why not? They need to have an unelectable Republiscum to make Hillary the Hutt’s “victory” seem real and legitimate.
WHAT election???
You have a point #1.
Exactly.
ARE YOU F**KING SHITTING ME???
Man this world gets more and more insane as time goes on.
Yes, let’s have a rematch of Obama and Romney again. (I’m sure Obama will change the Constitution to make it ok to run for a third term)
Why do I feel like we are living on a broken record or in a time loop?
Twilight Zone…….
