Interesting theory from Mark Levin, but it's not at all convincing
Today's speech by Romney was a campaign speech for himself because Romney didn't endorse anyone in it, says Levin. In other words, Romney's saying he's available at convention.
Maybe, but this doesn't explain why Romney didn't move earlier to stop Trump, nor does it cohere with the well known fact that Romney had to be persuaded to run in 2012. He didn't have the fire in the belly then, and he doesn't now.
Jeb dropped out 11 days ago (seems like an eternity, right?), but has been on the ropes since July 2015 when Trump began to eclipse him. That's seven long months ago and $150 million goes only so far. But crickets from Romney all during that time. The establishment hasn't had a viable alternative the whole time, either. Certainly not in Rubio, who fancies himself a Reagan conservative but who has only cozied up to the establishment as a political calculation late in the game.
Romney didn't move earlier because he's always been a spineless coward. He decided to act now because he felt he had enough cover from the many elites who had finally expressed their opposition to Trump in adequate number.
Romney wouldn't fight Obama for a similar reason. He didn't have enough any cover. Republicans have given Obama a pass every single day. Romney wouldn't even fight Candy Crowley. That's because establishment Republicans want media approval. They never fight the media.
Romney is a follower, not a leader, and that's why he's a loser.
But Trump is a leader and a fighter, and he's taking over the party. And he's going to be a winner, and already is.
Wake up people: Trump is outperforming Romney in primaries to date by 1.8 to 1
Data here.
Not only could Trump buy Romney 40 times over, he's outperforming the failed politician by 80%.

WaPo story reported here in USA Today.
Trump 2016 trounces Romney 2012 in 13 states which have already voted by 1.8 to 1: 2.5 million votes to 1.4 million
The only state Mitt Romney won over Trump so far is liberal Vermont!
Georgia: Trump .501m / Romney .233m
Tennessee: Trump .332m / Romney .154m
Virginia: Trump .355m / Romney .158m
Massachusetts: Trump .311m / Romney .265m
Vermont: Trump .019m / Romney .023m
Minnesota: Trump .024m / Romney .008m
Alabama: Trump .371m / Romney .180m
Oklahoma: Trump .130m / Romney .080m
Alaska: Trump .007m / Romney .004m
Iowa: Trump .045m / Romney .029m
South Carolina: Trump .239m / Romney .168m
New Hampshire: Trump .100m/ Romney .097m
Nevada: Trump .034m / Romney .016m
The Texas primary was a late primary in 2012 after all other challengers had been vanquished, on May 29, instead of early in 2016. Romney took 1m votes vs. Trump's .757m in 2016. But Ted Cruz has won the Texas primary in 2016 with 1.239m votes, beating Romney by almost 24%.
The Arkansas primary was also late in 2012, on May 22. Romney took .104m votes vs. Trump's .133m in 2016.
Add in these two contests and Trump in 2016 beats Romney in 2012 3.358m votes to 2.519m to date, or 1.3 to 1, which in other words is by 33%.
Mitt. Romney. Loser.
Donald Trump has already eclipsed the total votes received by either Newt Gingrich or Ron Paul in 2012
Trump already has 3.36 million votes in the first 15 contests.

GOP delegate update: Trump 319, Cruz 226, Rubio 110
1237 delegates are needed to win on the first ballot at convention.
Trump is almost 26% of the way home.
Cruz is 18% of the way home.
Rubio, teh establishment mouthpiece, is 9% of the way home. That's why little Marco makes so much noise. He's trying to get attention.
Trump has won 49.73% of delegates to date, needs to capture just 50.13% of the remaining to clinch it
Trump to date has 285 of 573 = 49.73%.
Trump needs 952 more to get to 1237.
That's 50.13% of the remaining 1899 delegates up for grabs.
That means doing only about 1% better than he's been doing.
How hard is that?
Keep stressing respect for law and order in the streets and at the borders, economic growth from new capital attracted to a US low tax haven, and jobs for America's abused and dispossessed working class.
Cruz would have to up his game from 28% now to 57% to win it.
Rubio would have to up his game from 15% now to 61% to win it.
Like that's going to happen.

Trump's base, working poor and blue collar Americans, is ENORMOUS: At least 57% of all earners!
The average blue collar worker makes $32,000 a year in 2016.
In 2014 up to 90 million workers made only that much, or less.
They're YUGE!
