Do Reince Priebus & RNC powers-that-be realize how badly rolling out Mittens is going to backfire?

[marmar]

Do they really think resurrecting a serial loser will sway a Repug electorate that loves strongman/big daddy types? .... The utter cluelessness of the establishment in this election cycle is astounding.

[etherealtruth]

1. That's OK .... no reason to tip them off

it will make the election of a President Sanders or President Clinton that much sweeter

[joeybee12]

2. No, they don't...

And that's fine with me.

[jberryhill]

3. No, they have no idea

I think what they are doing is rolling out the MittBot 2.0 so that it won't be a surprise when his name is floated during the trainwreck of a convention they are going to have.

[marmar]

5. Agreed.

[Hugin]

4. Yep, you don't fight the Blob by throwing Blob at it.

Haven't they ever watched a sci-fi movie?

[Svafa]

6. It's going to be really fun to watch.

[tk2kewl]

7. Mitt's a loooooooooooooooser!

yeah, i doubt its gonna help

[fleur-de-lisa]

8. It's astounding that they think a stiff, constipated, rich asshole like rMoney

can sway the red neck masses from supporting Drumpf.

The hicks love Drumpf because he is a crass, racist, diarrhea-mouthed bully who always says the first thing that pops into his head.

Drumpf is exactly what each of his supporters hopes to be someday, a rich asshole who can do whatever he wants with no repercussions!

[Buzz Clik]

12. Your comments about Romney are nearly direct quotes of Trump.

Not that I give a damn about Romney, but I'd be careful who you're quoting.

[fleur-de-lisa]

13. I'm not 'quoting' anyone. I'm at work and have not seen any televised news today.

Nor have I read anything about Drumpfs statements. My words are my own. Did Drumpf call himself crass?

[kairos12]

25. Very well said.

[HooptieWagon]

9. Rolling Romney out won't influence Trump supporters.

They view him as part of the problem in their party.

[Buzz Clik]

10. It will narrow Trump's fan base even further.

Those that already love Trump will be energized. The undecideds ... not so much.

[fleur-de-lisa]

17. That is a ridiculous assumption.

"Narrow Trump's fan base even further" . . . that is just silly.

[Buzz Clik]

20. It's my opinion. Don't like it?

I don't give a damn.

[fleur-de-lisa]

22. And another Clintonite goes on my ignore list.

[Buzz Clik]

23. Who cares?

[hollowdweller]

11. GOP's revolution is a populist one. I can't see how Romney will help.

[beachbum bob]

14. trumps appeal to base nature of people in primay elections will not work

in general elections....the GOP is sunk no matter what happens now....its the most awesome political fracturing of a party I have seen in 45yrs of following politics.....I gotta get more popcorn!!!!!

[Surya Gayatri]

18. Just mindblowing...who knew that Drumpf's annoucement back in June

would presage the destruction of the GOP?

[Hortensis]

15. WHO is backing Romney and who is backing

Rubio, say? Romney can self-fund to begin, but is the RNC establishment bringing him on? The Kochs didn't like him before, but will their organization back him now or oppose him with their own choice? Is Rubio out, or will it be a battle of the titans?

I have no answers. I'm just wondering what is happening here. Is the Right simultaneously in chaos and coming together monilithically at the top to get a reliable anti-government conservative in the Oval Office?

[951-Riverside]

16. LOL! They just undermined themselves big time

First mistake: They let Trump rise to popularity without opposition.

Second mistake: Once Trump became the front runner, they put Mitt Romney (a loser) out there to undermine the front runner. Ironically this same loser endorsed Trump back in 2012.

Third Mistake: They've just fractured their party beyond repair so whoever the Democratic nominee is will just walk right in.



Talk about DUMB!

[Iggo]

19. I didn't see the speech. Did he really say let's see his tax returns?

That would be ironic nirvana right there.

[Vinca]

21. This is a man who not only outsourced American jobs,

he sliced and diced the businesses Americans used to work at and sold them to the highest bidder. Pot meet kettle. Mitt and "The Donald" are more like two peas in a pod.

[randome]

24. "Powers-that-be"? The truth is that only pathetic Priebus is in charge of the GOP.

Which translates to...no one being in charge!

26. It's going to give Trump another bump

I know, I'm a poet.
