We are perilously close to a third party here. Romney better tread carefully. There has never been any sort of love or commitment to Romney. He was the default option because there were no others four years ago. Had Christie or Rubio or some of the first term office holders have gone for it, they could have easily won. Romney’s opposition was filled with talented but non-competitive options.

Actually it is a foregone conclusion a liberal will get elected ... either the witch or the Donald.

So why not try to overthrow that if you are a conservative? If Donald has a hissy fit and runs third party, oh well

No, Trump will now win in larger numbers. We are watching the suicide of the GOPe. It will be a slaughter.

The dumbest part of all this is that Trump would have worked with them. If you actually listen to what his positions are he is even more liberal than them. Now Trump will only get there on the coattails of anger against the GOPe. He betrays the base after all this and I would not want to be him, just like I would not want to be the GOPe today.

The 2012 GOP nominee’s advisers are examining what a fight at the convention might look like and what rules might need revising.

So they are stating they will revises the rules NOW?!?!?!

Ironic when we think back to early in this political season when the RNC all but required Trump to sign a pledge to remain loyal to the Republican Party. Now that he is winning the Republican Party is not so loyal to him.

Have they forgotten 1912? Teddy had enough support at the Conventions that when the bosses blocked him that he was able to split the party and give the election to Wilson. I hope that push come to shove that some of the other candidates will threaten to to thrown their support to Trump if the party leaders refuse to accept the outcomes of popular elections.

If the elite pull a stunt like trying to steal the nomination, I can't imagine how that plays out. The anger won't be just in the convention hall, it will spread out to the hotels, restaurants, bars, and streets.

At this point, the anger is so intense that any pol or other elitist who doesn't distance himself from Romney's disgusting talking-down of voters making our own decisions is the problem.

Should we be surprised? No. This is Romney, who refused to lower himself to campaigning for the votes of 47% of US citizens. He's criticizing Trump, who has put on free rallies where everyone is welcome!

We need to think about that, and get angrier still!

ROMNEY REPRESENTS JUST ABOUT EVERY ATTITUDE THAT HAS DESTROYED THE US !!!

Except among his base - the Mormons.
