Been there done that. Republicans are happier that hes not running than anyone else in the country. Mitt romney is watching his people defect to jeb bush. He probably concluded that the support was not there. For purple mountains majesty above the fruited plain can we drop the bias baloney . Either the trees are not the right height or mitt romney likes being able to red herring reporters. Whatever the reason, the political world is saddled with binders full of emotion today on the news that mitt romney will not make a third run for president of the united states. Romney made the announcement on a bittersweet Conference Call with supporters. I feel that it is critical that america elect a conservative leader to become the next president. You know i wanted to be that president , but i did not want to make it more difficult for someone else to emerge so they have a better chance of becoming president.

Thank you, rachel. Today, the wife of the biggest cyber bully in the world said that if you make her first lady of the United States, she will work hard to stop cyber bullying.

These people are stupid. Theyre stupid people. Come on, man i promise you, i will never enter a bicycle race. Stay on point,
They didnt want those either. Then they said they wanted to participate and now they say they dont. All they really want is to hide the president s serious misconduct. Its not working. Jerry Nadlers Committee said quote, if the president has no good response to the allegations then he would not want to appear before the committee. Having declined, he cannot claim the process is unfair. White house correspondent jim acosta joins us. The letter saying the president wont participate. Its not surprising. He said he would like too but thats ha he said about testifying in front of mueller and that obviously never happened either. Reporter right. This is the least surprising news from all week. We saw this train coming a long time ago. One thing i will tell you is that one thing that is not stated in this letter, it does not specifically state that the white house is not going to participate in these proceedings. One of the questions remains this evening whether or not they are trying to rese
