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."
Exactly. Right on Newt. GO NEWT GO
“Romney and Weld. Traitors.”
Bump!
Thanks, jazusamo!
I think that the Mormon church is responsible for Romney’s anti trump stance... I think that the council and the president of the council of church elders is responsible for Romney’s anti trump stance. I have a friend that is ex Mormon and is a historian who specializes in Mormon church history. a lot of the material he has shown me shows a history of the church dictating to the political leaders that are member there stance.
Well in all fairness hearing Trump repeatedly say you “choked like a dog” and calling you a “choke artist” would tend to put you off. LOL!
Let’s face it, Romney is the definition of “pathetic!”
Mitt man, just go away. It’s too late to be gracious, so just get the hell out of the limelight with your temper tantrums already.
I’m sick of all the “never trumps”. Enough already, he is what we got, let’s run and win. Cruz was my guy but he didn’t make it, time to move on because Hillary scares the crap out of me. Mitt wants Hillary is the way I see it.
Newt is correct.
Go Newt! Donald should use him at every opportunity.
Newt, generally speaking, is a liked and trusted Conservative.

Newt is learning a bit from Trump, tell.it like it is! Everybody sees it. But no one ever spoke up.
