Mitt Romney Will Deliver a Speech Tomorrow to Set America Straight or Something

Donald Trump is taking over the GOP bit by bit, and no matter who calls him out (the moderates or the strong conservatives), it doesn’t seem to stop him. Luckily for all of us, Mitt Romney will be speaking tomorrow.

That should do it.

According to Bloomberg, Romney will be delivering a major address on the presidential campaign. Presumably the phrase “The state of the Republican party is strong” has already been excised.

Now, considering how virulently anti-Trump Romney has gotten recently, you might be thinking he’s going to endorse someone or announce he’s getting into the race––either in the GOP field or as a third-party candidate should the worst happen. Multiple reports are saying that ain’t happening, so basically we’re left with a speech that will most likely be a meditation on Trump and whether the Republicans want to go down that road in the primary or general election.

So just to review, are there people who honestly think some Trump supporters will go, “You know, I was completely on board with Trump’s demagoguery and fascist tendencies, but then Mitt Romney spoke and boy did he set me straight!”?

Either way, one can only assume that Trump will send out like three mean tweets about it and he’ll take the news cycle for himself again.
