Mitt Romney announces potential 2016 presidential run

[Saiwania]

I want George P. Bush before Jeb Bush, but would be willing to give Jeb a chance. I'm not in favor of Romney because he already lost an election and its more of a gamble to go with a failed candidate in the hopes that they'll win a second attempt.

[Romalae]

God, I can't wait for the Republican primary. It's gonna be a real shit-show this time; gonna make for some good entertainment.

word

its going to be just as good as last time. will the sane candidates be able to stand up to the pressure of the nutjobs? I doubt it. itll be fun to see jeb repudiate every reasonable stance he has ever held.

Just as good? I think it'll be better than last time around. There's a whole new array of nutcases that are being poured into the Republican cauldron.

[Equusia]

If he does I hope to god he dosent win. We can't have a Republican controlled congress and white house

Apollo help us all if that happens.

while the democratic race is likely to be rather boring with the debates being more an advertisement for mrs Clinton.

Elizabeth Warren, and Alan Grayson.

Warren seems like a strong willed politician who cares about the American people. But, when it comes to policies and pragmatism, I feel that she relies more on populism and anti bank rhetoric.

Grayson? He has two years of experience, so I know little about him. He doesn't seem particularly progressive.

Even if that was the case for Warren, that's a helluvalot more she's ever done in just one pinky alone than Obama ever did in both his senatorial and presidential years combined.

[Draica]

Oh dear. I don't think my party can survive another Romney, we need a Ben Carson or a Rand Paul, not some flip-flopping robot.

[Gauthier]

The privatization of everything and a guaranteed Randian class stratification? Why do you make that sound so bad?

Ok, explain who. The so called "nutcases" in the eyes of liberal elitists interest me, because in my view Harry Reid(Who's considering a run) and said why would we pass a bill to help dying children is a nutcase. Elizabeth Warren is a nutcase. Clinton is a nutcase.

Biden surely is a nut case.

So tell me, who are these nutcases.

lol ben carson

it makes as much sense to elect a doctor to be president as it does to select a politician to take out your appendix.

[Arlenton]

Massachusetts is on a role...

[Burleson 2]

The last thing we need is another RINO running for president. It didn't work in 2008 and 2012, it won't work in 2016.

harry reid is too damned old. he isn't considering a run

biden isn't a nut he is simply a man who says what he thinks even when what he thinks is stupid.

Rand Paul is an unelectable batshit douchebag, just like his nutjob father.

Rand Paul is an unelectable batshit douchebag, just like his nutjob father.

And Ben Carson is a Republican Token.

Alrighty, let's keep electing Senators and career politicians who don't give a damn about America. Ben Carson is a common sense guy, he has amazing credibility and was the first nerusurgeon to seperate two twins conjoined at birth.

He can help America out greatly, esp. the black community.

You're using of ad hominiem is very intellectually correct and spot-on.

So tell me, why is he an unelectable batshit douchebag? In debate we back up our opinions with facts.

I mean Obama was a community organizer and a Senator and a lawyer. What was his critera? -Cough- His race - cough-.

Just because you're on a liberal website that doesn't mean I won't challenge you on your views.

How would he specifically help the black community?

Neither will an actual "Republican".

Good neurosurgeon, not so good president.

I don't care if he's a "common sense" guy. Their appeal is dubious and adds no merit to their skills. Besides, all members of congress were once common sense/practical family values loving first time politicians running for office.

Okay, remember how Joe Biden had to spend decades in the political wilderness because he got caught lifting some passages from other politicians' speeches for his own oratory?

Ben Carson didn't just plagiarize entire passages for his book, but plagiarized passages for a book that included a passage in which he talked about having plagiarized works for a paper at his university, and how he should have known it was wrong despite never having heard of the term (which brings up an entirely different set of issues, but we'll leave that for now).

How long do you think that he should be knocked out of contention for that?

he has the politics of a child. he parrots stupid tea party talking points without an original thought in his head.

and he suffers from surgeon syndrome.

about as quickly as it will rand paul.

that's the kind of thing that only matters if you are a democrat.

Mmm. Point. There does seem to be a comfort level with a certain amount of shamelessness and hypocrisy in the top ranks of the party right now.

Hillary is merely a DINO just as much as Obama. And please do pray tell how exactly Warren is a nut case.

Oh, is that what people are saying he said now? Amazing how that story gets just a touch more inaccurate every time I read or hear it.

Elizabeth Warren is a nutcase.

How so?

Clinton is a nutcase.

She's about as mainstream a politician as you'll find out there, equaled only by...

Biden surely is a nut case.

...that guy.
