Republican funder compares the state of the GOP to Game of Thrones.

[BainsBane]

Anthony Scaramucci, a New York financier who was one of Romney’s top funders in 2012, came to Park City seeking to galvanize his old friends to help him raise money for Trump. He likened the atmosphere here to the hit HBO series “Game of Thrones.”

“I feel like Jon Snow, trying to get the Wildlings to team up with the kings of the castles,” Scaramucci said.

Recalling what he told Romney loyalists, Scaramucci said: “Your father just got slayed by your uncle, whom you don’t really like, and your uncle is now in charge. You’ve got the White Walkers descending from the north and they’re coming to hunt you and all the living. What do you do? Do you fight with your uncle or band together and fight the White Walkers?”

Romney made clear he would rather fight his uncle, figuratively speaking.

Sacaramucci is wrong on one key point: Trump is the Night King.

Mitt Romney warned that a Donald Trump presidency could normalize racism, misogyny and bigotry in the national conscience. Businesswoman Meg Whitman compared the presumptive Republican presidential nominee to Adolf Hitler. House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) was asked, uncomfortably, how he could explain his endorsement of Trump to a young child.

1. Gladly recommended.

There are few things that Romney might say that I would agree with. But this:

Mitt Romney warned that a Donald Trump presidency could normalize racism, misogyny and bigotry in the national conscience.

is definitely one of them. Unfortunately for the country these things that Romney talks about are the GOP platform absent the coded language.

9. I really hope some of them come out for the Johnson/Weld Libertarian ticket

It's too much to hope they'll openly support Hillary; but they could say they're supporting the 2 ex-Republican governors without it looking like a reversal of their positions. That might draw enough Republicans with them to doom Trump in any marginal state.

12. Johnson is polling 9% right now

So you may get your wish.
