It’s Trump turf yes. But When Cochran looked like he was a gonner, the openly pulled the race card and bought enough Dems to win. Literally bought. The presidential race is a must win for them. Because if they don’t, then lots of people are in serious legal trouble under a non-bought Justice Dept.
Every couple weeks or so, a trial balloon goes up with Romney’s name on it. In the last one he dominated NH. Whether thats unicorn polling or truth, the public/voters read and bought it. Those polls happen for a reason. There have been semi-frequent articles with ‘supposed’ donors pining for Romney. Which is just more trial ballooning.
Romney himself in typical style has played both sides of the issue denying and hinting at running.
Ultimately when Trump and Cruz prove insurmountable in the GOP public, the GOP has to look elsewhere. They are already doing articles that Hillary is better than Ted or Don. This too is trial ballooning because they know one of them is going to landslide this.
Now since we all saw Jeb give Hillary a medal to much GOP applause, Since Gowdy protected her unashamedly with his Bhenghazi actions and since the media cannot go 5 min without end of the world articles about the end of life in this galaxy under T/D, it’s all leading one place logically.
Since they proved they will risk whatever they have to to exclude a conservative from office, and since they have telegraphed their liberalism on every cave in for 2 years running, I do not believe that they will do whats needed. They make the rules so they need not break them.
For every state level pol that walks when they do, there is a fellow traveler willing to assist them on election day. It is standard communist dogma. The CPUSA used it to co-opt the DNC decades ago. So I think the evidence is there for a merger and for Romney. And for the GOP caring not a whit at the fallout as they have the numbers with that merger to keep liberals in power and themselves out of jail.
To clarify...
For every state level pol that walks when they the GOP do, away from Trump/Cruz
