The general gist of Mitt's speech: We understand you little stupid 47 percenters Trump supporters are mad, but Marco will help us (or you can vote for Kasich....or <shhh>one of the other people running ... cruz...and then we can steal it at the convention). You people are soooo stupid because you don't know Trump is a con man...uh, phony. He is not rich or successful and will destroy everything...I mean, he will hurt us domestically and internationally (don't mind those respected advisors around him). We need someone honorable as our candidate like Rubio (ignore the gutter/trash talk). Listen to me and we'll win this election (just ignore the fact that I'm a loser that lost one of the most winnable elections in modern history).
Why would anyone want Mitt Romney’s political advice?
I agree...
Quote:Mitt Romney is back, offering to share the sage political wisdom that won him the White House in 2012.
Oh, wait. President Obama beat him — despite a sagging economy and terrible approval ratings. Indeed, Obama became the first guy ever to win a second term in the White House despite drawing fewer votes than the first time round.
More than 3 million fewer — while Mitt added only 1 million to John McCain’s disastrous 2008 total.
Romney actually popped back in the news half a year ago — when he (reluctantly) opted out of the 2016 race because he figured Jeb Bush had a better shot.
Anyway, on Thursday, Romney speaks at the University of Utah on “the state of the 2016 presidential race.” By all accounts, it’s a bid to rally the anti-Trump cause and set the agenda for that evening’s GOP debate.
Because a one-term governor of Massachusetts — the author of RomneyCare, the model for ObamaCare — is the obvious guy to save the Republican Party.
He’s definitely gunning for Trump — his opening salvo came last week when he suggested there might be a “bombshell” in Trump’s tax returns.
(Hey, at least Mitt’s learned something: That’s the same shot-in-the-dark cheap shot Sen. Harry Reid tossed at Romney for months back in 2012.)
In fact — as Utah’s Sen. Orrin Hatch said outright to CNN — it looks like Romney’s aiming for a deadlocked GOP convention that would then nominate . . . him.
Because he hasn’t led Republicans to enough disasters.

The would be your true wet dream. That way, your Queen - Hillary - would win without it really be competitive.
BTW, I think IF Trump is the Republican nominee - he'll beat Hilldog. She's just far too unlikable.

this has been mentioned here several times, but Trump can't run third party at this point. Sore loser laws will keep him off the ballot in nearly every state.

Us Republicans are caught between a rock and a hard place. We definitely don't want Killary and we can't afford a nut job demagogue like Tramp.
But it seems many Reps have forgotten one VERY IMPORTANT aspect of this race. This nation cannot afford to have the Demoncrats win because of what's at stake at the Supreme Court. Another Lib there would be the last piece that is holding this country together to come tumbling down.
So, even if you hate Tramp for what and who he represents you better think about what political thought is placed in a SC robe.

It's the Republican Party and they have every right to support fellow republicans over someone else.
Trump should have gone Independent or ran as a Democrat.
It's posts like this that make me realize there's a segment of Republicans that still don't have a clue what is going on.
No, I'm perfectly aware of what's going on. However, any Republican, regardless of how far they are from the center of Republican power they are, are being labeled "establishment" by the Trumpites. It's become the boogeyman word of choice. It dilutes the true meaning. Just like using "racist" against any and everything. Ironically, Trump is the "anti-PC" candidate but is using the same tactics against his opponents.
Establishment means that you are part of one of the 3 wings of the GOP, military, business, religious.
Cruz- Religious
Rubio- Business, Military
Kasich- Business
I don't actually think there is a 'military' pillar unless you are talking about neo-cons. And I don't think they have much influence inside the GOP these days. IMO, there's the Religious Right, Pro Business Elite, and small gov't Conservatives.

You could say there are two wings-the paranoid and the sane!
But really there more than a half dozen.
The Goldwater Republicans have split into:
Tea Party-Cruz, Rubio, Perry
Libertarian-Paul
The Nixon Republicans have:
Neocons-Gilmore
Main Street-Bush, Kasich, Walker, Jindal, Fiorina
The Rockefeller Republicans are much diminished, but still have:
Rockefeller-Christie, Pataki, Graham
And there are the former Democrats:
Social conservatives-Carson, Huckabee, Santorum
Reagan Democrats-Trump
Perhaps the problem is that nobody has really represented the Reagan Democrat section of the party in a while. And the social conservatives are under attack by the media and the left and are looking more to a strong man than moral ones.
I would call that accurate....you put some thought into that one.....
and with trump being a reagan democrat is what makes the rnc lookie bookies evenz dumberererererererererz
