I was gearing up for his return. I had all my Romney is a flip flopper, Romney the chameleon posts from his last failed bid ready to go. I wanted to see how Romney was going to flip flop on his positions for this 2016 run, but my fun and enthusiasm just came to an end as Mitt Romney announced that he is not going to run a third campaign to become President of the United States.
In a conference call with his supporters, Mitt Romney said that he is confident that with their support he ciuld win the nomination if he runs in 2016. But he is convinced that at this time running is not his best option.
“I am convinced that we could win the nomination, but fully realize it would have been difficult test and a hard fight,” Romney’s prepared remarks on a conference call with supporters said.
And he partiality shuts the door to being drafted by his Republican colleagues.
“I’ve been asked, and will certainly be asked again if there are any circumstances whatsoever that might develop that could change my mind. That seems unlikely. Accordingly, I’m not organizing a PAC or taking donations; I’m not hiring a campaign team,” he said.
