What our country does not need is a candidate who thinks more of himself than he does the country and the people therein. Despite the fact that some of his statements ring true, Trump would simply be a self-centered king who believes everyone else besides himself is an idiot. We should vote for character and not for a package of clever soundbites backed up by over-confidence. Trump would be an absolute disaster--for the country, for the Republican party as it has traditionally been represented, and for all those who were caught in his trap and voted for him. I believe the only way that makes sense for Romney to run is to have the Tea Party acknowledge he is the best choice for electing someone who puts highest priority on integrity and statesmanship. Otherwise, the far right will undercut him just like they did in 2012 and leave us with an ultra liberal that the majority really don't want if they just think about it.

Please no!

Trump is no joke. He is however, a bombastic, self- centered, super egotistical, dictatorial clown espousing ides that the country needs. Love his themes, hate his sickening buffonery.

Yes I voted for Romney in '12. Yes, we would have been much better off as a nation had he won. Yes, I wanted him to run in '16; his reasons for not doing so made sense and, while it was disappointing, I've moved on. Now I fully support Trump. His candidacy is no joke to me; he has my vote either as a GOP or third party candidate. He is refreshing and his becoming POTUS gives me hope. Were Mitt to jump in, am not sure I'd change my vote; it is however a long time till election.

Trump's no joke! The article is a joke.

I wouldn't say "he [Mitt Romney] blew it." The voters of this nation "blew it." When Romney lost, America may have lost their last chance.

I highly doubt it. I think Stone is tweaking people. Romney has already said no because of the toll it takes on his family. And I'm one of those active Mormons that voted for him in '12 but would just as soon he not run again. He had his chance and I think he blew it.
