He ran twice & lost twice. Why would you want to vote for a loser?

Mitt is not going to run. I voted for him in 2012. But seriously, enough is enough.
Like him or not, he is the only strong candidate we have

nobody wants a 3rd bush in the white house

Considering people are split about 50/50 when it comes to abortion I highly doubt it would be a game changer at all. In fact Republicans would lose votes if they completely abandoned the pro life crowd.

because you said that a right winger would shoot the president, and you said a republican victory in 2016 was delusional

He is not strong enough. And we do not even know who the Republican candidates will be yet. I have a great deal of respect for Mitt Romney, but if he could not beat Barack Obama in 2008 after his first four disastrous years, then that is all we need to know.

Be patient, young Padwan. There will be several strong candidates that you will like this time. Mitt Romney will assume the roll of an elder statesman for the party, with all due respect.

TBH i don't care who the candidate is, as long as he wins and he is a conservative republican with traditional views

From what i've been reading right wingers are the one's calling for the deaths of government officials. Just on this site alone I've read countless threads and posts talking about how they would shoot a government official if they tried to "take their guns" . And as far right now it's a bit too early to call it a republican victory don't you think ??

So that means I'm a liberal? I haven't voted for a Liberal my entire life. I just don't live in a fantasy world.

Republicans don't have enough time to get the minority vote as far as 2016 goes.
