Mitt Romney suspends his campaign… To find a third party anti-Trump candidate
Canada Free Press ^ | 05/19/16 | Robert Laurie

#NeverTrump withers.

If #NeverTrump was on a stretcher, its doctor would be saying “call it” and looking up at the clock right about now. When Cruz left the race it seemed like the movement might have legs, but whatever life it once held has been steadily bleeding out ever since. As Trump gets stronger (and polls better) the odds that #NeverTrumpers could achieve their goals have all but collapsed.

Now, one of #NeverTrump’s top dogs is wandering away from the effort. Mitt Romney - a man who knows a thing or two about suspending campaigns - has decided it’s time to abandon his search for an independent third-party conservative.

It sure seemed like a lame idea when he started. Romney is less intellgent than he seemed a few years ago.

So bumbling and inept, he even fails at basic treachery.

Poor Mittens wouldn't even last five minutes on Game of Thrones. ;)

Worth a couple of bursts of LOLs.

He will be forming a new party called the “Loser Party”.

He will then appoint himself kingmaker and actively work to retroactively stop Ronald Reagan’s 1980 campaign.

There was something about Bain&Co being exposed in the Puerto Rico debt situation. Congress just passed a PR bailout bill. Maybe this all this third party stuff was pressure to get a political favor.

Where’s that pic of Romney in his bath robe on the couch with a whiskey bottle?

I liked Romney. Now he can suck it. Not because I’m all enthralled with Trump but because he’s shown himself a puppet of the global political-economic elitists that could give a damn what the people want.

Great, now he has three losses in a row. Lost this one before he got started.

That works, but Road Runner has too much of that fake innocence thing going on, almost as bad as Tweety Bird.

I’m thinking of Trump as more a Woody Woodpecker type. Heckle and Jeckle come to mind as well. He clever, he traps his opponent, and he knows and revels in it.

Can’t take the heat, I guess.
