The Washington Examiner found that 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney sounded very much like a man who would be interested an independent run for the White House Thursday. He was “dismayed” by both major party candidates and unwilling to support Donald Trump on the GOP ticket.

But the Examiner‘s Philip Klein reported that Romney wasn’t volunteering to be the independent candidate himself. “No, I’m certainly going to be hoping that we find someone who I have my confidence in who becomes nominee,” he said. “I don’t intend on supporting either of the major party candidates at this point.”
