In a tastefully furnished conference room somewhere in the nations capital, leaders of the GOP establishment are popping antacids and shaking their heads. Donald Trump is the face of their party now and theres no stopping him.
In the latest CNN poll, his lead has grown, due to increased support among two groups they assumed would grow to hate him: Republican women and college graduates. Every candidate challenging The Donald has seen his numbers drop. Ben Carson may be next over his rather dubious decision to attack Trump on illegal immigration the issue that propelled Trump to first place in the first place.
If only there were someone out there who could appeal to establishment voters, but also engender support from the rank and file. An outsider who has never worked in Washington. Someone with some high energy, without the need for caffeine.
Bet they all wish theyd been a little nicer to Mitt Romney now.
When the former Republican nominee first mused about entering the 2016 race, way back in January, he received a harsher welcome than the Apple Pencil. Nasty editorials. Anonymous quotes. Condemnation from pundits who used to champion him. Dismissive comments from donors.
Now these same Romney bashers would be the first to climb to the top of the tallest building on K Street and light up the Bat Signal for him. Or to use another analogy, Obi-Wan Ke-Romney, youre their only hope.

Just like McCain saved us from Obi.
You know, the boogeyman they send to kill the boogeyman?
A fracking Bushie GOPe.
Burn in hell, Matt.
They still hate Romney for being a loser but they hate Trump more and need to stop him now.
“Now these same Romney bashers would be the first to climb to the top of the tallest building on K Street and light up the Bat Signal for him. Or to use another analogy, Obi-Wan Ke-Romney, youre their only hope.”
Maybe theres more to this in the remainder of the article?
Bashers now looking for rescue?? well ..That seems a bit strange
Oh please. Can’t the GOPe quit dredging the bottom of the pond? They already tried McLame, Senior Yeb, and others including Romnutts twice.
Getting desperate and scared, aren’t they.
Go Trump. You are disrupting the good old boy’s political machines.
Be safe. Godspeed.
No. He can save us from winning though.
Hey Matt, that for sure isn't Romney. He had his chance and blew it.

Bob Dole would stand a better chance than Romney. Dole was wounded in WWII and didn’t invent RomneyCare/ObamaCare.
James Wilson was the Founder who reasoned that every citizen should have a hand in the selection of the president.
The selection was not designed for an elite group.
The Republican establishment consultants and kingmakers all full of $#!+.
Why not just do a weekend at Bernie’s with Dole? How many of these Loser Retreads are they going to attempt to trot out?
Reading just the excerpt, I’m wondering if he’s not poking fun at the small, small group who now think Mitt is the anti-Trump potion.
Romney? I better find my barf bag.
You know, I seem to remember someone saying Mitt wasnt over. I remember hearing someone say that the media would push him when the others failed.
I remember the romneybots defending their votes and telling that person he was nuts and it was in the past and to let it go. They railed him pretty good. Called him everything but a white man. One even said people like that should be shot on an FR thread.
And yet here we are. That guy sure is right alot. Wish I could remember who it was...
Romney = left-wing TRUMP......
Trump. = right wing Romney.....
To those that do not know the difference...
Answer there isn’t any..
I don't see a farthing's worth of difference between Nazi apparatchiks, and GOPe apparatchiks...
See Rick Wilson's comment about Annie Coulter.
