  He cannot be allowed to destroy the mantle of conservatism with his demagoguery.
When was the last time the GOPe permitted an actual conservative to bear the standard? It sure as heck wasn't Mitt.

Let 'em.  He won't win, and the GOP won't either.

You'd prefer president Clinton over president Trump?

Romney's free lancing.  Nobody put him up to this.
I'd be surprised if he was "freelancing." But even if he is, what does he hope to accomplish?

"Here's what I know: Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud," Romney said. "His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He's playing members of the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House, and all we get is a lousy hat."

You can spout off all the gopE and democratic talking points all you want, but his support will follow him.

Yep I can't wait to get down to the election office to register independent. I've threatened it before but the GOP and Romney just forced my hand.

Begin to galvanize the #NeverTrump movement.

And it IS a movement.  There are some very large donors lining up to oppose Trump.

Romney spoke at the University of Utah.  The cable channels covered it just like they cover a Trump beholding.

I just posted that very same thing on FB.  I'm not even a Trump supporter, but Mitten's speech just left a bad taste in my mouth.

I am not at all a Trump supporter, but I have no use for Mitten's comments. Just go away, already, Mitt!

That would please me no end.  I prefer the GOP to be a party for conservatives.   Let Trump peddle his ethnic nationalism crapola in an independent run.

Limbaugh said some interesting things today:

Quote
...During the eighties, I was working for many of those years for a baseball team and then got back into radio in 1984.  But I only knew the surface.  I did not know that the underpinnings inside the Republican Party had a deep resentment of Reagan.  I was in Kansas City in '76 during the convention and I saw it there. But that was, I thought, just the result of competition between Ford, the incumbent, and the outsider, Ronaldus Magnus.  It wasn't 'til later that I really learned that there is an active dislike for conservatives in the Republican Party, and it has existed for a long time.

And it's traceable to 1964 and Goldwater.

You know, for the longest time I asked myself. Before I became aware of it, I asked myself, "What is this? It doesn't make any sense.  The last time the Republican Party enjoyed real power for eight straight years was during Ronald Reagan, and what was Reagan?  Reagan was conservatism.  Reagan was the embodiment of it.  Reagan had 49-state landslide wins.  Reagan had massive approval numbers.  Reagan's policy worked every place it was implemented.  The American people loved Reagan!  There were Reagan Democrats.

"The Republican Party was loved!" It didn't make sense to me that the Republican Party would not want more of that.  But the first chance they had to get rid of any Reagan residue, they took it.  And I later learned... There are many reasons why, by the way. Not the least of which is ideological disagreements with moderate, RINO Republicans. They don't like conservatism, for many reasons, social issues being probably top of the list. But there are many other reasons.  They're embarrassed of conservative-type people.

They have a stereotypical image of them. They think they're Deliverance kind of people. They don't want to hang with them.  It's a class thing, folks, as I was discussing with you recently.  So whenever a conservative comes along in presidential politics on the Republican side, or whenever conservatism presents itself as something that might actually gain power within the Republican Party, they panic, and they start talking about '64, not the eighties.  They don't reflect back on the wondrous years of the Reagan years.

They go back and think of the Goldwater landslide loss.  That's what conservatism means to them.  It was such a profound thing that Goldwater landslide loss, that that's what conservatism means to them.  Conservatism means losing 49 states, not winning 49 states.  It's the most amazing thing.  And here's what they miss.  Yes, Goldwater lost. But any Republican was gonna lose because that was coming off the JFK assassination just a year earlier, a year prior to the election.  There was no way any Republican was gonna win that. ...

About flippin' time.  Let Trump run third party if he wants to continue running his con.

Trump is the GOP front runner and has been put there by voters.  Why should Trump go third party?  It's you GOoPers who are threatening to either vote Dem or go third party.

Why don't you run along and vote for HRC as you've said you'll do.
Trump has created a cult and looks more and more like Hitler every day.

I'm in a closed primary state (Oregon), so I'm waiting until after the primary and most likely the convention to decide if I'm changing my registration to Indy.
