GOP Rep. Jason Chaffetz: Romney Will Run And Win In 2016

NICOLE LAFOND – JULY 8, 2014, 3:21 PM EDT

While on MSNBC’s "Hardball" with Chris Matthews on Monday, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) made an enthusiastic prediction about Mitt Romney’s future.

"I think he actually is going to run for president. He probably doesn't want me to say that. A hundred times he says he's not,” Chaffetz said when asked how he would advise the former Republican nominee if Romney wanted to run for President again.

“Mitt Romney has always accomplished what he set out to do. I think he is proven right on a lot of stuff. I happen to be in the camp that thinks he is actually going to run and I think he will be the next President of the United States,” Chaffetz said.

Chaffetz isn’t the only one optimistic about a Romney 2016 run. An anonymous website, DraftMitt.org, has now collected over 50,000 signatures of people who want Romney to run for President in two years.

Which shows how unqualified the GOP bench is.

But, once again, if you do not believe in government, may be the most unqualified person is what you want.

He's going to have to understand that he'll be bringing Queen Ann along, and weigh her sense of entitlement to be First Lady against her distaste for anything that resembles effort - ("Stop it! This is hard!&quot .

I'm all ready for the jokes:

'His favorite flavor is...vanilla!

His favorite color is...beige!

He is......The Least Interesting Man In The World!'

"I always run for President. And when I do, I LOSE! Corporations are people, my friends!"

...pot on the inconveniently public beach adjacent to his La Jolla beach home.

That constitution still hanging by a thread four years later?

Please trot out Ann and then watch the MSM push some narrative that HRC is out of touch?!?

“Mitt Romney has always accomplished what he set out to do."

So he set out to lose in 2012? Good job, Mitt. You da man.

I'll bet DraftMitt is run by the LDS church. Those old creepy bigots can't wait to get one of their chosen one into White House. From there it's just a push of the button to get the end times rolling.

Time to stock up that Year's Supply brothers and sisters.

Because he probably has an even smaller chance of (legitimately) winning a presidential election than he does a marathon. Not even his own party's base likes him.
