Mitt Romney continues his desperate quest to be relevant. There is no doubt in my mind that if he had run for president this time, he would have lost badly to Trump, just like the other 16 bozos. Maybe that would have shut him up.

To the Editor:
Regarding “After Lying Low, Deep-Pocketed Clinton Donors Return to the Fore” (nytimes.com, July 28):
The Democratic convention is just winding down, and already the rich and the powerful—apparently without shame—gather to curry favor with the Clintons.
Surely, after reading this article, a few more people will start to understand why Bernie Sanders has such devoted, passionate supporters. No one else can be trusted, seemingly. Certainly not Hillary Clinton.
The corruption of money in politics is warmly embraced by her. Nothing has changed.

Stephen Hayes says that many Republicans hope that Donald Trump becomes more conservative and more presidential. Many of us hope that Hayes becomes less stupid. I mean, how smart can you be if, every day, while claiming to be a conservative, you say and do things that help Hillary Clinton get elected? She is the antithesis of conservatism.
Addendum: Jonah Goldberg, like Stephen Hayes, William Kristol, and George Will, is batshit crazy. This comment on his latest column nails it:
So you pine for the MSM to take down Trump? What will that accomplish at this point? Frankly, Trump has more conservative initiatives on the table, and is not backing down in the face of the MSM onslaught, than Dole, McCain, or Romney. Are you claiming he's less conservative than these limp conservatives? There's something else at play here for the NeverTrumpers (could it be that business is better for "conservative" pundits when a democrat is in power?).
Follow the money.
