5. I am not surprised

Apr 2014

After Christie's collapse, I have been expecting Romney to look at running again. Jeb has a great deal of baggage including his brother. Jeb is not that strong with the base and the GOP donor class would have a hard time fixing the race for Jeb. After Jeb, one of the more likely candidates would be Scott Walker which is why I really hope that Walker is not re-elected in 2014. After Walker, the GOP has no one who would be acceptable to the GOP donor class or the tea party base. I doubt that Rand Paul will be the nominee and that leaves Romney.
