He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals.... met this week with William Kristol, who is pushing for a third-party alternative to Donald Trump and  Hillary Clinton... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillaryand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Dean Rusk... . "He came pretty close to being elected president so I thought he may consider doing it, especially since he has been very forthright in explaining why Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton should not be president of the United States," Kristol told the Washington Post Friday. Kristol, editor of the conservative Weekly Standard, told the Post that he and Romney had met on Thursday in D.C. And he said that even if Romney doesn't want to run himself, Kristol hopes he will support another third-party candidate. "It was not like, ’You should do it.’ I wouldn’t presume he’d do it. But I’m hoping that he begins to think about it a little more," Kristol said. "His name is one of the names part of the discussion." Posted by: Fred 2016-05-08 |
