I think Romney did not need to create a public spectacle.
I think he could have and should have gone to Trump and made his case in private and tried to work it out.
Trump endorsed him four years ago and said he was honored to do so.
Romney accepted that endorsement and said glowing things about it.
Both men could settle this.
If Romney was really this concerned...if he felt it was THIS bad, then:
1) His acceptance of the Trump’s endorsement was a sham.
2) He would have gotten in the race to stop it.
3) He would have spoken out far sooner.
He did not do any of those things.
Any reasonable person can and should ask why.
Trump has been successful. Trump has spoken up and out about numerous things that need to be on the table.
Trump is profane...he is crass...but he is also taking the bull by the horns himself precisely because the establishment types have not been addressing the real problems.
In the end...if Trump brings the number of people to the table with his message and his written and documented plans...and if in doing that he wins as big as he is...then he is the person the people are choosing.
I am happy to let that process unfold.
It’s almost as though Mitt got lassoed into being a mercenary for the GOPe.
Whatever Donald Trump is... Donald Trump isn’t a GOPe mercenary. Or a Democrat mercenary.
