There is a chance the Donald will not stand still for deadlock and dark horse candidate, it just isn't his style. If he bolts the GOP, citing mistreatment as stated on his pledge, Romney would possibly be the establishment candidate in a race that would almost certainly be won by the Democrat. There are other candidates better positioned -- Paul Ryan comes to mind -- but being the suicide candidate in the election which split the GOP down the middle is something that no politician with any future ambition (and that certainly includes Ryan, Rubio, Kasich and others) wants on his resume.Andrea Mitchell: Romney Arguing For Deadlock, Putting Himself Out There As Party's Alternative To Trump

You could very well be correct in your analysis; however, there may be benefits to the GOP (as perceived by the GOP establishment) to a Romney nomination even though he is once again defeated in his bid for the White House.There is a chance the Donald will not stand still for deadlock and dark horse candidate, it just isn't his style.

Mitt has already failed twice, no one will look to him to save the party, he has way too much baggage. Kasich said today, his strategy is to force a brokered convention, he is under some delusion that he could prevail, ain't gonna happen. It's really simple, if the party plays games and tries to nominate someone who is not in the top two at the end of the primaries, a huge chunk of the party will stay home like they did with Romney, and that could cost them all the way down the ballot.
No, I think Mitt's done. And it's too bad because he is a decent man who knows how govt works ... when it is actually functional.Andrea Mitchell: Romney Arguing For Deadlock, Putting Himself Out There As Party's Alternative To Trump

The GOP is in the midst of a protracted civil war for the control of the Party. The establishment is convinced that if Trump is the candidate, the Democrats will win. They may be wrong, of course, and Trump may be our next president, but the GOPest. thinks this is impossible.
The establishment is already resigned to defeat by Hilary. The Romney plan is not to get him elected, although that would be nice, but to ensure that the control of the party machinery remains in its hands, if necessary by splitting the party in two. It is a desperate plan but the GOPest. believes that if Trump can only be stopped by a brokered convention, desperate measures are in order.

All I can say is the party could be playing games that could hurt them much more than a Trump presidency would.

Perhaps short term. But a Trump Presidency could have long term repercussions for the Republican Party.
