Romney is a weird duck. He makes no sense but I think he wanted Cruz along with most of his church. Utah did nothing for Trump with no delegates so goes the church so goes Romney.

Trump for President.

Romney's supposed reasons for opposing Trump make no sense. The only reason that makes sense is Romney wants Hillary Clinton to win.

Ding ding ding. We have a winnah!

He should’ve easily beat Bambi when he ran against him and he didn’t, so the loser should shut up and go away.

Romney is projecting. Also Romney has sour grapes.

Romney’s has decided to try to thwart the normal Republican presidential primary process and, if he does not quit soon, he will no longer be a Republican.

Simply follow the money that Romney stands to lose.

Trump is a Doer, Producer.
Romney is a Moneychanger.

Tax law may change to favor people, not Romney.

Everything you do has shown that you are a stooge for the Democrats, whether you are aware of it or not.

I think it’s mostly that professional Republicans aren’t very conservative and pretty much just read the script in order to get votes. It’s business as usual, and business is pretty good.

Trump represents a real break from that mindset. A Trump victory means that the usual professional conservatives aren’t on speed dial and the channels of access will either be closed or far more limited than they are used to.

On the night Jeb threw in the towel, Dana Perino was almost in tears. That’s a pretty big emotional investment. I suppose people like her like the access and the chance at another eight year run in DC.

That’s a good example of the dynamic at work. A lot of nominal conservatives see the ascendancy of Trump as the slow motion destruction of their meal ticket. For me, that’s a good thing. For the typical GOP hack who needs to put three kids through college it’s alarming.

Romney has no money problems. But guys like him are being marginalized. Again, I see it as a good thing. Professional conservatives likely see it as a severe undermining of the status quo they have relied on for years.
