Some in the GOP are so fearful and desperate that Donald Trump or Ben Carson could actually win the 2016 nomination for president, that they are begging Mitt Romney to join the race.

I do not understand how some Americans think. After the tragedy in Paris, Donald Trump’s poll numbers rose. Really? He knows absolutely nothing about international affairs or the defense of our nation. His qualifications to lead our country are nil. What are people thinking when they select Trump’s name when asked who they would trust most to protect them?

The GOP is not only the party which conjures up fear, it is in fear. It now knows that Trump could actually win their party’s nomination for 2016. For years the GOP accepted him and asked him to speak at CPAC and other events. They forgot the old axiom ‘be careful what you wish for.’

Mitt Romney claims that there is no possible way that he would enter the 2016 race. He is too intelligent a man and knows that if he would challenge Trump, he would be forced to play ‘the Donald’s’ game. Romney is an experienced politician and understands what is needed now with the election less than one-year away.

So, my GOP friends, you are stuck with 14 totally unqualified candidates led by the class clown. It’s your own fault, you chose unwisely when you cast your ballot. You have no effective leaders. If Reince Priebus is the best you can do, chaos will continue to be the norm.
