2016 field: Enter Mitt Romney?

[hopper]

It's kinda cute how Romney the Robot thinks he'll have it better this time around.

That's funny...but seriously what does Romney have to offer that's new in 2016 that he didn't offer in 2012 and 2008? In my opinion though he doesn't have a shot in CO and NV in 2016 either in the general election because of his self-deportation comments in 2012. He is damaged goods with the Hispanic Vote in my opinion.

I have to add Romney ran a bad campaign(maybe not the worst though) in 2012. I mean bad messaging, lousy GOTV operations  and not a vision in terms of select policy proposals for the future of the country cost him the election. He just ran against Obama's record and it didn't work.

We need Bush and Romney to go after each other.

That will be an exercise in total ennui. Pity Portman isn't in play.

that sounds like a good description of what the 2016 campaign as a whole is shaping up to be.

TBH, that's what 2012 was. Most boring campaign since 1996.

Really? On the Dem side, yes, but the Republican primary was fantastic. (I'm trying not to be smug about it, God knows Democrats have had enough clown car primaries in my lifetime and will have them again.)

Well the "1972 Dem Primary for President" was a clown car primary no doubt from what I have read about it. Wasn't 2004 as well? I mean Wesley Clark and Dean's candidacy went up in flames. Gephardt shouldn't even have ran probably. He was probably a little probably his past his peak politically since he retired from the US House a little after the 2002 Mid-term Elections.
