Donald Trump can be an effective president, and he’s going to win with you or without you, Republican Chairman Reince Priebus told several hundred of the party’s top donors and strategists Saturday.

Trump is setting a dangerous example for Americans by promoting “trickle-down racism,” and the party must look beyond this presidential election to find its future, the 2012 nominee Mitt Romney told the same group later that morning.

Delivered within moments of each other at Romney’s annual business and politics summit at a five-star ski resort, those opposite messages were enough to cause whiplash. That’s a hazard of being a Republican this year, as the party struggles to figure out what to do with its controversial presumptive presidential nominee.

Blinking back tears as he spoke, an impassioned Romney said many have asked him to get off his “high horse” and back Trump, seeing presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as unacceptable. “Either choice is destructive,” Romney said. “I love this country. I love the founders. I love what this country is built upon, and its values. And seeing this is breaking my heart.”

Romney said he would not spend time campaigning for or against Trump and predicted 90 percent of Republicans would vote for Trump.

I think .... ROMNEY & Ryan whining and turning blue, go away with this mass shooting in Orlando.

These summer massacres are going to cause an “All Aboard” to be sounded for the TRUMP TRAIN.

The summer has not even begun, either.

Romney said... “I love this country. I love the founders. I love what this country is built upon, and its values.

Except for the Bibllcal truth part.
