Former Republican nominee Mitt Romney said earlier this month he thought Donald Trump could win the presidency, citing Hillary Clinton’s high unfavorable numbers and the unpredictability of the race.

Romney was speaking with Republican consultant Mike Murphy’s Radio Free GOP podcast released two weeks ago when he made the comments.

“You have to give Donald Trump credit, he was able to bring a rhetoric and a style that he had perfected over his career to the political sphere and connect with people and become the nominee,” Romney said. “Despite the fact that I and a lot of other people thought he would not be an ideal nominee, he is. At this stage, it’s rougher going, but I can’t predict what’s gonna happen.”

“To be honest, it’s very possible in my view that Trump wins,” continued Romney. “I wouldn’t think it’d be by a landslide, but I think he could win. I think he could lose, I think he could lose by a landslide. But, I don’t know which it’s going to be and a lot of that depends on what happens to Hillary Clinton. Is there meltdown moment, or some implosion of some kind?”

Didn’t this ass just say a couple days ago that he won’t vote for Trump?

The more it looks like Trump might win, the more these weasels are going to try to weasel their way back into the good graces of the Republican Party.

I thought this sleazy bastar*d Romney had gone to grab frogs with jeb.

[Farmer Dean]

The thought of being locked out of the White House for 8 years has changed Romney’s tune.

[oblomov]

It just seems prudent to include the possibility of a meltdown.

Romney melted down (lost his nerve) when he did not finish off Obama after the first debate.

Backstabber of the Century, RAT Romney does it both
ways. Support from the North of his head; and
stoking Erickson and his other bedmates from the south.

Well Mitt, if the party screws around and gives the election to the witch, IMHO the party is DEAD.

The kiss of death.

Wow, really going out on a limb there, Mittens. The new Nostradamus!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That explains why he’s so pissed.

[bigbob]

Just. Shut. Up. Mitt.
