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 hed 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 Leones 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."

Note to GOPe:
If Trump goes to Cleveland over the 1,237 mark and you install Romney as the candidate, the following will take place.
1. Trump will accept the nomination of another party that already has 50 state ballot access.
2. Trump will win the general election.
3. Trump voters will vote against each and every single down ticket Republican, and you will become the Whigs.
4. The newly empowered party that chooses Trump will overtake the GOP in congressional seats.
5. You (GOP) will lose all of your power and perks. Many of you will be investigated.
We dare you.
The eventual nominee will be selected by delegates, most of whom are pretty opinionated people who will do what they want. The RNC does not have the ability to force them to vote for a particular nominee, and certainly couldn't have done that months ago before most of them were even selected.
I don't doubt that some in the RNC would prefer Romney -- they just don't have the ability to make him the nominee.
Oh, goody. Let’s roll out a proven loser.
I will vote for Hillary if this happens. Not only that, I will NEVER AGAIN vote for a GOP candidate. This is a promise.
HILLARY WINS
Hey, don’t sully the good reputation of that fine Munster family with that comparison!
People gonna' stay home in droves if that happens.
The establishment Republican Party is OVER. The insiders probably know it. They're maximizing how much wealth they can suck out of the US before they have to retreat to their guarded enclaves.
Assuming Trump will be the next President, the US might be able to achieve an orderly transition without the elite backstabbers of both political parties.
Otherwise, there's concern for the future. Throughout history, people have not been real easy to control when they no longer think they have a say in their futures.
More Millard Filmore, the final presidential candidate of the dying Whig Party. Millard and Willard, killing their parties.
Perhaps that is past due.
Bang!
First Turd in the punchbowl!
Deep Throat? Must be a Clinton connection somewhere.....
+infinity
That’s Karl Rove’s fresh face?
LOLOLOOL!
This man has no humility does he? Hillary (or even Bernie) will whup this stiff
Drop dead, Williard the Rat.
I will write in Trump.
Articles like this are some sort of trial ballon by the GOPe. And yes, the GOPe is *that* clueless to even attempt to float a titanic failure like Romney 2.0.
At this point why anybody would want this loser is beyond me.
All this tells me is that the fix is in for Hillary.
Nope, he's still in. The problem is that Rule 40 only has teeth on the first ballot.
Because after the first ballot, the delegates can vote as they wish. If a majority in 8 or more states switch to Romney, then he CAN be nominated under Rule 40.
At least that's the way I see it.
Same. I will never vote for the GOP again.
This is just BS on the internet.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
If you want to know how bad it would be, try listening to this for 10 hours......
Hillary Clinton Laughing for 10 hours
10 hours seems like a long time doesn't it. Now try to imagine what it's going to be like listening to this for
