Erick Erickson: This Is Mitt Romney’s Time

Right wing commentator Erick Erickson writes:

Mitt Romney has given up on trying to recruit someone for a third party effort against Clinton and Trump. I opposed Romney in 2008 and 2012, but I think the time has come for Mitt Romney. I’d gladly work for a Romney Presidency given the choices between Clinton and Trump.

There is more and more data out there that the time is right for a third party bid. More and more Americans are horrified and disgusted at the thought of voting for either Trump or Clinton.

No one wants to vote for a candidate because they are against the other candidate. People want to vote for a candidate because they like that candidate.

Romney could provide that. I can’t believe I’m even writing this. But seriously, Mitt Romney should run for President again and transcend party for the good of the country.

From Politico:

Erickson, who has said he would never vote for Trump, opposed Romney during his previous presidential runs. On Wednesday, Yahoo News reported that Romney has ruled out an independent bid for president and is not trying to get any other Republicans to take up the mantle despite remaining hopeful for someone else to surface.

Romney has also refused to back the presumptive Republican nominee, attacking Trump for refusing to release his tax returns and previously saying “Trumpism has become associated with racism, misogyny, bigotry, xenophobia, vulgarity and, most recently, threats and violence.
