Yep, we’ve been hearing for months that Trump is not a real conservative. And now the real conservative from Massachusetts will come to lecture us all.

Romney is the bookend to Geo. HW Bush, bracketing the period in which the GOP squandered the Reagan Revolution in favor of playing along with the progressive project to fundamentally change America from a Republic of free citizens to an agricultural combine where the people are kept as docile stock to be harvested for votes.

Really, why is Romney getting involved? Can he/they not see that he was a big part of why the republicans lost in 2012?

They just don’t get it, do they. It’s the establishment that’s the problem. The go along to get along RINOs. The great promisors that don’t deliver. The compromisers. The spineless. The GOPe, of which Romney is a member.

Even Chrizz Sizzlean gets it.

Romney unleashes scolding blast at Trump, who begs, “Oh, beat me, beat me, Mitt!”

I had forgotten about Romney’s aristocratic tone deafness. And that of the GOPe in general. Did Prince Rebus request this favor of His Mittness?

It is not that they do not get it. It is called DENIAL!

The GOPe and Romney still do not get it.

Maybe they will read this post and it will finally sink in:

WE ARE MAD AS HELL AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!

This is going to be two-edged, emboldening both factions. It escalates the uncertainty.

If Romney had attacked Obama then like he is attacking Trump now, things may have been different.

You are so right. He disenfranchised his own voter base, let Candy and other moderators OWN HIM. Never counterpunched Obama, it was maddening to see at the time.

But now, the loser goes on the attack against a Republican while Hillary the criminal smiles on the sidelines..

I don’t think we will hear Romney attacking Trump for flip-flopping on abortion, this was a guy who proclaimed he was to the left of Ted Kennedy on the issue when he ran against Teddy for senator.

[Even a dedicated lib like Cilizza can see this.

Only the stupid desperate GOPe can’t.]

That is so shocking, it is worth repeating. The GOPe is totally blind, deaf and dumb. It is hard giving up monolithic power. Wait til Ryan and McConnell buy a clue.

No, they know exactly how stupid they look. They’re just willing to do it to keep illegal labor flowing.

Perhaps Trump asked him to do this.

If Trump actually paid Mitt to do this, my admittedly low opinion of each would go up significantly.

These are the new Cruz talking points, that Trump put Mitt up to trashing him and praising Cruz to prop him up.

Rep. Louie Gohmert just said it on Fox Business News. Said it’s the lowest thing Trump’s ever done to get Romney to trash him.

I think this is Cruz trying to shake off the establishment stigma but crazy times. I can’t see Trump risking something like that, too many other ways to go. And Mitt is 100% establishment.

It's all about the money.

Trump has said he WILL NOT BUY MILITARY equipment we don't need that's overpriced and obsolete.

Military ‘contractors’ the same people who donate big bucks to Lindsey Graham and John McCain who are running the show against Trump. That's where the money is coming from...

Romney, being a double negative, is a plus for Trump.
