So Mitt Romney has a 49-36 head-to-head lead over Jeb Bush and a 24-13 lead over Bush and everyone else when the entire clown car is polled. He also, according to recent buzz in the political world, has a tremendous amount of goodwill left with Iowa and its first-in-the-nation voters and coincidentally leads the clown car there 24-13 as well.
I cite as reference recent ABC and Rasmussen polls.
New Hampshire also is Mitt Romney Country in GOP land and Chris Christie, the biggest Romney opponent in New Hampshire to date, has collapsed due to bridge-gate.
So, your thoughts that the GOP is going to nominate most likely Mr. 47% Mitt Romney once again are what...Also, do you anticipate us defeating Rmoney in 2016 will be as easy, easier or harder than in 2012.

(15,429 posts)From what I've read, he's losing at least half, if not 2/3 of his 2012 funders to Bush.

(36,444 posts)The same mailing list Rove updated, exploited and expanded. Jeb has a very, very powerful political machine at his disposal, and very competent lieutenants well versed in the operation and maintenance of said machine.

(21,925 posts)Other Republicans make me laugh and are part of a hilarious freak show. But there's something about Mitt's unctuous personality that makes me want to vomit, even if he were liberal.
