I never thought I’d be able to use “Flirtatiously coy” and “Mitt Romney” in the same sentence, but here it is.

The GOP base doesn’t want someone stable like Romney – they want a psycho girlfriend like Trump.

Who pours acid on cars.
And abducts children.
Or attacks people with kitchen knives.

They want someone who boils bunnies.

Give them someone with whom they could settle down, and it’s over – the magic is gone.

Cavuto Grills Romney.
Was he done?
Did he stick a fork in him?

But then they’d get the chance to shoot and drown the psycho girlfriend and not be charged with a crime. Hold that thought

Of course Cavuto’s hypothetical cannot happen because the order of succession to the presidency is spelled out, but then again the Constitution is no bar to what these guys want to do.

“I’m going to support whoever our nominee is.”

ESPECIALLY if that nominee is a phony and a fraud.

The subtext of the media and GOP remnant blubbering today is that a band-aid can be applied and, voilà, magic presidential candidating ensues with an invisible strong, moral leader…

In what world would Obama approach Romney to ask him to step into the Vice-Presidency or Presidency if the need arose? How could this be a fantasy scenario to be verbalized? I mean, who’d have ever thunk??

Romney repeated that he thought the odds other GOP leaders would call on him to be the nominee were “one in 10 million.”

So, Mitt,…there is a chance!

Romney: I will be glad to save the party from Trump. As soon as he endorses me, I am in. I want all of his supporters.

“What happens if President Obama steps aside and says ‘Mitt, I’m really in trouble and Joe Biden is sick, would you come in and be president?’ It’s not gonna happen,” Romney said.

What!? I mean what the hell is he talking about here?? Even as a hypothetical, it makes no sense.

The President, as I understand it, is not a big fan of Mittens here. He’d sooner go through a phone book and pick someone at random than ask the Romnulator.
