Is Mitt on a Suicide Mission?
townhall.com ^ | Pat Buchanan

Posted on 05/17/2016 4:07:31 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Among others sounded out for the mission are ex-Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, retired Marine Corps General James Mattis, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and Mark Cuban of the Dallas Mavericks. All have begged off.

Apparently, Romney, the Republican Party's 2012 nominee, personally sounded out both Sasse and Gov. John Kasich, who will be hosting the Cleveland Convention where the coronation of the Donald is to be held.

How Kasich could expect to beat Trump in November, when he lost every state primary to Trump, save his own, is unexplained. And, indeed, Romney's recruitment of Kasich raises a question.

If Romney believes that Trump is an unacceptable nominee and would be an intolerable president, and that Republicans have a moral obligation to prevent this, why does Romney not man up and take on the assignment himself?

Now, admittedly, Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, where Romney attended, does not have a long tradition of producing suicide bombers. Yet, Romney is asking others to undertake a mission that will kill their careers and make them pariahs in their party, but will not do it himself.

“Is Mitt on a suicide mission?”

No. He’s already dead.

Mitt is suffering Delusions of Grandeur brought on by his self immolating humiliating loss to Obama. One might say this gambit of Mitt is the equivalent of Al Gore's "Manbearpig."

If Mitt Romney is the answer, it must be a really boring question.

I place Mitt on a scale somewhat below Obama, who I place below Hillary, who I place below Bernie, who I despise.

The Cheap Labor Express must block the citizens from electing Trump for its own survival.
Romney is doing whatever he can to elect Hillary.

If he had put 1/10 th the effort into defeating Obama he would be President. I guess he never wanted that he seems to prefer Dems as President as he works feverishly for Hillary.

Romney’s problem is that he’s been visited by the Green-Eyed Monster, and is INSANELY jealous of Trump, his successes, and his money. Once Trump said that just one of his businesses was worth more than Romney’s total worth, and I figure Mitt didn’t take that very well. Too bad. So sad.

I think that has a lot to do with why Rush hates him so much, too.

Exactly, Romney is jealous.

Trump said his Gucci store in Trump Tower is worth more than Romney (he rents the 4 story, 45,000 sf store to Gucci).

Was it not Mittens who came crawling to Trump seeking money in 2012?

If Mitt Romney succeeds in defeating Donald Trump he will have succeeded in electing Hillary Clinton to the presidency. I think there’s a word for that but I want to keep my account here.

Romney had the same job at Bain Cap that Geo W. had for Reynolds DeWitt: front man for investo-scammers.

Trump actually makes things. Romney and Bush, were what in days gone by were referred to as “suede shoe artists.”

Yes. Romney crawled to Trump. McCain crawled to Trump. Cruz crawled to Trump. And God knows who else.

“I place Mitt on a scale somewhat below Obama,. . “

True, which is why he stood down in 2012,

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12

They both server the same master, Satan
