Good message from the wrong messenger
Just saw Mitt Romney’s speech in which he excoriated Donald Trump’s various peccadilloes, failures and personality. What he said was right on target, BUT why did the Republican machine pick a super-wealthy, failed presidential candidate to deliver it? He is exactly representative of the very socioeconomic elitist groups that the Trumpster has been railing against. His followers will also make note of the messenger and will ignore his pleas. Will they number enough to keep Trump on his path to the nomination?
The Republican brass keeps doing what it always does – talks to itself, tone-deaf to what is outside its circle. And goodness knows, Mitt is desperate to be relevant again and no doubt wants another shot at Oval Office glory. And he is just one of a line of would-be saviors who hope the Party will turn to them if things bog down at the convention in Cleveland.
Meanwhile, the remaining sloggers debating Trump will be mirror images of the Romney line. That debate tonight will be a doozy.
