From Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter:
“Mitt Romney’s continued embrace of Donald Trump and refusal to condemn his disgraceful conspiracy theories demonstrates his complete lack of moral leadership. Now he’s even standing by silently as Trump assails John McCain’s courage in standing up to the most extreme and hateful voices in the Republican Party—all in order to raise money for himself. If Mitt Romney lacks the backbone to stand up to a charlatan like Donald Trump because he’s so concerned about lining his campaign’s pockets, what does that say about the kind of president he would be?”

Awesome! This connects with a bunch of good narratives.
– Romney is a weak-ass flip-flopper, unable to stand up to the GOP’s most lunatic charlatan.
– In addition to being a weak flip-flopper, Romney values money over integrity.
– The GOP is full of Loonytunes and nutsos.
It is just a great play for them, and they will continue to get mileage out of it, because you know full-well that Trump is going to say some nutso shit at that fundraiser.
