These people make some decent points, but the best of those points are all known already, and are made better by fresher voices. These people need to shut the fuck up and go away. They should take a page from Volcker. Fade into the woodwork and only speak when asked, or when a dire situation in need of a true expert viewpoint is needed.
And speaking of these stale voices... Dear Mitt Romney -- go away forever. You are correct, Trump is loathed. However, you are loathed more. This seems impossible, I know. But somehow, it's true. The nation would rather elect a dishonest career politician or a buffoonish real estate developer than you. You probably don't understand this, most likely because you're a freak with not even the slightest tether to normal America, but you are "charisma anti-matter." The term "stuffed shirt" barely describes your indefatigable vacancy. You wouldn't have a drink with anyone because you can't, but even if you could, no one alive would choose to have one with you. You suck, Mitt. And if you go to the GOP convention and run your mouth off, unlike all the others, you will deserve the tooth-scattering beating you're likely to get from the Trumpkins in the hotel lobby. ...One can only hope it will prevent you from ever appearing publicly again, but this is probably unrealistic. You can't help thinking you deserved to win in 2012. And you couldn't be more wrong. Outside a small cabal of yes men in your campaign, the entirety of the nation understood from before the first vote was cast, Obama was going to beat you like a pinata.
