Mitt Romney to Enter Race? The Establishment’s Secret Plan B to Steal Nomination from Trump

http://www.impulsetoday.com/mitt-romney-to-enter-race-the-establishments-secret-plan-b-to-steal-nomination-from-trump-4/

The GOP establishment is desperate to prevent GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump from becoming president. They are so desperate that they may even want Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton to win instead of Trump.

So far, Trump has won three out of four elections and polls suggest that he’ll win most of the states that are voting on Super Tuesday. If this happens then he’ll most likely be the one to win the GOP nomination, which has establishment insiders scared.

As a result, there are two plans in the works to stop Trump if he continues to win states. The first plan is to have Senator Marco Rubio drop out and have Mitt Romney go up against Trump instead. The other plan is to have a third party candidate in the general election that will go up against Clinton and Trump which could still be Romney. These plans are seriously being discussed in secret right now by Republican establishment leaders.
“In a bitter fight for its life, establishment GOP leaders have decided to block Donald Trump’s nomination at all costs, even if it means losing the presidency to Hillary Clinton,” Republican insider Roger Stone said to WND on Sunday in an exclusive telephone interview.

Stone also mentioned that GOP leaders will bring in Romney if Rubio doesn’t win his home state of Florida.
“Rubio has been given until Tuesday and if he doesn’t win the Florida primary, the establishment GOP leaders have decided to dump Rubio in favor of drafting Mitt Romney,” Stone explained. “If Rubio cannot win Florida, then Rubio drops out and Romney is in.”

Yup,bring in the Willard on his White Horse Savior of the Constitution theme. Romney's face has been test marketed the last two months in various Newspapers here in the West. Appears this is and has been the Elites Strategy from the get go.
