‘My time has come and gone’: Mitt Romney pushes back as Fox News host begs for 2016 run

Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Sunday declared that his “time had come and gone,” but Fox News Chris Wallace made the case for another White House bid.

During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Wallace suggested that Americans were having “buyers remorse” because a CNN poll found that Romney would defeat President Barack Obama if the 2012 election had been held in July of 2014.

Romney pointed out that the way voters currently felt about him was “irrelevant.”

“The real question is, how is the president doing?” he opined. “You know, I don’t whether you can’t see reality from a fairway, but the president has not seen the reality internationally. And then domestically, we’ve got, what, 92 million people that have stopped looking for work that are out of work in this country?”

If he wasn't angling for another run he wouldn't be giving interviews lime this.

Could still easily be derailed, but he's sniffing around.


Also reading as "very likely": he hasn't done jack to clean up his tax returns, so if he runs he'll just try to brazen the issue out again.

Look at that jackass. Not a wrinkle. Nice shiny teeth. Very little gray hair.
Compare him to any of the workers (many probably STILL unemployed) whose jobs and pensions were taken by Mitt & Co's pillaging, who have had to struggle to get medical bills paid, feed and educate their families, and take care of spouses and parents.

Disgusting.
