The Romney v Trump war has begun. Couple observations:
1) Interesting to see some conservatives who rejected what they called Romney's big government-ness now embrace him now as the anti-Trump pol.
2) Everyone is being played to divide the field for 2020.

Here’s what some still don’t realize: Many voters interpreted the lack of aggression in fighting for them (from previous GOP pols) to mean a lack of concern for their problems. Voters know they didn’t pick a nice guy. It’s why they voted the way they did.
I’ve heard this more times than I can count from listeners across the country. Some now are struck by this newfound aggressiveness in pols like Romney, who, to them, seems to be doing more here to oppose the GOP than Democrats. A top radio topic today due to listener email.
Perhaps you don’t share this view, but realize many voters do. It will be a problem with which Romney must content going forward. He could be a real unifier … or we could essentially have another intra-party war. Time will tell.
I don’t think this is solely an issue of simple, legitimate criticism; the timing is weird, the charge rather big, and there are a couple of aspects of Romney’s op/ed with which I take some issue (discussing on air today; live in 45 minutes).
