I googled William Weld after you mentioned that Mitt was a Weldite. Yes, I’d say - elitist snobs.

This is one of the best articles on Weld (albeit it is 10 years old, and badly needs an update on his escapades since), in case you hadn’t seen it. This is what happens with the types of people that merely use the party as a vehicle and don’t particularly care about anyone else (in Weld’s case, he screwed anything and everything with an “R” attached, liberals and Conservatives alike). Romney (and Huckster) both followed the model and they left everything in ruins. It’s bone-chilling to realize what they could do from a national perspective.
