The above Drudge Report headline was in bright red caps Thursday night and linked to a WaPo article reporting GOP power-brokers were in a blind panic over Trump and Carson, to the point where they want to draft Romney.
"According to other Republicans, some in the party establishment are so desperate to change the dynamic that they are talking anew about drafting Romney — despite his insistence that he will not run again."
Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. Maybe the WaPo is just pushing this narrative in an attempt to assert their influence. But if the so-called "elite" is worried, then good. They haven't paid serious attention for years, I would love to see a good shake out and get a more responsive and responsible "elite". Both Trump and Carson have been surprisingly disruptive forces...just what the GOP needed to wake up.
Uh, no. I have no doubt that they want Trump out of the race, for obvious reasons, but there are a few candidates that they could easily prop up if they were that concerned.

This quote from the Post article is very illuminating.
“We’re potentially careening down this road of nominating somebody who frankly isn’t fit to be president in terms of the basic ability and temperament to do the job,” this strategist said. “It’s not just that it could be somebody Hillary could destroy electorally, but what if Hillary hits a banana peel and this person becomes president?”
That is very clear. They are terrified that Trump or Carson could get the nomination and then the Presidency because Hillary falls victim to "something."
If it hasn't come in clear enough, understand this. They would much rather have Hillary as President than either Trump or Carson, and are seriously afraid that one of those two could actually be sworn in as President in a worst case scenario.
GOP insiders pulling for Hillary over Trump or Carson. Priceless!
I'm glad the RNC is feeling the heat! If they're crazy enough to push for Romney or any other RINO, I'm not voting and I'm staying home. And millions of other irate conservatives will as well. They are so out of touch with reality.
