GOP Rep. Believes Mitt Romney Will Run in 2016 and Win

Remember Mitt Romney? He ran for president in 2012 and there’s a “Draft Mitt” movement to get him to try again in two years, in spite of Romney’s response earlier this year to the big 2016 question being the word “no” repeated eleven times. But one Republican believes Romney will, in fact, attempt a run again and he’ll win.

Congressman Jason Chaffetz was on with Chris Matthews tonight, and the subject of Romney’s 2016 aspirations came up. Matthews wondered if Romney looks at all these polls showing people like him more in retrospect and rethinks trying a third time to run for president.

Chaffetz said Romney is definitely considering it, saying, “I happen to be in the camp that thinks he’s actually going to run and I think he will be the next President of the United States.”
