"I won't say who they are."

"I won't mention their names, but they're talking about Romney like he's Reagan. You know, 'The debate performances were the best debate performances of any Republican nominee in presidential history. This guy–he's iconic.' They were talking about him because they believed he was going to win in four or five days," Senor said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"In fact, some of them were already talking to our transition to position themselves for a Romney cabinet," he added.

Still not naming names, Senor said the tone dramatically changed in the days following Romney's loss, as many top GOP leaders conducted post-mortem analysis of the campaign.

"I won't say who they are. They know who they are. They were on television. I mean, it was unbelievable. It was five, six days later, (they were) absolutely eviscerating him," he said.

"Mitt? Mitt who? Oh, that guy. Never thought much of him (now that he's lost and I have no chance of a cabinet position)."

how quickly and loudly they started trashing Romney. I Guess they have decided that he is 100% responsible for their loss so of course there is no need to make any changes in policy or approach for 2016. As Democrats we should all be perfectly fine with their faulty assessment. Rommey hasn't helped himself with the repubs by continuing to say aloud what they all think but have sense enough to keep quiet about.
