Talk about political whiplash.
Exactly one week ago, 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney -- in his effort to defeat Donald Trump -- campaigned in Ohio with John Kasich, telling the state's voters to cast ballots for their governor.
"Unlike the other people running, he has a real track record," Romney said of Kasich. "He has the kind of record that you want in Washington, and that's why I'm convinced that you're going to do the right thing tomorrow."
Today, however, Romney's voice appears on robocalls in Arizona and Utah, telling these voters to side with Ted Cruz -- and not to vote for Kasich.
In the robocall, Romney calls Cruz "the only Republican candidate who can defeat Donald Trump," and says "at this point a vote for John Kasich is a vote for Donald Trump."
Now neither call is contradictory -- Kasich can be the last Republican candidate left with "a real track record," and Cruz can be the only candidate remaining "who can defeat" Trump. And this all plays into Romney's call for Republicans to vote for the candidate to deny Trump the delegates he needs to get the nomination.
"Given the current delegate selection process, that means that I'd vote for Marco Rubio in Florida and for John Kasich in Ohio and for Ted Cruz or whichever one of the other two contenders has the best chance of beating Mr. Trump in a given state," Romney said earlier this month.

No wonder Willard was support chsllenged 4 yr ago...
Romney’s big money donors (his employers) are jerking him around like a marionette!
Willard the rat ALERT!
That’s Mittens - your political backstabber.
Warning to Cruz: you’ll regret his endorsement. He’ll cut you down and throw you away when you’re washed up.
He’s a political sociopath par excellence. Mittens only real loyalty is to himself.
Who made this twice loser the king maker ?
That’s because Romney intends to be the establishment choice in an open convention.
Kasich is just his tool for keeping Trump from getting 1237 delegates.
Romney is a cheap whore...
“That’s because Romney intends to be the establishment choice in an open convention.”
And what would happen to the Repub party if that took place? Disenfranchising all the Trump voters that do not want any more establishment bull crap....bye bye GOPe.
It’s a block Trump strategy disgustingly transparent without any ethics at all.
Romney wants to be parachuted in a brokered convention as the unity candidate.
He’s using Kasich and Cruz for his own ends and he has no intention of getting them anywhere.
Mittens knows exactly how to play the long game to the hilt.
The Obamacare loving, illegal amnestizing Cuban Kanuck is now officially part of the GOpee.
“And what would happen to the Repub party if that took place? “
Well I know what I will do. And I suspect a lot of my fellow Trump and Cruz supporters will do the same.
etch-a-sketch
Mittens is an insult to used car salesmen. He makes them look good.
Maybe he should self-deport to Deseret
We’ve seen more of Romney this election than the one he was running in.
First it was Rubio, then it was Kasich, now it’s Cruz. I think Romney actually imagines himself as the nominee, getting a 2nd chance at stunning failure.
Romney is a duplicites Bastard. When trump wins I hope trump sends him to GITMO.
