I actually nodded and agreed with a lot of it.

While watching the recap, I realized just what a blow-hard, self-important ass Brian Willaims is.

And yes, Williams is an arrogant blowhard in love with the sound of his own voice.

I still admire his old man for telling the truth when he said he was "brainwashed" by the Pentagon upon his return from Vietnam in 1968.

Sir Romney. Shane has come to town.
Predictwise better start running a Romney line. I think the Republicans will work together to get to a brokered convention and Romney will ride in. Suitable "corrupt" bargains with Kasich (VP), Cruz (AG or SCOTUS), and Rubio (SecState or SecDef).

It is better to go down this election for the Republicans than have Trump at the top of the ticket. I am not convinced that Romney would necessarily lose a 3 way. It could go to the House.

You cannot have Trump leading the Republican Party. That will not happen.

combine behind the strongest of the remaining three by particular state and let the convention decide it.

It is actually a very good speech. None of three candidates opposing Trump are nearly at this level.

Why they think dragging the guy from Bain Capital out to speak against the guy who he begged an endorsement from is mind boggling. I'm no fan of Trump, but I hope he finds something slanderous to sue Mittens over. What a freak show.

But, the juxtaposition of Romney's condemnation today with his groveling for Drumpf's endorsement in 2012 is delicious irony.
