Were you lying then? Romney praises Trump
Or are you lying now? Mitt Anti-Trump Speech

Holy Mitt, what a meltdown.
Add this one to Donald Trump's lengthening list of firsts: He's forced a Republican Party reckoning overdue for years, all in a few days. It took the Trump-dominated Super Tuesday contests to awaken Republican leaders to the fact that the darkest elements of the party's base, which many of them have embraced or exploited, are now threatening their party....
At one point, Mr. Romney said: "Mr. Trump is directing our anger for less than noble purposes. He creates scapegoats of Muslims and Mexican immigrants"--with absolutely no sense of self-awareness. Mr. Romney himself played to the worst kind of xenophobia when he proposed getting rid of 11 million undocumented immigrants by forcing them to "self-deport." He also listed Mr. Trump's offenses--"the bullying, the greed, the showing off, the misogyny, the absurd third-grade theatrics." Did Mr. Romney have any sense of irony when he said those words? For far too long, they could have been used to describe many in his party: legislators, congressional leadership, its policy makers.
It is an excellent thing that the Republican leaders have noticed the problem they've fostered, now embodied in the Trump candidacy. But until they see the need to alter the views and policies they have promoted for years, removing Mr. Trump will not end the party's crisis.

Call me when Mitt goes after Hillary with the same ferocity. Or Obama for that matter.
FOAD Romney.
Gop is purposely losing this election
Trump/Kasich 2016
Did the Gope think that the lefties were going to give them a warm hug and a soft blanket after they pulled this?
They just exposed themselves as being even bigger jokes.
the darkest elements of the party’s base

The NYT is talking about us friends.
But you hafta wonder why a supposedly sane seasoned politician like Mitt
would stand before the world and make a complete fool of himself over Donald.
The GOPe must promised him something special.
That GOP doesn’t know when to leave well enough alone as it is. What they’ve actually succeeded in doing is cementing my opposition to the extent that there are only two Republican candidates here in my state for whom I will vote are Trump or Cruz. The rest of the down-tickets? Not a chance in hell.
Romney made a fool of himself.
No. I say destroy the Chamber of Commerce once and for all.
I dont want them to suffer. I want them to go extinct.
New York Times ..... the ENEMY of the American people is rooting for Romney and the GOP Establishment how to DESTROY the popular will of the voters!

I bet he charged the RNC for the speech.
Maybe they were just looking for a ‘tug and a kiss’ as the exposed themselves. :0)
Mitt wants people to help him but he doesnt want to return the favor. Backstabbing SOB.
