WASHINGTON
Mitt Romney isn't including tea party favorite Ted Cruz among the Republicans' most electable potential presidential candidates in 2016.
Who does the 2012 GOP nominee put on his list of "very capable people?"
His ex-running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
But Romney says New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie "stands out as one of the very strongest lights."
Romney was asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" whether Texas Sen. Cruz is a "potential light."

(5,330 posts)Must be because Christie lost so much weight... because we already know what Romney thinks of "plus-sized" folks.

(13,877 posts)Tea Party power, and like most populist movements, it will dissolve back into the traditional party.
Only question left is whether he can be re-elected...especially after being forced to apologize for his outrageous behavior to his seasoned peers.

"Gee Mitt, so tell us who you think will be a shallow emotionless weenie just like you were, we want to run them in 2016."
