Mitt Romney went insane earlier today, launching an attack on GOP front runner Donald Trump, in an effort by the Republican Party to sabotage its own front runner and ensure a humiliating defeat this fall for a party that has fetishized defeat as a noble virtue.
Or at least that’s how it looks to me. Apparently GOPe has decided that they would much prefer another President Clinton to the possibility of actually winning anything, and will take down their own party to make sure they cruise into the November election to a humiliating Goldwater-like defeat by splitting the party.
And for what?
It’s hard to grasp this split is simply over policy differences. Position wise, Trump is a moderate Republican. In spite accusations to the contrary, Trump is no right wing zealot. Instead he, as an analysis piece in the Washington Post points out, he is a “textbook moderate.” The weird thing is, if you break it down issue by issue, Trump is a RINO, the exact type of Republican the establishment should love, and the exact type they’ve foisted on the Republican electorate in the past, and the exact type that they’ve always said was the only electable choice.
So what’s different? Except for trade, Trump is running on Romney’s 2012 platform. Now before you say, immigration, Romney ran on “self deportation.” The health reform plan that he released today is almost identical to the one Romney ran on. I can’t remember when a candidate has ran on a platform so identical to his failed predecessor. Is giving up bad trade deals that important to them? Or is it just a matter of style? Trump is a “short fingered vulgarian” after all. Or is it just that he’s running without any donor support and needs nothing from the GOPe?
Inquiring minds…
In the meantime, important GOP establishment “thought leaders,” inspired by Mitt Romney’s bout of suicidal mental illness, are planning their own vivisection of the Republican Party.
I can think of a name for the new party; the Whigs. The future of the Republican Party is starting to look like it’s past.

Trump is a set up by the liberal press to make sure we have a Clinton presidency. Just watch my words, young Sawyer. You’re in for a sad awakening.

This year, you don’t actually need the liberal media to sabotage the likely Republican nominee, the Republican Party is doing that for them.
