Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney is going “full Mississippi” with claims about Donald Trump’s taxes. It doesn’t matter that there is no basis for the ridiculous assertions – the truth and/or facts are not what matters when you go “full Mississippi”…. it’s a strategy!
The absolute worst thing Donald Trump could do is to respond to it. Responding to the provocation is exactly what they want. Dismiss it like you would swat an annoying gnat.
Mitt Romney – “The reason that I think there’s a bombshell in there is because every time he’s asked about his taxes he dodges and delays and says, ‘Well we’re working on it,'” Romney told Fox News.
“We’re now, you know, in late February and we still haven’t seen either Donald Trump’s or Marco Rubio’s or Ted Cruz’s taxes,” he added, referring to the two US senators challenging Trump for the nomination.
“Frankly the voters have a right to see those tax returns before they decide who our nominee ought to be.” (link)
There is a specific reason why Mitt Romney is saying this. There is also a specific reason why this specific reason, income taxes, is being used. Here’s what’s going on.
First, why Mitt Romney? The GOPe is positioning Romney to step into the 2016 presidential election either as a vulgarian alternative in a brokered convention, or as an independent alternative (third party campaign) to carry the torch of the traditional republican party – because the party cannot accept total and complete defeat.
However, in order for either approach to hold any possibility they first need to try removing Donald Trump. This “full Mississippi” approach is essentially the power-brokers within the RNC positioning an alternative.
Yes, the GOPe are violating the terms of the party loyalty pledge they previously made Donald Trump sign; but with foot soldiers being used to create plausible deniability, they will deny it. The people now constructing the attacks against Donald Trump are the same people who met in DC in February 2014 and finalized the GOPe roadmap to nominate Jeb Bush.
The GOPe are positioning. They are manufacturing alternatives to the failed roadmap that Donald Trump shredded as he used their own splitter strategy against them.
The GOPe apparatus, writ large, are positioning alternatives. Mitt Romney is the selected tip of the spear, the insurance policy, the means. They cannot advance alternative strategies unless they have a figure head ready in the event they are successful.
This all goes back to the original 2014 scheme. Again, for emphasis: did you really think a 44-year-old freshman senator with no executive experience, a family, four kids, and no status or accumulated wealth, would give up his only paying job and mount a long-shot presidential bid unless he was being manipulated or pushed to do so? Think about it. Be intellectually honest with yourself.
Do you think it’s accidentally ironic for Mitt Romney to be using “income tax returns” as the flash-bang grenade to suck up media oxygen? Of course not. This is strategery at its highest level. The GOPe players who coordinate this stuff know the irony will be part of the media narrative.
The irony expands and amplifies the effect of the flash-bang grenade. The irony, by design, also makes it more difficult to ignore. The “irony” is intentional. The irony is part of the plan. The irony is embedded into the story to make people draw attention to the accusation.
Seeing some clarity now?
“Full Mississippi” by design is intended to make the target respond. All framework within the “Full-Mississippi” attacks are intended to suck up media oxygen.
The most successful “full Mississippi” attacks cannot be ignored.
Mitt Romney is participating in a much larger plan, this absurd claim today is not mere happenstance. Because Romney is the GOPe’s Alamo, this is why Mitt Romney has not endorsed Marco Rubio.
The GOPe are planning to take down Donald Trump. The GOPe want Mitt Romney to fulfill the role formerly assigned to Jeb Bush. The GOPe know Marco Rubio is insufferably weak and will not win the nomination…..
…. he was never intended to.
Know the scheme. Train yourself to understand how they play the game. We can and will defeat them. There are more of us than them.
Apologies if this has already been posted. I did a search.
You put it together very well, thank you.
This is great information. Needs posting every few hours on a page role. LOL!
Thanks, Bratch.
Save your breath Romney.
And how's your "Honest Mitt's Mobile Kennel / Uber for Doggies" franchise going?
Trump taking Mitt to the woodshed on Twitter tonight.
Frankly, I am sick of this. If a presidential candidate doesn't think that his tax return is confidential, then he doesn't think that my tax return is confidential either.
Mitt is Harry Reiding Trump.
If anyone doesn’t think the IRS has already looked over Trump’s returns for illegalities that they can go after, They’re not paying attention. Both parties want Trump gone.
This is actually different than the one I posted.

The one you posted goes into detail about Mitt’s part in this.
So the GOP want to keep Trump from getting enough delegates so they can have a brokered convention and put Mitt in or they will run him third party.
In other words, they are willing to commit suicide rather than let “us” take over “their” party.
How Trump would respond if Romney had reference someone else.
That is a brilliant point.
And I might add that if his tax return meets the approval of the IRS, what it contains is none of our business.
So what can We The People do to derail the GOPe Roadmap?
Beyond voting, what can we do to thwart their plans? How can we help?
Because the rat Willard Romney ALWAYS goes
after conservatives, their wives, their spouses,
and especially .... their children.
At least it takes the rat Willard Romney away
from imposing his own gay marriage and ObamaCARE
— and then lying that he did not, as he always has done.
It will be interesting to see if Rush has anything to say about this. However he may just ignore it as a hot potato.
Ignore Mitt. He is so Irrelevant in this 2016 race.
Good points.
They could run Romney as a Perot type to get Clinton in there. Hillary is acceptable to the Uniparty. Trump is not.
I actually saw on a betting site Romney was listed at around 5% as the potential nominee a few days ago.
So there’s money being bet on Romney by those in the know already.
Excellent point he was chosen to raise the issue knowing it’d get the ‘isn’t that ironic’ treatment.
They believe they can pull the “Trump is so rush he can’t know the problems of you loser supports” card like they did with Romney. Romney ran from his wealth and success. Trump revels in it and shows it is a sign he’s the man for the job. Doesn’t do it for personal profit.
