Will Magnanimous Gesture by Mitt Romney Cause Other RINOs to Follow Suit?

Mitt Romney, a good and gracious man of moderate political views, took the noble step of removing himself from consideration for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.

He claims to have done so for the best of the Republican party and America. As reported: After a three-week flirtation with another run for president, Mitt Romney said definitively on Friday that he will not seek the White House in 2016.

"After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I've decided it is best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become our next nominee," Romney said in a statement, which he planned to read to supporters.”

Romney took his action, one supposes, based on a realistic assessment of his prospects for victory, following two bitter defeats for the top job, especially the 2012 contest in which incumbent Barack Obama seemed incredibly vulnerable. Conservatives in the GOP have been vociferous in warning the likes of Romney and other so-called RINOs, that America is on the verge of falling into progressive oblivion, a fate that must be reversed by installing a bona fide conservative in the oval office to heal the rot and disintegration brought about by eight years of Marxist socialism at the hands of Barack Obama. The big question: Will Mitt Romney’s patriotic act resonant with other dangerous RINOs, like Jeb Bush, in sufficient force to save America in 2016?
