Romney: 'Circumstances can change'

[BillB]

I started a thread a few weeks ago saying I thought Romney would run in 2016.
Most people here thought he wouldn't because he and his son had said he wouldn't.
Now Romney says he won't run BUT circumstances can change.
This means he will run.
Never underestimate the flip-flopability of Romney.

I said it back then and I'll say it again. There's a big hunk of people that will never ever vote for a Morman. They consider it a cult rather than just a branch of the Christian religion.

Where are these people who won't vote for a Mormon?
Romney carried the Bible Belt and most of the Mid-West.

Yeah, and he lost. They are in the middle of the country, in fly over country. Most of them have never met a Morman. And a lot of them are not going to vote for one because the consider them kooks.

Well.... we elected a muslim, give me the Mormon.

We elected a Catholic once too. See how long he lasted?

They are statistically zero.

Romney had the world's most loaded question thrown at him.

"what if you're the only one that can beat Hillary and all of your family and friends convince you of that etc etc"

[GFB]

If you listen..it is Hugh Hewitt that says "Circumstances can change". Romney just says.."yes, cimcumstances can change..then goes on to say..the chance would be "one in a million."

..and.."If all the guys who are running got together and said..we can't do it..you're the only one that can do it..that would be the one in a million"

That's NO, folks!..even while being tortured and tricked into an extreme situation.

[BillB]

Romney will run if he thinks he can win.
I just read that he is leading among the Iowa caucus participants at 35%. His closest competitor is 9%.
If he continues with those kind of numbers, he will run.
He want's to deny it now to keep from being a target before he has to.

I let the moderates/establishment talk me into voting for Romney in 2012. I'll not do it again. I will return to voting for the most fiscally conservative candidate on my ballot.

If the candidate isn't committed to real spending cuts in the double digit percentage range, then I will not consider him.

The president wields all the power on the budget. All he has to do is veto whatever is sent to him. You'll never get enough of congress to override a veto, regardless of which party is in power.

What state, specifically, do you think went for Obama that would have voted for a non-Mormon Republican?

It's hard to say. But Obama can't run this time. And whoever takes Ohio will win. Why would you run a Mormon from Utah against Hillary Rodham from Illinois and expect to win Ohio?

[Red Oak]

Because the lying grifter Hillary will carrying the States with the most lying grifters I guess.

Having a (half) black running changed the whole dynamics of the last 2 elections. Racists voted against Obama because he was black. White liberals voted for him for the same reason. Now, it's back to normal, two white people. People vote for the person most like themselves.

A report by The Des Moines Register said the event was dominated by Carson's supporters who travelled from areas like Kansas City and Minneapolis. Carson won 62 percent of the 261 votes in the poll while his closest rival, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, got just seven percent of the votes. Texas Gov. Rick Perry got four percent while the remaining votes were scattered among several other potential 2016 candidates.

Appearing on the O'Reilly Factor Tuesday, Carson told host Bill O'Reilly that he is already raising money and putting a team together should he decide to run for president in 2016 after midterm elections in November.

I don't agree that whoever takes Ohio will win. They may or they may not.
Whoever takes a majority of the electoral votes will win. It doesn't matter where they come from.
Hillary Clinton carries too much baggage to win..IMO. There is hardly a lie that she hasn't told and she's been caught in all of them.
I'm not even sure she can win the nomination.

If it's like the last 12 elections, whoever take Ohio wins the electoral vote. Hillary's baggage is with the right wing. If the Democrats think she can win they will all vote for her. There is no close 2nd.
