Please, someone, make it stop.
A few days ago, I argued that Romney would be instrumental in the GOP establishment’s efforts to steer the electorate toward a brokered convention. Then we heard a crazy rumor that, if no GOP candidate was capable of stopping Trump, Mitt might enter the race himself. Now, Romney is set to make a speech about ...something pertaining to the 2016 race.
As Reuters reports:
Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will make a “major speech” on the 2016 White House race on Thursday, Fox News reported on Wednesday.
He will endorse Rubio. Kiss of death IMO
Losers aren’t Winners
Is this the same as “The Major Award” the father in “A Christmas Story” won????
Remember when Romney stood up to Obama and the MSM?
Neither do I.
Lindsey Graham is a looser! Mitt Romney is a loser!
Ohhhh. A Romney speech. I’m so exciteZZZZZZZZZZZZz
Romney is going to be pushing his new book “The Art Of The Choke”.
“How to lose an winnable election 101”.
R0mney didn't run against 0bama. He had one slimy attack after another against his opponents in the primary, then bent over for 0bama.
There will no doubt be many GOPE operatives in the audience shrieking and applauding.
The plan is out in the open for anyone to see.
1) Ensure Trump doesn’t haven enough delegates to claim nomination
2) Have a brokered convention
3) Nominate...Mitt Romney
Read #3 again Cruz and Rubio supporters. You are working to nominate Mitt Romney.
The fix is already in. They are so arrogant they are openly talking about it. Romney will be the nominee if there is a brokered convention.
Let the answer be swift and clear.
Let Romney tee it up then Whack-A-Mole
I hope he does. Even Murdoch dropped Rubio yesterday.
Remember THIS if you happen to catch Mitt’s speech tomorrow:

Romney can go piss up a rope. Who wants to listen to this 2x loser?
Death of the party? Well, if the GOPe pulls a funny move (eg a brokered convention where Romney or Rubio ends up as the nominee), the Trump side will DEFINITELY not vote, and the Cruz side may also not participate. By the way, the Cruz side should not have any illusions that the GOPe would support Cruz - the party elite look at Cruz with hatred and disdain, it's just that Trump is their main focus for now.
If the Trump side wins the nomination, the GOPe will definitely continue attacking him rather than coming around him, with one even stating that they would support Hillary. The Cruz group would probably NOT attack Trump if Trump became the nominee, but a number of them might sit the election out. Question remains how many.
If Cruz wins the nomination then you'd see the GOPe not necessarily attack him the way they'd keep attacking Trump, but the GOPe would still not be supportive. Remember Cruz is not loved by them. As for Trump supporters, a number of them may sit out the election, with the question being how many.
Result - a party schism. As the three main groups continue to attack (nay, assault) each other, the bad blood continues to come closer to a boil. The party will basically become a lose connection 'coalition' that is similar to something from Europe, where there are coalitions rather than mega-parties.
The death of the GOP. Not GOPe, GOP.
