2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney will be delivering a major speech Thursday denouncing Donald Trump.
FORMER RNC CHAIRMAN MICHAEL STEELE: I don't know why they think this is going to work in the first place. I don't know who they think this is going to influence.Keep in mind, Mitt Romney lost 3 million Republicans, who didn't even bother to show up and vote for him because they did not support his campaign.

Romney’s speech is coordinated with Fox News Moderators for tonight’s debate.
If nothing else, they will say again and again and again that ROMNEY doesn’t support you.
As you recall, Romney himself stood by as the Mormon church rejected Blacks for decades.
Who do you suppose the “General Sherman” is behind the GOPe scorched earth campaign?
Gotta ask yourself what’s in it for Mittens? Is he getting some of that GOP PAC money or some sweet deal? He’s prolly done with politics for life but why not exit with a big severance package from his paymasters.
Is it that or is the point that the tap might get shut off instead?
You are 100% correct. Donald J. Trump will destroy today what little creditability Mitt Romney has left!!! And......Trump will shoot up another 5-10% in polls across the country!!! Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, if they do not jump all over over Mitt Romney, and the GOP (E), will sink in the polls like a heavy anchor thrown in deep ocean water!!! What idiots!!! GO Donald J. Trump!!!
this is Romney’s gift to Trump.
I hate to say it but Steele has been saying all the right things lately. He’s headed for a spot in the Trump Admin, IMO.
“Who do you suppose the “General Sherman” is behind the GOPe scorched earth campaign?”
I’d guess Mo or Curley, but they’re dead, so it may be that military genius, McCain.
I suppose Bob Dole is in too poor of health for the GOP to drag him out and have the full roster of Presidential losers line up against Trump?
Now that would be a powerful endorsement.
I think Trump's going to have to buy some ad time to launch a counter attack. He'll get plenty of free media, but he needs time to completely say what he wants. I hope he pounds Romney into dust.
The Republican Elite cannot understand the Trump Phenomenon.
They have betrayed their base support time after time and prepare to do it again by ignoring its overwhelming support for Trump.
Their betrayal is plenty of reason to fill the American people with utter contempt for them, but their bad judgment and inability to comprehend what's going on is sufficient reason for any honest person to ignore them. In fact, the stupidity of the Republican Establishment is downright scary.
“I think the Fairfax GOP ‘squad’ pretty much has used up every silver bullet in their possession. No one believes the national GOP message anymore...the pretenders sitting in the Senate need to start planning a second career....and the lobbyists hunting for their next ‘deal’ with the GOP had best find a new career.
As for Romney’s speech....I don’t understand what exactly it was intended to do or speak to. He evidently is lost on how the public feels and how frustrated folks have become with all the fake GOP gimmicks”
They are not done yet...never underestimate the evil..evil will do. And these poor individuals have succumbed to evil.
I can’t imagine who it will influence either? Mitt Romney?
Still that facet led by Rooney and Beck that is anti-Trump
Plus their timing is just so stupid. Whatever Romney says today, it’s going to be wiped out in the news by whatever’s said tonight at the debate.
Dumbass GOP-e’s don’t even know how to fight dirty right.
At a brokered convention he gets to ride in on a white horse and 'accept' the nomination.
The GOP is suicidal if they think they can get away with something like this.
I think even the GOPe is beginning to fracture. Some of them truly do want to die on this hill. Others don’t wish to hit the self-destruct button on the party which has been their gravy train. Look for some endorsements of Trump forthcoming from astonishing places.
Who is it going to influence? All the people who still believe in Mitt Romney. All three of them.
Ohhhh. A Romney speech. I’m so exciteZZZZZZZZZZZZz
They only wanted the GOPe equivalent of the Democrat liberal plantation in that tent. No toothless, gun loving, working class white men allowed. As Trump has proven in the faces of the Cabana Twins, those new voters can't be controlled by the scotch swilling country club types.
