In reply to the discussion: Mitt Romney to run if Jeb Bush doesn’t, CBS’s Bob Schieffer says [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,962 posts)27. The media HAS been puffing him up a bit in recent months
by making Romney look "prophetic" about Russia and ACA and giving him a platform to attack his former opponent. Doubtful, however, that most people will forget that he explicitly wrote off nearly half the population in the country as not mattering because they are "takers". Plus, just, why would we want him as POTUS? Why would we want another Republican POTUS for that matter?

They might just want to use Romney to make Bush look a little better for primary votes.

Sorry, but 'may actually try it again...' is different than 'will run'.
