Washington Post ^ | November 12, 2015

Less than three months before the kick-off Iowa caucuses, there is growing anxiety bordering on panic among Republican elites about the dominance and durability of Donald Trump and Ben Carson and widespread bewilderment over how to defeat them.

Party leaders and donors fear nominating either man would have negative ramifications for the GOP ticket up and down the ballot, virtually ensuring a Hillary Rodham Clinton presidency and increasing the odds that the Senate falls into Democratic hands.

I guess this move to draft Romney leaves Jeb standing by the side of the road wondering what just happened.

Get back to me when they express true (or any) remorse for repeatedly stabbing us in the back. They are Hillary.

Yes, nominating “moderates” is the only way to win the White House. Just ask President Dole, President McCain and President Romney.

 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn't make any sense at all.""

An even bigger fear is that a Trump nomination could result in a Trump presidency, thus flipping over the board for the entire money/influence game. A Hillary presidency would just shift the 55/45 money split to 45/55, but the game will go on.

I was on a debate team practice that was going badly and I saunter up to the podium as the next victim. One of the faculty says “oh this a-hole thinks he’s going to straighten things out”.

Comes to mind in connection with the idea that Romney can just walk in late and everyone will say “oh yeah I’ve got to have me some of that”

Can you spell “disaster”?

Romney, the guy who lost to the guy that Obama beat.

Romney, the guy who Obama also beat.

Yeah, right. Just who the GOPe needs — to ensure the Dem wins — again.
