Romney is trying to prevent the lineup of G.O.P. hopefuls from looking like a road company of Marat/Sade. But even his short list fails to avoid that fate.

Romney aides tell Politico he intends to stay involved in the 2016 race
in the hopes of preventing some of the intra-party chaos that he
believes doomed his 2012 run.
Of course, and I mean OF COURSE, Mittens is unaware of the fact that “intra-party chaos” is already happening. To quote the excellent Charlie Pierce from his blog:
“This is now the second consecutive election cycle in which the
Republican primary field is essentially made up of independent bodies
orbiting their own private suns”
Mitt’s cash will help JEB to an extent but I do believe there’s a big chance they’ll be a brokered convention. Too many clowns with too many followers who are true believers.

As a left-winger, I tremble at the alliance of two such savvy politicos with proven track records.

As Mitt goes, so goes the nation’s right-wing billionaires.

Anyone else feel like Romney is trying to bail out the GOP boat with a sieve?

Mitt Romney does not have charm, he has counter-charm. He’s the kiss of death.

There are policy distinctions amongst these pixies? They must come down to “Ronald Reagan was the greatest president in the history of the galaxy” vs. “Ronald Reagan was the greatest president in the history of the universe.”

LOL at those two threatening to herd the tea party cats (with apologies to cats).
It will go something like this: http://1.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kooijzInHX1qz4t8no1_400.jpg

Sen. Marco Rubio, Sen. Lindsey Graham, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, and former CEO of HP Carly Fiorina
And which one of these titans would Mittens consider the candidate with a snowball’s chances in hell of being electable? Who has the greatest appeal nationally I do wonder?

Okay, that’s all well and good. But who’s going to tell the Koch brothers and their $900 million war chest that they need to get into line?

Yes. Of course. It was “inter-party chaos” that doomed his campaign. That must be it. Nothing intrinsically wrong with him as a candidate or his campaign or the ability of rightwingers generally to accept empirical reality. It wasn’t the fact that Republican presidential hopes now entirely depend upon getting an unobtainably large share of a single shrinking demographic group.
Nope. It was the chaos. That’s why they were unable to convince white people who’d never voted for them before to switch before the Others took over the country and ruined it for good.
Well by gosh, if there’s one thing obscenely wealthy men can do behind closed doors in quiet rooms, it’s squelch chaos. And if a Mormon millionaire who made his money sucking the blood out of middling companies and selling their dessicated husks to greater fools can come together with an utterly corrupt exploiter of gambling addicts, what can’t we accomplish in our quiet rooms furnished with tasteful furniture made out of endangered tropical wood species? Nothing, I say, nothing! This time for sure!

Firstly, I thought Chaos was Mittwit’s middle name. Secondly, did Adelson agree to be baptized in the Mormon Church yet, 'cause gee-willikers (as RMoneybot might say), its coming. Dead or alive, they don’t give a shit…someone will take the plunge on your behalf Sheldon. If not now, enjoy your conversion in the afterlife asshole.
These two are freakazoids, or as Herman Cain proudly claimed of the Koch Bros., are all brothers from another mother…So really, not much has changed. They just rounded up a few more nutjobs to their freaky family affair. Plutocrats Unite To Rule The World!!..Good luck keepin’ down all the crazies. You can’t fake what you can’t shake. Besides, that ship sailed a long time ago. Remember oh lauded billionaire class, we still got audio and video on all of you fuckers.

GOP Election Motto: “We need the best candidate corporate money can buy, and our faithful rabble, the “base,” will vote for us no matter what.”
