Former Romney Adviser on Trump Alternative: ‘Until Donald Trump Has the Nomination…All Things Are Possible’

By NOAH FITZGEREL

There remain deep rumblings inside the establishment of the Republican Party about presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. This week’s episode of ABC’s "Powerhouse Politics" podcast paints a picture in which the Republican National Committee may focus its efforts on down-ticket races to hedge the risk of losing the White House in November to presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, leaving a Trump operation with little infrastructure of its own scrambling to catch up.

Noting the frustration that has endured in several Republican circles with the party’s presumptive nominee, Stuart Stevens, a former adviser to Mitt Romney and an outspoken member of the Never Trump movement, said that there is "still a possibility that the convention could go in a different direction." Stevens noted, "Until Donald Trump has the nomination, one thing we've learned with Donald Trump is that all things are possible."

Stevens said that this sort of political frustration exists in the Democratic Party as well. "There's clearly a desire for an alternative in both parties," Stevens said while referring to recent poll numbers. Speaking of a possible third-party alternative to Donald Trump, Stevens said, "I think choice is good...If someone’s there and he’s credible, or she’s credible...“I think that would be positive.”

Stuart Stevens. The man behind the “Missississippi Strategy” to shoehorn good ol’ Thad Cochran in. The man who ruined Ted Cruz* by instructing him to go negative against Trump (the strategy came out the night before the CNN debate where he and Marco did their tag-team number that marked the beginning of their twin demises).

* - of course, Ted Cruz went along readily enough, and he never got the programming out of his circuits. Marco did for a brief while.

Well Stuart Stevens me lad, you can take your puny genitalia, insert it into your rectal orifice, and commence to commit fornication with yourself, and tell Bishop Romney that his golden underwear is full of fecal matter just like he is.

Well said!

Mitt Romney on Donald Trump ALL the way back in February 2012

"Trump endorses Romney and he repays him by backstabbing......And this trash tried to make a run for the Oval office....Good thing nobody wanted irrelevant Romney!!"

I used to have a lot of respect for Romney, even as a RINO. I thought he was a decent man.

But his backstabbing of Trump is reprehensible.

It’s why Trump forgave his campaign loan the other day. He can self-fund. Go ahead, make my day.
________

I fully understand the sentiment, but PLEASE, my friend, do not expect Trump to self-fund a general election campaign. He will need our money. We must step up to the plate and donate directly to the campaign. It will take money to beat these rats, and the usual big donors are AWOL because America-first policies an anathema to them.

Trump should not be expected to run a campaign to save this country without our skin in the game. PLEASE everybody, donate as much and as often as you can. Don’t sit back with the attitude “Trump is rich, he’ll do it for us,” Here is the link for secure donations directly to the campaign. None goes to GOP.

Romney clearly doesn’t comprehend his own irrelevance.

If these former candidates and/or anybody from the RNC is involved is trying to steal the election from Trump, this group of sour grape people will forever be dispatched from the RNC; or maybe there will be enough normal-minded people who tell the RNC to take a hike - permanently.

Maybe I’m dreaming .. but never forget that Americans today are totally fed up with all these elites.

"Stevens noted, "Until Donald Trump has the nomination, one thing we've learned with Donald Trump is that all things are possible."

He is like the head Cholo in this video... And we are Bruce Almighty granting his wish, I swear when I think these dudes couldn't become bigger douche bags they become the Dukes of Douchebaggery...

They just announced the rules committee panel and as I predicted its stacked with Trump supporters. Too bad so sad to the Cruzers.
