Like Nixon in 1966, Romney has been proving his worth on the campaign trail in 2014. He is the man in demand. Romney is the most prominent and engaged elder statesman the GOP has on the national stage right now, one Republican consultant told CNN, watching how the former presidential candidate has been a star at fund-raising events. Despite all the animosity that emerged toward Romneys wealth and his record on economic issues, the fact is that Romneys preference for strong deregulatory and regressive policies fits very comfortably with the major thrust of the party. Since Reagans presidency in the 1980s, the heart of GOP policies has not been about social and cultural issues, but rather about aiming to weaken the regulatory arm of the government over the economy. On these issues, Romney has impeccable credentials. As a result, Romney will still hold considerable appeal among major donors and conservative activists, like the Koch brothers, as the candidate who will aggressively pursue their core agenda. The money and endorsements can go a long way. It is not that difficult to see how the nation might witness a presidential campaign in 2016 that includes Mitt Romney. Whether he would be able to take on Hillary Clinton or some of the other potential Democratic nominees remains unclear. But speculation that he might end up as the person the GOP turns to is not that out of the bounds of reason. Read more at the link: #DraftRomney
