Romney Leaves Cruz off His List of 2016 GOP Stars

WASHINGTON November 3, 2013 (AP)


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."

Romney said he's not going to disqualify anybody. But he made clear that he had given the names of those he thought were "the most effective in becoming elected."

Cruz led the GOP effort to shut down the government in an effort to dismantle Obama's health care law.

That is why Romney lost playing to the press never expressing his real/true ideas and thoughts. Every person named is a RINO and Christie IMO is a Democrat. Defunding the GOP is the only answer back true conservatives who believe in term limits, the constitution and America.

Gee Mitt Romney, all of your nominees support the amnesty for illegal aliens you claimed you opposed.... slick liar.
