Last Thursday, in a speech delivered at the University of Utah, Mitt Romney blindsided Donald Trump in what amounted to a scathing indictment of the billionaire’s ability to lead the country.
"If we Republicans choose Donald Trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished," Romney said, in an apparent effort to play party elder. "If Donald Trump’s plans were ever implemented, the country would sink into prolonged recession," Romney continues, hitting Trump on the economy. "A few examples. His proposed 35 percent tariff-like penalties would instigate a trade war and that would raise prices for consumers, kill our export jobs and lead entrepreneurs and businesses of all stripes to flee America."
More important than what Romney said (after all, it's not as though he's the first person to essentially call Trump a demagogic lunatic who has no business being President) was what his speech represented: all-out panic on the part of the GOP establishment.
This is it folks. Trump is on the verge of winning the nomination and although most still think he can't beat Hillary, the national election is a wildcard. If Trump can go from laughingstock to presumed GOP nominee in nine months, there's no reason to think he can't ride the populist wave all the way to The White House.
With diplomats the world over voicing their concern, and with America's reputation on the line (of course we can debate about what's left of that reputation after Bush and Obama) heavyweights from across America's political aristocracy and business community are scrambling to figure out how to derail Trump's momentum.

Wasnt so secret, this is about the 10th thread on it.
Apple CEO Tim Cook at secret meeting with tech and government elite plotting end to Trump run
Need to and “Dark forces” and maybe even bilderburger and tri-lat so it can be used as a card in Illuminati
NeoCon Island. Is that anything like Fantasy Island? Somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle where you approach at your own risk?
If I were a stockholder of Apple....I’d be asking questions why my CEO wasn’t fully focused on the company. It sounds like this guy needs to retire and just do political chit-chat.
Did you stop to whine on all 10 of those threads or just this one?
Are Republicans just stupid most are Democrats
Landing the plane inside the volcano sucks guys, just to let you all know.
Trump’s negatives are terrible.
How does he continue to poll “in the lead” on his positives?
He’s focused on who he loves. And cheap labor in Asia.
Neiher are stupid but both are very greedy.
Dont need to be so touchy about it
Hope he wins
Hope he wins
Hope he wins
Hope he wins
No offense to present company, but I’m sick of the left coast BS, and...
Hope he wins
Hope he wins
Hope he wins
Hope he wins!
Because he appeals to people outside the normal Conservative base. He's drawing in Reagan Democrats, etc....people who are FED UP with the present leadership, left and right.
Elites? Who are these elites?

Came up with a new tagline.
One more reason to wake up and realize that your enemies don’t like Trump.
And yet, you have somehow convinced yourself, he is one of them.
Wake up folks.
Rush was just saying it’s off the coast of Georgia. So, I
assume that’s not the Georgia in Russia. - Sounds like
these bigwigs wasted a ton of jet fuel on this trip. -
Far as I go, they also wasted their breath. I voted Cruz in
our state primary. HOWEVER, given the GOPe behavior &
Romney’s shiv stuck in Trump’s back; if TRUMP earns the
nomination, I will walk barefoot over rough gravel to get
to the polls & cast my vote for TRUMP.
In my opinion, for what it’s worth, I have to wonder if
Mitt Romney is all there. (He sure as heck ain’t getting
another one of Twinkie’s valuable votes! Mitt would be the
assurance of election card for Hillary Clinton. The GOPe
seems bent on hari-kari for the Republican Party.
The meeting was not intended to be secret. It is intended to send a message to the peasants that the lords are not happy and will punish us. Voter intimidation is the goal.
