If you want a more balanced view, read our local morning paper's take on it:

http://triblive.com/politics/politicalheadlines/10081451-74/trump-romney-nominee

Best snippet it this:

The trouble is that having someone such as Romney lead the anti-Trump charge might make the task more difficult.

“He's exactly the kind of establishment person people were turning against,” said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute.

Maybe the Mittster is trying to be subtle. My Daddy always told me that the best way to get a hog to go north is to face it south and hit it in the backside with a board.

Chances are that Mitt just secured the nomination for Trump with this speech.

The GOP and Romney had zero fight in them against Obama and dems. But when it comes to their own base, they go all in!

The GOP treats Trump and his supporters the way they should treat illegal immigrants.

The GOP protects the borders of it's exclusive frat club political party the way they should protect the borders of America.

If the GOP cared about American sovereignty the way it cares about GOP sovereignty, we would be a real nation.

Gop is purposely losing this election

As they purposely lost the last two. They don't want to muss the hair of their masters the Marxist Democrats and the NYT! As long as they get to go to the parties in Georgetown and on Long Island they are content.

Well... I can see Romney’s point. Self deporting of the illegals is the only real solution. Put a million dollar fine on any business employing illegals and viola... no job market, illegals take themselves back home.

That’s a lot different than, round em up and throw them out.

And he’s right about why most people are voting for Trump.

But, that’s not the only reason. A lot of us are just happy somebody is standing up to these arrogant snobs in the media and on the left. He fights. And he’s not nice about it.

I think Trump is a social democrat ... but I think he’s a fiscal Republican.

I honestly don’t see that Donald Trump has a leftist agenda that he wants to push. I don’t think he will hurt this country. And those two things are key.

I don’t think he’s into social engineering at all or even cares.

I DO think he wants to go head to head with China.
I DO think he wants a strong military.
I DO think he wants credit for fixing the economy, which I think he will go after with a passion.

And that’s good enough for me.

... just my thoughts.

I read another coomment somewhere that said putting Mitt Romney on stage to deliver this message was kind of like sending a crew-cut Marine veteran gym teacher to Woodstock to tell the hippies to clean up their act. Who do they think is going to listen?

The NYT is talking about us friends.

Yep...and so was Romney. It's not just Trump they (media, GOP) hate, they hate his voters even more.

Mittens and McCain tried talking us out of voting for the Donald yesterday. The only GOPe loser we haven’t heard from is Dole. Maybe he will show up today.

"The GOPe must promised him something special."

They didn't have to promise him anything. All they had to do was play to his vanity. "You are a respected elder statesman whose party needs your wisdom and sage advice, Save us Obe-wan Kinobe, you're our only hope."

Can you actually picture the stoic old guard Kasich, submitting to the younger brash President Trump willingly? Standing a step behind and not having the final say..?
