Read a bit further. There are some fears that it will indeed be Romney.
Can you imagine if that happens? It will be cast in stone that Romney is a traitor who DELIBERATELY threw the election to Obama. It will make it much, much easier to attract Sanders supporters and Independents, knowing that Trump has purged the party of the pure evil which had taken it over....until now. It will turn "Mormon" and "Illuminati" into synonyms.
Maybe Mitt should go for it!!

Which would make sense given the name floating around of “Latter-Day Republicans” which brings to mind (to those familiar with the Mormons) the idea of a “restoration” of ‘conservatism’, the ‘one true party’, and the Mormon White Horse Prophecy (which Mitt thinks he is the fulfillment of) that a Mormon priesthood holder would come in and ‘save the Constitution when it is hanging by a thread’.
That would be a really bad joke. Romney sucked last time, and this time he’d be worse.
Kristol want to block Trump from getting an electoral college majority and then win in the House of R. Romney could win Utah and Idaho with the Mormon vote already. Probably a few Plains states too.
It’s a flat out dangerous idea, as we would then have an illegitimate president viewed from both the right and left.
Gosh. Not Romney. Anyone but him. Would his running mate be John McCain? Noooooooo!/s
