ATLANTA, GEORGIA – August 24, 2015 (Gephardt Daily) – It’s the itch that Mitt Romney might not be able to avoid scratching. Former Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone told CNN this weekend that Romney is thinking about getting back into the presidential race.
What changed in just a few months? Stone says it’s former Florida governor Jeb Bush’s “lackluster performance so far in the campaign that is prompting Romney to take another look at a run.”
In fact, Stone says Bush’s “under performance and that paleo diet, he’s got no energy…is why Trump is just zooming past him.”
Stone told CNN’s Michael Smerconish that it was Bush who drove Romney out of the Republican presidential contest in the first place with his early and very large fundraising numbers.
No word from Romney or any of his associates yet. But one of Romney’s biggest supporters in the 2012 presidential race, Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, has already thrown his support behind Bush.
