Drudge in huge red letters-move to draft Romney

Just saw this on the Washington Post.

They don't think Carson or Trump can make it and will guarantee a HRC win.

But I don't think Romney can make it. He's lost before. Unless all the Republicans vote for him just because he is the only viable candidate.

Wow. This is the absolute weirdest election.

I agree that this is a bit of a weird election cycle for the GOP, however this is just more talk and not much substance. They will eventually sort out their ticket and frankly it doesn't really matter much who they pick, it will be someone that makes a whole lot of noise and offers nothing positive for the people.

I like Hillary and Bernie so I kind of like it this way.

Romney at least appears to be sane which would be a step up.

his lord that way. (As the sane one.)

God will still need his man in charge of America's nuclear arsenal come the apocalypse (apparently practically any time now), and we know Romney is 100% committed to his god's service. He has said so many times, and I feel we should believe him.

6. Weirdest for sure! Romney did float his possible candidacy

early on. I read in the Washington Post or NY Times that one of Romney's previous big donors immediately gathered others together to send a message to Romney that none would support him for 2016. That was supposedly the end of that. Wonder what those guys are thinking now.

13. Republicans didn't care about Romney in 2012. They only voted for him because his name wasn't Obama.

What makes anyone think people will care about him now that they're begging him to run?

he got out of the draft when he was younger by slogging through war-torn France on his mission.
