Today’s R&D covers the 2016 presidential prospects of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.  Although Romney lost the 2012 presidential election to President Barack Obama and has said that he has no interest in running for the presidency again, political observers speculate that he might be the best candidate the Republican Party can field in two years.  Romney’s case for the White House has been strengthened over as his arguments on the campaign trail about elements of the Affordable Care Act, Iraq, and Mali have been proven true. Romney appearances are in high demand by Republican candidates seeking office in 2014, which could strengthen his chances of winning endorsements should he decide to run in 2016.
