Mitt Romney dropped a few hints about his potential 2016 presidential platform, should he choose to embark on a third run for the White House.
Speaking Friday at a Republican National Committee meeting in San Diego, the 2012 nominee spoke of “three principles” for Republicans in the post-Obama era, which he said the next presidential election would be about, according to CBS News.
“First we have to make the world safer. Second, we have to make sure and
provide opportunity for all Americans regardless of the neighborhood
they live in. And finally, we have to lift people out of poverty,” he said, adding that if a GOP candidate stands by those principles, “Americans will be with us.”
Romney also joked about “speculation” regarding his potential campaign, which he has stoked recently by telling donors that he’s seriously considering a 2016 run. “Let me state unequivocally that I have no intention of running for U.S. senator of Massachusetts,” he quipped, per CBS.
I’ve heard rumors that he’s going to make an all-out push for apple pie, too. Bold initiatives!
These principles will surely set him apart from the Democrats, who have a long history of allowing terrorists to fly planes into our skyscrapers, of denying opportunities to people from "bad’ neighborhoods, and of trying to figure out how to provide less help to the least fortunate members of our society.
Hi I’m Mitt Romney and I’d like to speak directly to all the poors. I know I dissed all y’all in the last election when I ragged about the 47%. That was rude and hurtful and I want to make it up to you. I feel you. Now I want to lift you up in my strong arms and save you from yourself.
I figure the only way the poor will vote republican is if we make you all rich… so, okay. Let’s do that!
Are you with me?
When you read that his focus is going to be narrowing the income equality gap, you have to either laugh or assume this must be the Onion.
Run, Mitt, Run!!
Maxaroo stands proudly with you.
Mitt Romney concerned about the poor? Sorry, Mr 47 %, that dog won’t hunt.
