Larry Kudlow: “Mitt Romney showed once again that he is truly a class act. In his announcement that he will not be running for president in 2016, he stated, ‘I believe that one of our next generation of Republican leaders, one who may not be as well known as I am today, one who has not yet taken their message across the country, one who is just getting started, may well emerge as being better able to defeat the Democrat nominee.’ This was unusual political humility. But let me highlight this specific phrase: ‘one who has not yet taken their message across the country.’ Message. If there’s anything the GOP needs – besides a winner – it’s a confident, incentive-based, pro-growth message. The party didn’t have one last year, but it won the midterms thanks to President Obama’s ineptness. That won’t be enough in 2016. … We’re about a year away from the first Republican primaries. The GOP has a solid bench. But the wannabes must get cracking on the central growth message of incentives, freedom of choice and sound money to unleash a new wave of American prosperity.”
