Romney, the RNC establishment, Speaker Ryan, various republican politicians, and super pacs funded by the elites, have tried in every way to stop Trump's nomination because they view Trump as a threat to their unbridled power and wealth. Trump is unpredictable to the elite who have run this country for their own benefit, making many of these politicians multi-millionaires while in office, to the detriment of the people for decades.
By the way, Bernie is also a threat for the same reason to the elites. Even with limited funds and the DNC leadership solidly against him, he has made an amazing connection with voters and performed in the elections well ahead of anyone's prediction.
Nailed it!
Trump is succeeding (wildly) where Romney failed (wildly). He's a jealous little twit acting up and throwing a tantrum.
I'm a life-long Republican.I despise Mitt. For the first time, I did not vote in 2012. It's is amusing, and at the same time embarrassing, to watch Mitt throw his little hissy fit.
Romney isn’t much different than Rubio or Kasich or anyone else. And none of them seem likely to vanquish Trump, either.
I understand the GOP doesn't want Trump, but GOP only has itself to blame. Underestimate Trump at the very beginning, and now it is too late. The party is no longer a party of the conservative principles. They got rid of Ron Paul, Rand Paul, all they seem to care about now is abortion and religion.
He was on a good roll until he let Crowley steamroll him.
Mitt embodied the repub attitude that sacrificed real communications for elitist answers that the audience could never understand. Like an esoteric niche scientist speaking in techincal terms to an audience of his peers instead of a non technical audience. they give a correct answer but no one understands what they are saying.
Agree, Mitt demonstrated he was lacking confidence in his position when he let CC and obama eat his lunch. the Mass healthcare and Mitt's smile when asked about it was a huge turnoff.
then again the conservative vote was suppressed by weaponized federal agencies , media supporting obama's lies about AQ being on the run/ benghazi video and other slight of hand. Mitt would have been an improvement but the business as usual repubs are as bad as obama when it comes to negotiating.
It is somewhat hilarious hearing conservatives rant about trump when the legislators they wanted have lost ground on issues to obama and essentially accomplished nothing, nothing, nothing ...as if they never participated in the legislative process representing those they pretended to represent.
2012 could not have been made pssible without the media playing a propaganda machine supporting the obama administration. No way was the novelty election winner of 2008 not going to have two terms....if the media had anything to say about it...or keep silent at the right time.
Mitt is angry that an outsider is getting major attention in the presidential race.. Mitt was boring and lacked a back bone. Never went after Obama , looked weak and Trump hit the nail on the head.. Romney choked.
If Romney went after Obama like he did Trump , he would be in the White House and he knows it.
Where did Mitt get the crazy idea that in order to be president one should have some kind of background making pubic policy decisions or legislating? He thinks you can't just decide to run America because you'er good at TV. Mitt is just archaic, speaking of archaic, did you see the Donald trying get up to speed on foreign policy issues by having a chat with Henry Kissinger?

I am a Goldwater Republican. There are about ten of us left and Trump ain't one of them. His protectionist rhetoric would, if converted to policy, lead to a recession that would be much more devastating than the 2008 recession.

I am sitting this one out.
Interested in why you think protectionism would lead to recession?

We are in worse shape than a recession. We as a nation are broke living on borrowed money. We need to get our house in order. Too many anchor babies born here , millions, it is a meal ticket for the illegals to get welfare, food stamps and they are doing a great job having many babies. The men work under the table and they are living better than middle class. And those who have medical insurance are getting the shaft because they have to pick up the bill for the illegals indirectly.
The middle class pays taxes, pays for their food, their home, their medical and it is killing them.
We need to take care of our own here. The opened borders are kept in place for the cheap labor and they are now sending the illegals to college on our dime to bring the white collar job market salaries down .
It is supply and demand in the labor market. We are losing jobs to other countries around the world and Nafta and all these global trade agreements are sticking it to the American worker.
The rich are benefiting and the middle class are becoming poor. Theglobalists will make it so Americans will be making the same money as third world countries. We are headed to globalism and that is not good. Obama is a globalist , the rich are globalists and Trump is the first blue collar thinking billionaire who wants America to thrive. Not so with the globalists. They are rich and they don't give a damn about the American worker. They were given the shaft long ago.
Hillary wants to kill coal and thinks the miners will get retrained. for what? The welfare line to get some cheese?
