The plan has been and remains to be to put Bush in at the convention.

Bush said last year, “I will lose the primary and win the general.”

Hell no Myth. No more of your left wing tactics disguised as conservative. This poll shows that you basically made us stronger in our support of Trump.

Thirty-one percent of Republican voters surveyed by Morning Consult said they are more now likely to vote for Trump, while 20 percent said they are less likely to vote for the real estate mogul. Forty-three percent said Romney's comments had no impact.

Among Trump supporters, 56 percent said they are more likely to vote for Trump after he was denounced by Romney, while 5 percent said they are less likely to vote for Trump. Thirty-six percent said their opinions were not changed.

And among those who voted for Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, his speech was less helpful in curbing support for Trump: 30 percent were more likely to vote for Trump, while 20 percent were less likely.

It made me more likely to wish to have Milt Romley help me with a field test of the pulling capacity of my truck.

Just sayin'.

"I think it was a trial balloon floated by the establishment trying to gauge the reception Romney would get if he were offered as a compromise candidate at a brokered convention. I think it failed."

Myth's trial balloon turned into a Hindenberg event!

I am HIGHLY amused they sent out Romney to do this. A goldfish would have done better.

Of course, the key isn’t to go after Trump voters, but everyone else (a much bigger number) but still. Romney? What a bunch of maroons.

So the establishment is attacking Trump for failed businesses. I know that all those successful businessmen like Col Sanders had one idea and they hit it out of the ballpark. Sometimes businessmen have their Obamacare moments too.
So Mittens is the nominee. Well I won't vote for him again. And I live in California so this year I am writing in my own name. The democrats will pick up the GOPe playbook and batter Mittens with Bain fails, paying taxes, destroying companies and jobs.
The USS Mittens will never make it out of dry dock.

Romney is a POS everyone can enjoy hating.

But it probably did a lot to hurt Ted Cruz . . .

[DungeonMaster]

It helped Trump.

[DungeonMaster]

It helped Trump, it hurt what’s left of the Republican party.

[Jack Hammer]

Romney, the Marxachusetts democrat, remains irrelevant.

[Harpotoo]

Romney was speaking for and to the establishment. As for US Voters, EF him and the station wagon he drove in on!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Mitt Romney, previous Designated Loser who took a dive for the Usurper’s re-election, has no influence except with the donors.

[Savage Beast]

It did a hell of a lot to hurt Romney!

He made a fool of himself.

Romney’s vicious attack should have given Trump a +5% bump.

[SunkenCiv]

How long before someone pulls aside the tinfoil long enough to say that Trump is behind it?

[JerseyDvl]

I notice that NOBODY wants to report on Romney’s approval level or amount of support to run himself. It would be in single digits.

The REAL bolster to Trump's numbers is Miley Cyrus’ promise to leave if he wins!

...I kinda thought she was against him...

Maybe she's a double naught spy.
Clever reverse psychology on the part of Trump's advisers!
