So much for being the party of personal responsibility. Former governor and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was invited on this week's Fox News Sunday to discuss the current crop of potential Republican presidential contenders.

Rather than admit that it's doing damage to his party to have to move so far to the right to get through the primaries, or that the so-called "religious freedom" laws like the one Indiana Gov. Mike Pence just had to back track on are making them look "out of touch" with voters, Romney blamed Democrats for taking political advantage of the poor helpless Republicans and he blamed... get this, the presidential debate moderators.

They're going to have the same problems during this primary season as they had the last time around because their base has done nothing but move even further to the right, no matter how hard Romney and his ilk try to spin it:...

ROMNEY: Well, I do think that people running for office whether in the past or in the future will stick to the principles that they have, but sometimes during these debates the moderators focus on issues that are highly with divisive issues and end up having people pull away from us.

1. Nobody has to make the GOP look out of touch.

They manage to do that quite capably themselves.

5. Romney is a bitter, wealthy old fool

who says debates would better serve the American public (well, those who pay the slightest bit of attention, anyway), if they were softball games or Kumbaya songfests.

Ugh.

I hope he falls asleep every night hearing, "Please proceed, Governor, " but I doubt it. He's got his.

Fuck him.

6. I believe Romney will be the Republican candidate

pick by a brokered convention. Too many candidates for any one to receive a majority o delegates. Rmoney will be a comprise acceptable to all.

7. I'll take that bet.

He's political poison at this point, IMO, and his political career is over.

8. Maybe, but I do not believe it will be Jeb

if not Bush, the most likely candidate is Walker

9. Oh, I have no doubt of that at all. n/t.
