Rush failed to get across one of the biggest points in this whole debate. That is that the GOPe can't afford to NOT support either Trump or Cruz and they can't go third party. The reason being is the GOP can't let the democrats win because the Scalia vacancy absolutely needs to be filled by a conservative. There is no hope for this country if a liberal is appointed to the SCOTUS.

The establishment democrat/republican oligarchy does not care if a leftist judge gets nominated to SCOTUS. That will just mean the status quo, and a leftist SCOTUS will govern from the bench.

[MasterGunner01]

The GOPe elite Establishment RINOs don't care who fills Justice Scalia’s place on SCOTUS. These clowns are all about status quo and their power and money. They are a cabal of RINOs, Donkeys, consultants, big money donors, K Street lawyers, and other cronies. They don't give a damn whether the United States is a free country or a police state as long as they have theirs and the people get the shaft and left overs. They are selfish and crude and cannot be trusted as far as you could throw the Queen Mary's anchor.

“the GOP can’t let the democrats win because the Scalia vacancy absolutely needs to be filled by a conservative. There is no hope for this country if a liberal is appointed to the SCOTUS.”

Romney’s get-Trump speech has finally laid naked for all to see that the Democrat party aren’t the REAL enemy of the people, instead the REAL enemy is the GOPe, the fake opposition party to the Democrats. The Democrats no longer pretend to be what they are not: they now overtly campaign as the party of national socialism, period. The Democrats have also repeatedly demonstrated that they are willing to sacrifice their individual members to advance their socialist agenda, e.g., Obamacare cost them the House and the Senate. The GOPe is willing to sacrifice nothing.

The GOPe is interested in nothing but keeping their own gravy trains chugging along. And thus with Romney’s get-Trump speech, we all have proof positive of what we’ve known all along: the GOPe is nothing but the minority partner of the Uniparty, but that’s quite good enough thank you very much, just so long as their gravy trains keep pulling into the hog trough station, loaded with all of those free shrimp cocktails and caviar at the posh gala D.C. soirées, free jet trips around the world, free five star hotel living, free five star restaurant dining, and free skybox seats at the major league sporting events, all paid for by we peasants and lobbyists.

As Breitbart.com said last week, Romney is the hill that the GOPe chose to die on. Either this speech:

1.) helps Trump because the GOPe’s out-of-touch attack on the GOP’s leading candidate supported by the largest number of rank-and-file voters is simply more gasoline dumped on nearly 20 years of already red-hot anger, thus further propelling Trump towards being the GOP nominee, in which case the entire GOPe lobbyist, special interests, consultant class complex dies;

or 2.) this last-gasp GOPe attack hurts Trump, leading to a brokered convention with some loser the rank-and-file voters hate, leading to a Hillary victory and the loss of the Senate and House as the rank-and-file GOP voters finally say enough is enough and stay home, culminating in the final, permanent, destruction of the U.S. Constitution when Hillary appoints Barrack Hussien Obama as Antonin Scalia’s replacement.

This lose-lose position taken by the GOP aristocracy is typical behavior by the Stupid Party, unlike Trump’s positions where he wins with nearly any outcome, as explained by “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams:

I think they would absolutely LOVE the court to go mega-liberal.

Talk about campaign fundraising fodder for decades. They would have the ultimate scare tactic and selling point for all Republican candidates: “We’re the only ones who can save you from these black robed devils!”
