Romney in 2016?

[candycorn]

Did any of you read the entire OP, or are four sentences beyond your attention span? Obama's approval rating has dropped 10 points since the election, so the assertion that he would do as well or better in an election today than he did in November is asinine.

Yours is a wholly unsophisticated view of political science. Got your attention?
GWB looks good now because he's not in office making decisions that will piss off 50% of the electorate. A president's approval rating during normal times (absent a war or depression) usually hovers around 50% or so. That he has dropped only ten points in a second term during a scandal and a lot of other controversies is likely a credit to his inherent popularity.

If the election were held today and Romney had to run a campaign for 4-6 months, his "plans" would be highlighted and compared to those of Mr. Obama's and he would lose again by a very wide margin.

Really, are you this unaware of politics?

By "politics" do you mean that we had to reelect our First Black President, despite his obvious incompetence, in order to avoid being branded as "racist?"

In 2008, you may have had a point. In 2012, Obama was and still is the superior choice to Mitt Romney. I've often said that "white guilt" was Obama's real running mate in 2008.

And one of my favorite threads of all time:

It may be wishful thinking, but I think recent revelations (aka "phony scandals") have taken the bloom off that stinkwort.

I really don't know how to explain it to you but when you have an election in our system, there are two real choices due to the money spent and party loyalty. Between two candidates, differences are highlighted. This is what happened in 2012; Romney's plans/actions for getting rid of medicare, the ACA, overturning Roe, letting the big 3 go bankrupt were highlighted and people chose Obama. Fear of racism wasn't on the ticket this time.

We haven't even begun to touch how a plane carrying our Veterans absentee ballots crashed and we never heard another word after that.. How it was "TOO LATE" to get thousands of absentee ballots to our vets...

How did our voting records get so bad?

Various groups threaten local election authorities to not maintain their rolls according to federal law:

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

According to the Columbus Dispatch, one out of every five registered voters in Ohio is ineligible to vote. In at least two counties in Ohio, the number of registered voters exceeded the number of eligible adults who are of voting age. In northwestern Ohio's Wood County, there are 109 registered voters for every 100 people eligible to vote. An additional 31 of Ohio's 88 counties have voter registration rates over 90%, which most voting experts regard as suspicious. Obama miraculously won 100% of the vote in 21 districts in Cleveland, and received over 99% of the vote where GOP inspectors were illegally removed.

Videographer James O'Keefe, known for his undercover videos exposing left wing fraud, caught a Virginia Democratic Congressman's son on video in October explaining how to commit voter fraud. Patrick Moran, the son of Rep. Jim Moran, told O'Keefe's videographer that in order to make a vote for someone else, you'd need two pieces of identification, such as a utility bill, explaining, "they can fake a utility bill with ease, you know?" He went on to advise the videographer that he should also call the voter and pretend to be a polling company in order to make sure the voter isn't intending to vote. He said that Democrat attorneys would be located in the polling places to assist him if challenged casting one of these illegal vote

In another video, O'Keefe's videographer tells a DNC staffer from Obama's Organizing for America that she intends to vote in both Texas and Florida. The staffer laughs and says, "It's cool." The staffer then prints out a voter registration form for the undercover videographer and advises her on what to do if she gets caught.

Fraudulent registrations, of course, open the door to fraudulent voting, something the left vehemently denies. They deny it because the left depends on voter fraud in order to get left-wing candidates elected. This helps to explain why they bent over backwards in recent years to defend ACORN, the voter fraud empire that filed for bankruptcy on Election Day 2010.

Left-wing activists and think-tanks constantly churn out studies and reports financed by George Soros, purporting to prove that voter fraud is as unreal as Cookie Monster. They claim that those on the right want to crack down on voter fraud solely as a means of preventing the poor and minorities from voting

Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler (R) unveiled a study last year showing that almost 5,000 illegal aliens cast votes in the U.S. Senate election in that state in 2010.

A conservative watchdog group, Minnesota Majority, claims that felons' illegally cast votes may have put Al Franken (D) over the top in the bitterly contested Minnesota Senate race. The group reported that at least 1,099 felons voted in that 2008 election, which is far larger than Franken's final, official, post-recount margin of victory over then-incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman (R).

It is too bad that we can't have a redo of the 2012 election. I think a lot of people would change their minds about who they would prefer for President. Do you think he might have a chance in 2016? He is in excellent health and only six months older than Hillary...

A lot of people changed their minds in 2012. Obama took his illegal overseas campaign contributions and paid for a rigged election.

Absolutely and we're just beginning to see the depths of which libruls will slime to for power.. Using the IRS to win an election, allowing Americans to die in Benghazi because it doesn't fit your election narrative of the enemy being decimated.. voting machines voting Odumbo all over when the vote was placed for Romney, Illegals given amnesty with the stroke of a pen, over 1 million, USURPING the US Constitution-- all adds up to a stolen election.. and we all know it.. It won't be that easy this time for you lowlifes.

It may very well be as easy. Dems have perfected the art of cheating and they've paid for the media's silence.

I don't care what anybody denies. Eventually, people will wake up to the fact that they've lost their country and then and only then will they do something about it.

Yup. And in a fair world that alone would have been grounds for a re-election. We no longer own the system. The system owns us.

Did any of you read the entire OP, or are four sentences beyond your attention span? Obama's approval rating has dropped 10 points since the election, so the assertion that he would do as well or better in an election today than he did in November is asinine.

Yours is a wholly unsophisticated view of political science. Got your attention?
GWB looks good now because he's not in office making decisions that will piss off 50% of the electorate. A president's approval rating during normal times (absent a war or depression) usually hovers around 50% or so. That he has dropped only ten points in a second term during a scandal and a lot of other controversies is likely a credit to his inherent popularity.

If the election were held today and Romney had to run a campaign for 4-6 months, his "plans" would be highlighted and compared to those of Mr. Obama's and he would lose again by a very wide margin.

Really, are you this unaware of politics?

Eventually Americans will get tired of a zombie economy and throw out the people that had eight years to fix it and didn't.

It isn't eight years yet, FutureMan. It isn't even five. But I seem to recall we did throw out the people that had eight years to break the economy, and did.

Nope. Very little turn-over in Congress. They are ultimately responsible.

How the fuck Romney won the last primary is a mystery only his zionist handlers can explain. Ron Paul should have won.
