Yes, Romney did come out against Trump. Yes, Romney being a “good guy” is tongue in cheek. I don’t think politicians have “friends”.
READ the answers below as I have and you can almost feel the anger we all feel. I believe Mr. Trump has it right.
“I’m not for throwing away the system, just the corrupt SOBs that are running it (really perverting it) for their own interests and not those of the American People.”
I think thats the end result of electing a man like Trump right after Obama. Everything he’s ever done has been for his own self-interest.
It's a movement, a happening. Vote an American for America.
Trump or Bust
I happen to disagree with you - in good faith.
I also know that I may be wrong - I don’t put my faith in mere men. However, we HAVE to elect someone. I think that the least bad electable person is Trump. I don’t think that Cruz is electable in this cycle - too many negatives in the press and public perception (incl. in the Republican Party because the establishment types hate him, just like they hated Reagan). He needs more seasoning and more time in front of the public. His day will come...if he doesn’t lose gracefully this time.
“I don’t think politicians have “friends”.”
Harry Truman was right about that one - “If you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog.”
Actually, just yesterday, Romney asked that Trump release his tax info. Romney is a backstabber. He is now trying to take Trump down.
Nevermind. I had misread the auto-corrects in your post.
By "Clean Air" are you referring to the "Clean Power Plan"?
"On Tuesday of last week, Justice Antonin Scalia joined the Supreme Court majority staying EPA regulations proposed by Barack Obama for his so-called "Clean Power Plan." That plan was just the latest SCOTUS objection to Obama's extra-constitutional efforts to bypass Congress and impose his will by regulatory fiat instead of legislation. On Tuesday of this week, in the wake of Justice Scalia's death, Barack Obama's United Nations climate envoy declared that Obama would ignore the High Court's ruling against his "climate change" agenda and, moreover, ignore the Constitution's mandate requiring "Consent of the Senate to make Treaties" -- as specified in Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 -- by signing the UN Climate Treaty.

McCain and Romney almost won. Romney certainly SHOULD have won if he hadn’t thrown the election.
The “he’s not electable” is a talking point pushed by Trump. Trump is an expert at reading his audience and marketing.
You got it.....The fact that they would rather have Bernie or Hillary is VERY telling.
If it takes the election of Hillary Clinton to keep the status quo, they view it as to their benefit. They are now the Uniparty.
They don’t give a rat’s rear if that requires a Hillary Presidency, so be it!
And just who is this Wilson GOPe “With God as mY Witness I Will Never Vot for Donald Trump” character who thinks he’s so influential??
By "Clean Air" are you referring to the "Clean Power Plan"?
To make it clear, Obama came up with a set of regulations he called the "Clean Power Plan." But they were only regulations, not a law. And to be valid regulations, they have to be based on an underlying law. In this case, the underlying law on which they were supposedly based was the Clean Air Act. The Supreme Court rejected that, and said that Obama's Clean Power Plan exceeded the EPA's authority under the Clean Air Act. The President can sign whatever Agreements he wants -- the Constitution doesn't prevent that. In fact, there is a pretty long history of U.S. President's signing international agreements without the consent or approval of the Senate. The Treaty of Versailles, for example. President signed it, Senate never ratified it, so it was never U.S. law.. Same with the Kyoto Protocol. Clinton signed it, Senate didn't ratify it, so it was unenforceable.
Obama just did the same with the Paris Agreement, which even by its own terms has no enforceable provisions even if ratified. The joke is that countries realized they'd have a hard time getting the agreement of their people/legislatures, so they deliberately designed the Paris Agreement to not be a treaty anyway.
So, the Agreement that Obama signed has no direct relationship at all with the Supreme Court's hold on the Clean Power Plan. If someone says it does, they don't know what they're talking about.
He was actually good on immigration ( Trump called him "mean-spirited", for what it's worth), and would have been an infinitely better President than Obama.
I don't need Donald Trump to do my thinking for me. If we were talking about commercial real estate, I might change my tune, but on politics I do my own thinking - and I think that Ted Cruz, for as much as I like him and his positions, might very well not win against Hillary (Sanders he'd trounce, but so would my dog).

“I don’t need Donald Trump to do my thinking for me. “
Please of people do.
Sounds like I asked the right person! Thank you for straightening that out for me. I did find it rather curious that such an action as described by the author of that article could have happened without causing a “ripple”. You have sorted it out for me and I can now stop dwelling on it.
OK, fine.
You and I are probably never going to agree 100% on Trump. I have some reservations, you have more. Let’s just leave it at that.
