if they've basically conceded the nomination then why attack trump so hard? it's not like the base is gonna forget it.

Because Trump also needs to fail in the general for the GOP to remain relevant, so some of them will be tearing him down from now until November. The party, as is, can maybe be saved if they can say "see, see, we told you this wouldn't work and now you have Clinton, come back to us."

I think they expect them to get this out of their system and come back and quietly vote for traditional conservatives again.

It seems like the GOP establishment is actively pushing Trump since Super Tuesday. If the RNC did not want Romney to give this speech, then he would not. Ryan would speak out against this attack but instead he says that the Primary is not over.

Conspiracy theory thought:
In 2010, the tea party lead to the utter destruction of the Blue Dog Democrats. This indirectly lead to a more cohesive and focused Democratic Party after 2012. The Democratic Party used that attack and made themselves stronger.

The GOP might be doing the same here. By pushing Trump to the brink and making him go ahead with a 3rd party run, they can push out the utter crazy from the party to create a more cohesive party. While they would lose 2016, the self-inflicted wound could create a stronger party.

This is a half decent speech I guess compared to the rest of the 2016 clown car show. So far I've seen W outclass every Republican in one speech and now I'm watching Mittens do the same.

He called for strategic voting to cause a brokered convention so that he can try to get drafted at the convention and be the nominee.
