When Mitt Romney launched into attack mode against Donald Trump, it turned heads. The sight of mild mannered Mitt hurling charges like “phony” and “fraud” at the GOP frontrunner was not only out of character, it was without purpose. To whom was Romney speaking? Establishment Republicans and pundits have already made up their minds, and won’t be voting for Trump no matter what Romney says. Grassroots conservatives who view Romney as the embodiment of everything wrong with the GOP establishment were likely encouraged that their new Trump coalition has the establishment worried enough to bring out the “big guns.” The speech left many wondering: how could Romney be so tone deaf? Well, maybe he wasn’t.
FEC filings suggest a surprising degree of overlap in the underpinnings of the Romney 2012 campaign and the Trump 2016 effort.
Both campaigns use the same Establishment-linked bank, Chain Bridge Bank, located in McLean, VA. Not a big surprise for Romney, but for New York based Trump?
