Mitt is certainly unusually antagonistic toward Trump.

It’s very odd for the last candidate, who didn’t even make a run for the nomination this time, to lambaste the putative candidate for 2016.

They usually conduct themselves with a little more professionalism and reserve at that level.

Is his antagonism based on envy of Trump’s success in the financial world?

Or maybe resentment that Trump took the primary process by storm and eliminated any chance for Mitt to get picked as the candidate at a brokered convention?

Whatever it is, it seems like Mitt has some sort of obsession with Trump and the cause isn’t readily apparent.

i think you may be on to something, as i wondered whether Mitt believed when he attacked Trump that that would lead to a brokered convention where he would become the nominee. i believe that he thought they would turn to him after Trump was sidelined. how stupid is that, as i believe the GOPe were using Mitt in order to achieve what the primaries did not, and that is Jeb Bush becoming the nominee.
