I used to respect this guy. In the last few days we have seen misrepresent why the base is so disturbed by the what the establishment is doing... and now see below... What could motivate Romney to piss on his years of presenting himself as a solid character. Did Rubio offer him a VP shot if he could derail Trump? http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...-mitt-romney-when-america-needed-him-in-2012/ Why We Lose: Where Was Dirty Trickster Mitt Romney When America Needed Him In 2012? on Fox News Wednesday afternoon, 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney dropped a big ole’ a dirty bomb on Donald Trump. Speaking to Neil Cavuto, Romney said, without any evidence, that he has “good reason to believe that there’s a bombshell in Donald Trump’s taxes.” As someone who suffered through every moment of Romney’s feckless presidential campaign, the first thing I thought to myself was “Where the hell was this killer when we needed him most?” Listen, I have no issue with Romney dropping a dirty bomb, especially on a Donald Trump who is the master of launching these kinds of insinuations. Politics, especially at the presidential level, is not about Marquis of Queensbury. It’s about proving your skill as a campaigner, your ability to keep the other guy on defense. The fact that you might be offended by that reality does not change that reality. So let’s stop for a moment and applaud Romney’s skills at pulling an effective “ Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) 2% ,” at being an effective McCarthyite dirty trickster 30 hours before Thursday night’s Republican debate, at giving Hillary’s DC Media Super PAC the anti-Trump talking points they are so desperate for. No question, Romney pulled it off with skill and panache. However…. Romney also reminded folks like myself that the Republican Establishment is a dumpster fire of incompetence, a group of elite stiffs genetically incapable of winning national elections. When it comes to sticking a stiletto into a fellow Republican, suddenly Romney is Mitt the Machiavellian! Unfortunately, when it came to beating beatable incumbent Barack Obama in 2012, Romney couldn’t even deal with Candy Crowley; couldn’t prosecute Benghazi; couldn’t competently handle the questions around his own taxes; could neither shun nor embrace his wealth; couldn’t comprehend that in 2012 maybe you should assume everything is recorded before writing off 47% of voters; couldn’t do one damn thing effectively to win even a single news cycle against a failed incumbent. Oh, but look at Romney now — diving in the gutter and proving that Mr. Squeaky Clean is in fact quite capable of doing what it takes to win … against his own. For America, Romney couldn’t do it, even as Team Obama accused him of murder. To protect the Establishment Trough, though, suddenly he’s a Man willing to get his hands dirty. You know who does not have this genetic defect? Donald J. Trump, and that is a very, very big part of his appeal. Not that we needed it, but thanks for the reminder that the GOP Establishment needs to be burned to the ground, and its ashes tied to the roof a car that we bury in a luxury elevator.

http://www.breitbart.com/video/2016...m-to-prevent-trump-from-getting-endorsements/ Thursday on his radio show, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh speculated on what former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA), the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, was attempting to accomplish when claimed there was a “bombshell” in Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s taxes on Fox News Channel a day earlier. According to Limbaugh, it’s possible Romney was trying to prevent any “Republican establishment types” from endorsing Trump. Partial transcript as follows: So everybody’s saying, “What is Romney doing? What is Romney thinking?” Romney has launched his own version of a Dingy Harry attack on Trump about taxes. I’m gonna tell you what Romney’s doing, and then we’ll get some detail on this. What I think Romney’s doing, is I think Romney is freezing endorsements for Trump. I think that in the bowels of the Republican establishment they’re very worried that a bunch of Republicans are on the verge of endorsing Trump. And I think Romney goes out there and starts attacking Trump on his taxes to freeze any of that, to stop endorsements for Trump. There may be something to it, too, for all I know. There are people that don’t believe Trump’s worth what he says he’s worth. There are people that don’t believe Trump has accomplished half of what he says he accomplished in business. There are people that think that he’s done all this — his lifestyle and business — on a wing and a prayer, and that the only reason he gets away with it is the banks are so invested in him by way of loans that they can’t foreclose on him without taking themselves down. There’s all kinds of people who have thinking that for years about Trump. Romney’s point is, “Hey, you know what?” Romney’s trying to make it look like he’s seen Trump’s taxes, and he’s trying to make it look like Trump’s taxes are not the taxes of a billionaire. I mean, he’s not paying very much. This is what is being insinuated. It’s what being implied. And you’re supposed to infer that, “Well, he’s not paying nearly enough taxes for a billionaire, so either he’s not a billionaire or he’s cheating or maybe he’s not donating all that money to charity that he says he is.” All of this… People say, “Why would Romney do this?” Because he’s learned how effective it is, probably. This is exactly what Dingy Harry did to him, and Romney didn’t exactly handle it very well when it happened to him. So I think maybe it’s just an attempt… I think he’s trying to freeze Trump where he is on this possibility there might be Republican establishment types on the verge of endorsing Trump.
Ann CoulterVerified account@AnnCoulter Meanwhile, the "bombshell" in Trump's tax returns appears to be his paying for Mitt Romney's sex change operation.
The GOP should pull Rubio and Cruz and run Romney. The problem with Rubio is that he looks like a grown up gay pool boy who can't debate and as for Cruz, well, if you can get past that retarded Southerner look, he just doesn't have a real platform to run on. They're both pikers next to Trump on stage and we all know Trump can't beat Hillary. And speaking of Hillary, she has such a large amount of dislike or hate or whatever you call it, Romney should be able to beat her.
Trying to lose ON PURPOSE! Only wanted to put up a "front" of competing for the job, and a tame one at that. I think he had the ammo to derail Odumbo, but didn't use it... just twiddled this thumbs. Care to guess why? Odumbo did America a LOT of damage in his 2nd term... and I for one think Romney has some "blood on his hands" over the campaign (front) he ran.
I've puzzled over it for 4 years. He seems to have dumped the election to Obama. What could possibly motivate that?
