A Watergate-type 'Deep Throat' has come forward to claim that despite all the talk of a contested Republican Convention, the GOP nominee will be former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a deal, said the shadowy source who has direct knowledge of the situation, was sealed months ago by the Republican National Committee (RNC).
"All this hoopla about Trump splitting the Party if he doesn't get the nomination – even if he gets only a majority of the needed delegates – is hogwash," insisted the well-placed source who claims direct knowledge of talks held between Romney and GOP executives.

"Romney is in this race up to his pearly whites," says David Leone, a Dallas-based political analyst. "His plan was to sit out the drudgery and tumult of the primary season and wait until the early delegate dust settled. Then he’d come out swinging, first as a GOP lackey who was worried about the direction of the Party, and finally as the man in the White Hat to save the Party from itself at the Convention."
Deep Throat 2016 confirmed Leone’s scenario.
"The fix is in. Even if the Trump acolytes don't like the script and threaten to walk, the RNC knows the 'new' Republicans brought in by Trump aren't really Republicans in ideology," said DT '16. "Mitt is all that matters at this point."

People gonna stay home in droves if this happens.
Mitt “Tom Dewey” Romney!!
Fantastic, lets go with the guy who ran for public office about 10 times and only won 1 single term as governor...couldn’t even close the deal on a second term as governor.
We have a designated loser rule for the GOP now?
BULL CRAP!! More anonymous / John Doe FUD...and NOTHING MORE.
Not going to happen; Trump/Ryan is much more acceptable than Romney/Ryan.
It’ll be a repeat or worse.
I’m out.
originally, the fix was in for Jeb Bush. How did that work out? Now, Romney?!?
Newsflash, RNC, Romney would get FEWER votes this time than last time. We are that pissed.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They are itching to create a new phenomenon
Kamikaze Voter
Every Democrat in every election for every office until there is no GOP
GOP-RIP
I don’t believe it. It’s unlikely. I think deep throat is playing games.
Romney is kaput.
If it’s anyone but Trump or Curz I’ll not vote or vote Libertarian and leave the GOP and register independent.
You better believe it!
They may as well run Dede Scozzafava.
And Ted Cruz is complicit.
All this is specualtion until the Rules Committee meets the week before the convention and
sets the rules for the 2016 convention and which the convention has to adopt after
convening. Remember Rule 40 from 2012 which prohibited such a thing? If it stays in
for 2016 then Romney is out.
If this happens the ballot box is kaput. That leaves just one more box to work with.
