Look, as far as I’m concerned, rule number one should be that baseball does not make for a good analogy whenever discussing the running for president, by either the potential candidate or from anybody else. Because far from being a-three-strikes-and-you’re-out scenario, it should be seen more as being a one strike and you’re dead, politically speaking of course. And the reason that I even bring this up is because, believe it or not, there are some folks who are wanting Mitt Romney to make another run for president in 2016. But I say, not only no, but HELL NO!
Anyway, it was during an appearance on MSNBC, just this past Monday, that Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chose to go pretty far out on the political limb by taking the notion of a Romney candidacy one step further. You see, Mr. Chaffetz actually declared that not only will the former Massachusetts governor chose to run again in 2016, but he will actually be occupying the White House one the next presidential election has been decided. Personally I’m one of those who happen to be of the opinion that two chances are quite enough.
Chaffetz told MSNBC, "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, but Mitt Romney has always accomplished what he has set out to do." And he went on to say, "I think he’s proven right on a lot of stuff. I happen to be in the camp that thinks that he’s actually going to run and I think he will be the next president of the United States." Now I’m not sure if this is simply wishful thinking on his part, or what, but Romney had his shot, now is the time for someone else.
And I guess what adds more than a little fuel to the Romney 2016 fire is the fact that it was a recent poll from Quinnipiac University that found 45 percent of American voters now believe that the U.S. would be much better off under a Romney presidency, compared to only 38 percent who stated that the U.S. would likely be in worse shape. The same poll also found that 33 percent of voters now believe that Barry is the worst president since 1945. I don’t think one needed to be particularly smart to recognize how it was that Barry’s agenda was going to play out.
It was while in New Hampshire this past week campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown, that Romney once again said that he doesn’t intend to pursue a third try for the White House. But what he has been doing is to encourage voters to punish Barry by handing to the Republicans control of the Senate come this fall. He told a crowd at a rally just yesterday, "I know that the president is not on the ballot this November, but the people of New Hampshire have a chance to vote on what they think about the president’s agenda."
The day was supposed to be focused more on gaining a Republican majority in the Senate of which Scott Brown’s quest to defeat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen this fall is a part than on any future political aspirations that Romeny might still have. But Romney’s return to the state where he began and ended his last presidential campaign loomed heavy over the event. The rally took place at Scamman’s Bittersweet Farm, the same location where the former Massachusetts governor formally launched his second presidential campaign three years earlier.
Romney was mobbed by supporters after his brief remarks. Several people encouraged him to launch another presidential campaign. And as he has done consistently in recent months, Romney insisted that he has no interest. He said the Republican Party would likely have 14 or 15 very good candidates from which to pick. He said, "I’m going to get behind the one who I think has the best chance of winning." He later added, "We’ll get someone who can win." And on that I will agree with him. We can’t afford to elect another Democrat.
To tell you the truth and this point I’m not sure if there is anyone out there who is capable of ever getting this country back on what would be some semblance of solid fiscal ground. Barry and the Democrats have made quite the mess of things, and very much on purpose. So what I now know for certain is that the very last thing we need to do is to elect another Democrat, and especially someone like Hitlery Clinton. Barry has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that socialism does not work. And Hitlery is just devoted as Barry to that philosophy of failure.
