Here’s one more Anonymous video explaining why the group is going after Trump.

Gingrish: Romney Blew His Chance to Be Nominee with Trump Speech

March 8, 2016 Buck Banks

I think if Mitt had really wanted to maneuver for the nomination, he wouldn’t have given the speech he gave last week. Because that speech was so harsh and so intense that it virtually guaranteed that I think both for the Trump people but also for a lot of the Cruz people, that Romney would just plain be unacceptable.
