Gingrich: Romney’s anti-Trump efforts ‘pathetic’
The Hill ^ | May 23, 2016 | Mark Hensch

Newt Gingrich on Monday panned Mitt Romney’s campaign against Donald Trump as a weak effort that had not hurt the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee.

“It’s pathetic,” he said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "I don’t know what happened to Mitt, but it is weird; it is bizarre. Having a guy like that go berserk in public makes you wonder what his problems are."

Romney has emerged as one of the biggest critics of Trump, and earier this year gave a speech that excorciated him.

“Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud,” he said on March 3 at the University of Utah. "His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University.

Reports emerged earlier this month that Romney was among those courting potential third-party challengers that would derail Trump’s Oval Office bid. Romney purportedly abandoned his hunt for an independent White House hopeful last week, and also concluded that he would not launch a challenge himself.

Gingrich on Monday said that Romney had not caused any stumbles in Trump’s march towards the GOP’s presidential nominee.

“[It was] not particularly effective,” he said. "[It] objectively does not hurt Trump, who I suspect by the way will carry Utah.”

Utah is Romney’s home state.

Trump said last week that Gingrich is “absolutely” on his shortlist for the vice presidency, calling him a “great supporter” and a “tremendous guy."

Romney will be remembered for his jealousy and his
grubering America to impose his RomneyCARE and
RomneyMarriage (without a single vote, except HIS).

What a grim picture....old Mitt knew all was lost at that moment. I think Mitt is humiliated that he let and even bigger loser, Jeb, talk him out running in 2016 when the two of them met last year. Mitt got bluffed-out by a clown & it’s eating him alive that Trump took the nomination that he thinks is his.

Romney will be remembered for his refusal to campaign for the votes of 47% of US citizens. When causes for the 2016 voter anger are listed in history books, that will be a prime example of just how detached the political class has become from people they are supposed to represent.

Romney will be used as the poster child for out-of-touch elitist snobs who have no respect or regard for their voting fodder. His elitism will be blamed for four more years of Obama and all the destruction that has done to the nation. He deserves to be vilified and despised forever.
