C'mon Mitt, put your money where your mouth is, why don't you

Well, he did bash Trump, right? Called him a phony and all that. So this should hardly be a surprise:

Mitt Romney won’t rule out accepting GOP nomination at contested convention

Let's see if he'll repeat his 2012 mistake where he bashed Gingrich so hard, lots of devout GOP supporters eventually chose to stay home on election day - and did not bother to support Mittens in the most decisive moments of the election. Really... has America run out of abled politicians that we've got to become witnesses of a political corpse being dragged out of the closet for the sake of stopping the bad kid on the block? Have things really got that desperate?

Whatever you say about The Donald, he has at least reinvigorated the GOP base, made them interested in elections again. Romney? He's like potassium bromide to the current Republican hard-on. If you truly want to see that party being rendered inert and dead like a stump, be my guest, do bring Mitt the Twit.

Republicans desperately need a face, an unofficial official spokesman, a town elder - whatever you want to call it; someone respected at every end of the party, who can settle disputes, rally the base, rally the fringe, calm the base, calm the fringe, etc.

Suggestions?

(All hands go up)

One more thing, they need to be alive.

(All hands go down)

It's good that Mitt realizes that, but unfortunate that he thinks it should be him (and even more unfortunate that there isn't an obvious answer that jumps out).

If Mitt was trying to settle disputes and calm the party by essentially ordering the base to block the party's front-runner, he got something very wrong in his whole premise.
