Your analysis is not founded on any known fact. It's a hunch, intuition, whatever, but it makes no sense at all. Eastwood did not take a dump on Romney's campaign intentionally. He played to the house. He put vile words in President Obama's mouth. He used a throat slitting gesture in reference to the President. He used stereotypical repuke lines against him.

It's just absurd to say he did this on purpose.
