Romney KNOWS His Role is to bow to the coup and execute the plan and his reward will be great...

NORQUIST: All we have to do is replace Obama. ...

We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. ...

We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate. ...

Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen ... This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.

ROMNEY knows his role:

Romney's role is to bow to the coup, play the role outlined above, and execute the plan. That's not weakness; that's being a good soldier.

The difference between Romney and the lesser good soldiers — Romney will cash in like an owner when the Koch-couped Republicans finally do take power. His reward will be great; he has no incentive not to go along.
