Mitt Romney, that's who. But for how long?
He's going for another presidential bid after saying he wasn't going to run again in 2016. Many conservatives are not pleased. Thoughts?

The most important question is - does he still have his binders?

Jeb Bush will secure the Republican nomination when all is said and done. The political force is strong with the Bush family.

What's interesting is that Jeb Bush is already putting the pressure on Romney by releasing a decade's worth of tax returns. You may remember how big an issue this was for Romney in '12. He was hounded with requests to release information that would give us information as to how much he actually makes (and how much in taxes he pays), and after all that pressure, he only released two years' worth of information.
This is a brilliant political move by Bush. It instantly puts Mitt into a corner—one he can't hide from, and it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

Bush will most likely be the nominee, and next President. Obviously, Mitt remains my first choice. Bush would suffice, otherwise. Romney did fuck up '12, he really should have won based on the political climate....

Jeb is also considered to be a liberal republican. His wife's hispanic heritage will come into play as a positive as well.

George W. Bush was actually more of a lib-Republican, too until 9/11 happened. Romney is to the right of Bush (when it's convenient, of course. ). Oh, Mittens....

The big question is if there is a Republican on the national stage fresh enough to take the GOP in a new direction. The big names in the race as of right now are poster boys for crony capitalism (Chris Christie), retreads of a dynasty (Jeb Bush), a twice-failed contender (Mitt Romney), the mentally impaired (Rick Perry), the son of a failed contender (Rand Paul) and a cast of right wing nutjobs (Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz). There isn't much they are presenting that is new.
Now, if Marco Rubio enters the race, he will certainly shake things up.

what do you guys make of Chris Martins opinion that more than just the US should vote for the president as it massively affects more than just the US?

F**k any of the two major parties. The worlds in a mess and nothing will change whoever is in charge. Black man, black woman, white woman, white man, central left, central right. Nothing will change because the system won't let any actual change take place. R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N ! It is going to happen. The youth and even the middle ages are more disinterested and disenfranchised more than its ever been. Nothing to vote for in any western country as far as I can see.
Viva La Revolution.

If these are the people I am able to vote for so they can so called "lead" me, I might as well kill myself now. I know that the Presidential position is arbitrary to begin with, but what rational thinking person would ever want someone like Rick Santorum to be their "leader?" (Btw I have no educational basis for my opinions so just ignore me haha)

Mitt Romney is a great man, but he's too nice to be President. Isn't he getting tired of getting crucified in the media? They'll be gunning big-time for anyone opposing Hillary; they know they're in deep shit with her after 2008 and she'll sooooooo get her revenge on them if they don't suck up good and proper. Romney don't need this crap, he should enjoy his money, his family, and the rest of his life.
