Mitt Romney Drops Out of Republican Candidate Race
Three weeks to the day since he informed a group of Republican financiers in New York that he was serious about a third presidential bid, Romney has decided to end his political career. He has officially told supporters that he would not attempt a third bid for the nomination. Romney's decision to forgo a run, made over the weekend in consultation with his family, came on the heels of what associates described as "frank" and "clinical" strategy session with his closest advisers in Boston last Friday at the offices of Solamere Capital.
This article is relatable to our curriculum because it involves aspect of the government such as political campaigns, the actions of a candidate, and the process of becoming the president.
I feel that Romney made the correct decision dropping out of the race. He was never a strong republican candidate and he has cleared a path for better candidates to make a run at the White House. His failed attempt to become president last year against a weak opponent show that he would have a harder time winning this year. This is why I agree with his decision to forgo the Republican candidate race.
Hey Lucas, I agree with your opinion. I think it's smart that he dropped out, since he would really have no chance to win, and he's just take away from other republican candidates.
ReplyDeleteHi, lucas. I agree with you- many times in the past someone who has lost ran again for the office and I think only one or two actually won. Mitt Romney only beats Dr. Ben Carson and Ted Cruz in the current polls (hillary clinton v. possible republican candidate) so he's just going to draw funding away from other Republicans, which may be fine with me, but it is not beneficial to the Republican party.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you. I think it was a bad move on his part and bad for the Republican Party. First I think he would have an easier time winning this upcoming election since the democrats will be readjusting and the Republicans have control of Congress. I think it's bad for the party because no one really jumps out at me that could challenge for presidency.
