These friends of Romney, are they related to Rip Van Winkle? https://t.co/dEcRjjq48u

Time for GOP panic?
@DRUDGE_REPORT Hardly. Maybe some donors are panicked since Jeb! is not gaining. But voters seem satisfied that the process is working.

You have got to be kidding. Romney LOST. He would lose again. The people will decide who the nominee is.— Deirdre Robinson (@DeirdreDrdr) November 13, 2015
@DRUDGE_REPORT name names so we can remove them! Who is the GOP?

Consider it done.
Only the GOP leadership would think that the solution to Trump is Mitt Romney https://t.co/v7NpflHO8Z

If this Romney thing happens, I’ll be blamed and then I’ll have to commit seppuku to atone for my shame

Fifth GOP debate:
“Mitt, you’re just like Jeb. Low energy.”
“Ha ha ha. Terrific.”— Allahpundit (@allahpundit) November 13, 2015
I love stories like this. “Mitt Romney’s closest friends are privately discussing him jumping in. Oh also, with two WaPo reporters”

Some wise words:
Guys, Mitt Romney isn't about to get drafted for any damn thing. Speculation is fun, but speculation is ulimately also rather stupid.

Listen: when Mitt Romney's "friends" discussing him getting into race? It's garbage. If you hear ROMNEY HIMSELF discussing it? Whoa nelly.
