Romney: Trump Will ‘Have to Deal with Things Far More Complicated than Republican Delegate Rules’

Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney is again warning his party of the dangers of a Donald Trump nomination, saying a three-man race likely paves the way for the New York billionaire to capture the nomination on the first ballot of this summer’s GOP convention in Cleveland.

The former Massachusetts governor, in an interview on “The David Gregory Show” podcast saysTuesday’s New York primary is an important moment in the primary fight.

“If (Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Ted Cruz) are both going at it aggressively until the very end then I think Trump gets it on the first ballot,” Romney said.

Responding to Trump’s criticism about the GOP delegate rules, Romney was dismissive, saying the rules were well known more than a year ago. And, taking another swipe at Trump, he told Gregory it’s a good thing the rules are difficult.

“After all these rules are a lot simpler than the rules of foreign affairs or the rules of our economy. And if you want to be president, you are going to have to deal with things far more complicated than republican delegate rules,” he said.

If he’s so smart, why isn’t he running things? He could be the President.

Is manipulating loopholes engineered into the tax code to enrich oneself while never producing any actual wealth more or less complicated than the delegate process? Asking for a friend.

Romney, on the other hand, will NEVER have to “deal with issues more complicated than republican delegate rules”

Lost to the worst President in American history. Even Obama said his strategy was to alienate white working-class voters, so Mitt stupidly did the same and tried to chase after those mythical Hispanic voters the media keeps telling Republicans to go after.

But I enjoyed the ass-kicking Ted Kennedy gave him in 1994. A year that saw unprecedented Republicans gains, yet Mitt loses to the Swimmer.

Just a pathetic, waste of human flesh, loser.
