Would he be the Republicans best option immediately after announcing his desire to run? Does the GOP need this badly to happen?

Definitely more Respectable than all the Other Republicans Running, Although that is Faint Praise.

I think they'd have more luck if they dug up Reagan's moldering body and ran it

Reagan's corpse probably would have beat Candy Crowley in a debate.

I don't know if Mitt WILL run, but I think he SHOULD run. That way there will be at least one qualified candidate running for the Republican Party. And in all honestly, it doesn't hurt that he's "easy on the eyes"...that alone will land him a lot of votes...I personally do not vote on looks alone, I'm just keeping it real about how shallow many of the American voters are...deep down, we all know the American people don't want an ugly President...We're a land of "vain sheep that don't think too deep"... Although this may be sad, it is somewhat true. :-/

Will Mitt Romney announce his candidacy for President?

It would be a waste of his time and Trump would crush him. If all the other candidates dropped out and endorse one candidate they may beat Trump, but otherwise no way and it is too little too late. Even when Jeb dropped out a good chunk of his voters went to his nemesis Trump. Adding Romny would do nothing unless others dropped out too.

CW4 (Join to see) I think that is highly improbable. He did not do well against Obama and would do equally poor against "Obama in a skirt". The only way Hillary will be defeated (because there are enough stupid in this country to vote for this pathological liar criminal) will be for someone like Trump to take her on and pull no punches. Romney could have done that with Obama, but failed to, deciding to "play nice" in the po0litical cesspool. One thing for sure, if the race is between Clinton and Trump (which certainly appears to be the case), it is going to go nasty fast. Both sides will be slinging mud the likes of which we have never seen before... The sad part about it is that most of it will be true (on both sides).

Having said all that, I would still vote for anybody before I would vote for Hillary Clinton.

I do! And I believe he should! I'm not a Republican! But I believe he will set some things in Order and Bring some Dignity back to the Republican Party!

I don't think he'll announce he's going to run again...but I do think he'll talk about the current state of the GOP and in a round about way, talk about Trump and how's he is upsetting the "balance" of the GOP.

CW4 (Join to see) Romney was a nice guy and couldn't pull the trigger, be denigrating and forceful when he had his turn. Now he wants to make an impact? TOTAL BS, nowadays he resembles leftover MREs.

Is it too late to enter the race with so many primaries down? And God, I hope so. I can't stand the guy, but it would save me from having to choose between a guy I think will wreck the country in the WH and a woman I think doesn't deserve another tenure there.
