I\u2019ve decided it is best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become our next nominee\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Romney set up a conference call on Thursday to update his supporters and team about his decision. During the call, Romney communicated his assurance that he would have won the Republican nomination but the road to the presidency would have been \u201ca difficult test and a hard fight\u201d. He also expressed his unwavering belief that stepping aside for another promising Republican won\u2019t hamper the GOP\u2019s chances of defeating formidable opponent Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>The focus of Romney\u2019s message seemed staged to herald the new replacing the old and musty, as he championed the fact that the next generation of Republicans will undoubtedly help steer the party\u2019s future and reignite the fire that has been almost extinguished thanks to the lackluster rhetoric that has failed to energize voters.<\/p>\n<p>Romney also met with former Florida Governor Jeb Bush last week but it isn\u2019t confirmed whether or not he will lend his support to the supposedly much smarter Bush sibling.<\/p>\n<p>Romney\u2019s decision to relinquish his quest for the presidency is definitely a smart move considering his disastrous campaign against President Obama. He was unable to brush off his privileged covering and came across as an insincere corporate raider who was trying a little too hard to present an image that he couldn\u2019t identify with &#8211; all in an attempt to secure a position he felt he deserved.<\/p>\n<p>As entertaining as it would have been to watch him try to make up for his past mistakes, we can\u2019t disagree with Romney\u2019s desire to remain on the sidelines indefinitely.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looks like former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is finally ready to give up on the dream of occupying the White [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1,4],"tags":[1186,62],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.3 -
