Has Mitt Romney changed his strategy from running for president to trying to be president?

He has appeared on TV and other places criticizing Obama. That is the normal MO for job seekers.

He says he won't run for president which is technically true but there are other ways to be nominated.

If he doesn't enter the fray, he doesn't have to embarrass himself by answering questions in front of the nation. He isn't required to give explanations for anything he would do different. He doesn't have to say anything.

However, he has the backing and support of East Coast Old Line Republican money folks. They know that there is no other candidate with a chance to beat Hillary in 2016. Radicalism doesn't sell outside of the extremists circles. He won't try that again.

All Romney has to do is use his influence and money to assure there is no other candidate with enough delegates to win the nomination in the first few rounds of the convention. If he can steer state party leaders in key states to prevent lopsided votes favoring anyone else, he can go to the convention as the astute, impartial dignified, and popular replacement for a hog tied convention.

One has to keep in mind that the RNC only rents the building for a few days so it must be over in the allotted time.

In the meantime, a thousand of more paid fans inside and outside the building are chanting, "We Want Mitt" We Want Mitt" That is usually enough to swing both the delegates and the viewing faithful watching the TV. It won't cost as much as a primary campaign. Done Deal. Just watch.

    Mitt Romney's turds from his West Bloomfield Michigan home of his youth, used to float down the river that passed near my home. They were colorful little floating islands with green fungi growing on the top on top of black water with an oil sheen finish.

    That ended with the Clean Air and Water bill and the EPA to enforce it. There are fish in that river now.

    And what did he say during his last failed campaign? "The first thing I would do as president is eliminate the EPA"

    When examining all potential Republican candidates in the country whether they have announced their intention to run or not; Republicans could not pick a more corrupt, tax-cheating, uncaring, avaricious, stupid person than Mitt Romney. If this country has both a Republican dominated Congress and Mitt Romney as president, it will be the end of us all. Republican middle class included.

    Romney Won 25 States. So did Obama. Romney is as much a President as Chairman Obama.

    Mitt wants more than anything in the world to be President. At least he is better than Republicans, While being one himself.

    He belongs to the one percent (1%).

    He criticizes the president because he has nothing to offer.

    If you had any knowledge of history, you'd know that it's common for the losing Presidential candidate to offer criticism of the President. A role that Al Gore and John Kerry performed for the Democratic party after they lost to George Bush in 2000 and 2004, respectively.

    Appearing on national television to complain about the policies of the President is the "normal MO for job seekers"?

    Ridiculous.

    The only ones who wanted Romney were the left wing media because he could so easily criticized. Same with McCain.

    Don't forget what Hillary said, it's patriotic to criticize the president. Besides, someone has to do the job, Obama is NOT.
