[EX Q]: If there was a Trump-versus-Clinton race , where would Romney stand ? 
It was a high bar , but Mitt Romney met the challenge . 
But not Romney . 
Romney literally spoke of Trump as "twisted ." 
But Mitt Romney did not say he would refuse to vote for Trump as the Republican nominee in the fall . 
Romney dominated the discussion following the Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses that saw Donald Trump dramatically advance his candidacy for the nomination of the party that made Romney its standard-bearer four years ago . 
But Romney has also ripped Clinton and said she "must not become president ." 
Cynics will argue that Romney simply wants to set himself up as that alternative . 
Romney fails to endorse an alternative to Trump . 
But not Romney . 
Next to nothing , because Mitt Romney 's speech did not answer what now quite likely will be the essential question for Republicans in the 2016 cycle : Will those who oppose Trump as a candidate for the party nomination oppose Trump as the nominee of the party ? 
As Romney prepared to speak , commentators announced that "the Mitt is about to hit the fan ." 
The political and media elites , who have always taken Romney more seriously than the American electorate has , did everything they could to pump up the hot-air balloon , and then Romney popped it . 
But if we take Romney at his word that his speech Thursday was not an announcement of candidacy -- as the pick of a brokered convention or as an independent "Lincoln Republican" alternative in November -- then what are we left with ? 
Romney offered credible criticism of Trump . 
Romney has ripped Trump and said that he should not be the Republican nominee . 
Romney tells us that Trump is "a phony and fraud" and : "His domestic policies would lead to recession . 
Romney called Trump 's approach to foreign policy "recklessness in the extreme" and declared that Trump "lacks the temperament to be president ."

Emmanuel Macron had won the French presidency on a promise to relaunch Europe. And  Angela Merkel   on track to win a fourth term as German chancellor  looked ready to embrace his bold vision  telling an audience in Bavaria that it was time for Europe to take its fate into its own hands.
So far the SPD leadership has shown no signs that it will go back on its pledge to go into opposition. On Monday   Merkel  appeared to rule out a minority government. So unless something changes  a new election could be the only way forward.
Crucially  polls suggest that a new German election would not give  Merkel  more coalition options than  she  had coming out of the Sept. 24 vote.
Indeed  if voters blamed  her  conservatives for failing to form a government the first time around   she  could emerge even weaker than  she  is now.
