Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, told a accumulation of supporters on Friday that he would not seek his party's choice for admiral in 2016.Mr. Romney, the above Massachusetts governor, aggregate his accommodation on a appointment alarm with a baby accumulation of advisers. In a additional alarm to a beyond accumulation of supporters, Mr. Romney said, "After putting ample anticipation into authoritative addition run for president, I've absitively it is best to accord added leaders in the affair the befalling to become our next nominee."

In an added than four-hour affair endure week, Mr. Romney's top agents associates and trusted admiral from 2012 relayed a sobering absoluteness - they accurate Mr. Romney and anticipation he would be the best president, but they did not necessarily animate a third run. Word of Mr. Romney's accommodation beatific after-effects through the Republican donor apple aboriginal Friday, as Romney aides began to telegraph the account to donors and added agents associates and strategists. He is appointed to accept banquet with Mr. Christie on Friday evening, according to two humans with ability of his schedule, suggesting that Mr. Romney may be because throwing his support, and that of his own political operation, to Mr. Christie.

Mr. Romney is an individual who comes from so many years of privilege, as well as having been the 'top dog' so often; I doubt he is interested in taking the VP position. Whoever eventually gets the GOP nomination they will likely select one of the less abhorrent Tea Party favorites (e.g. Cruz, Walker). That will put that constituency behind their ticket. As a (now former) establishment candidate, besides Mormons, Mr. Romney would offer roughly the same constituency as the presidential hopeful on the ticket (i.e. assuming the GOP will go with a more mainstream candidate). A cabinet position? Maybe. But...the White House must be won first. I think he realized that the money men in the GOP were not going to back him. I've no doubt that Mitt thinks he's the best man for the job.

I wonder what he was promised for not throwing his station wagon with his dog strapped to the top (a shout out to Gail Collins) into the ring. Mitt made a good choice. His 47% comment will follow him the rest of his life, mostly because a lot of us believe it truly reflects how he and the GOP feel. The destruction of the middle and working classes and the amassing of 50% of the world's wealth in the hands of one percent of the world's population has been where this nation has been going since Ronald Regan. Mitt was just another part of that, and I don't see any Republican planning to run who is any different. Clearly the real money men gave Mitt an offer he couldn't refuse. The fix has always been in with Bush. It's going to be very amusing watching the big money destroy Christie, and then wipe out all the far-right loons from the Clown Car. Then it will be even more fun watching the Kochs’ throws almost a billion dollars down the same rat hole they used in 2012, when Hillary wipes the floor with Bush.

Good move by Mitt! It was clear he could not connect with the average voter and we would have seen his third attempt at the White House fail. This was a man who changed positions more than the Santa Ana winds and could not be counted on to stick to any policy position he put forward. The Republicans will now attempt to find a consensus candidate. Good luck with that! Mitt is probably the best candidate that the Republicans can come up with. His unwillingness to run is an acknowledgment of his limitations and his party's limitations. They have, through their talking points, legislation, obstructionism, court rulings, alienated the nonwhites in general. They have become the party of that are anti-minorities, anti-immigrants, anti-science and anti-common-sense; it is now a party full of hit men for the wealthy. Thank god gerrymandering is much harder than on the local level. Otherwise the Republicans would also win the presidential elections with the lesser of the popular votes.
