(Loser) Mitt Romney: Donald Trump is a 'phony, a fraud'
CNN ^ | March 3, 2016 | By Catherine Treyz

Posted on 03/03/2016 3:40:22 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney thinks "Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud" and that he's "playing the American public for suckers," according to prepared remarks provided by Romney to CNN.

According to the former Massachusetts governor, "the only serious policy proposals that deal with the broad range of national challenges we confront have come from Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich."

Romney is expected to remark on some what-ifs about Trump becoming president. "His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president," Romney is expected to say.

Romney will also touch on a "twisted example of evil trumping good: "Trump's claims that he admires Russian President Vladimir Putin while calling "George W. Bush a liar."

But Trump was Mitt’s best buddy when Trump endorsed him 4 yrs. ago. There is no bottom to Mitt Romney’s low. None.

I’m almost glad he lost.

Virtually all the points Mitt said against Trump are true of Mitt.

I’m sure Trump supporters will flee Trump after hearing “Mittens” tell them they are stupid for backing him.He doesn’t understand he is part of the problem that resulted in the groundswell support for The Donald.

.. this is a coordinated and direct attack on the GOP front-runner by the GOP ..

Exactly.

What do you think Mittens' reward will be?

There was no reason for GWB to be so beholden to the elites, but it was the elites who “made his day”. Barbara likes the elites too.

ROFL. The establishment picked the worst possible person to deliver this message.


You’ve got to remember the establishment pushed Jeb to be the nominee. These folks are so clueless.

Mittens once summoned up enough of a pair of berries to claim there was something amiss about Hillary and Benghazi, etc. At the very FIRST sign of kickback, he clammed up like a scared puppy in a lightning storm, never to come out again.

He would have made a very good French Soldier.

Right. And Cruz supporters will post hundreds of times all the Romney articles that they can find at Huffington Post and National Review.

And then they will say that their garbage proves that Trump is not a real conservative.

Notice that they didn't even try using Romney as a spokesman in MA. Romney couldn't even win his own state in 2012!

I'll never get past the impression that Romney was following marching orders. Do whatever it takes to defeat conservatives for the nomination, then throw the election to Obama.

It's becoming more imperative, every day, every vile establishment maneuver, that Trump gets the nomination.

More from AP: “His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University.” He charged that Trump “has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president.”

Romney calls this moment a “time for choosing” that will “have profound consequences for the Republican Party and more importantly, for the country.”

Romney argues that Trump’s “domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe.” “And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill.”

“A phony and a fraud and playing the American people for suckers.”

Well Williard, it takes one to know one. That’s a good self-description.

You never had such a terrible thing to say about Obama and you reserve that for a fellow Republican.

His success only reminds you of your failure and that’s why you’ve broken your silence.

You don’t deserve a hearing much less than the time of day from the American people.

They emphatically rejected you four years ago. Oh the arrogance!

Story about Mitt: He blew off about 500 supporters for a scheduled visit in Quakertown PA in May 2012. The reason was a “hostile reception”. The hostile reception was a busload of loser takers from Philly. What. a. pussy. Based on this I did not vote for him writing in Rick Perry.

Mitt you are a pussy and a RINO. You spent more time and resources fighting conservatives than the real enemy: liberal progressive Obama zombies. Thus SIERRA TANGO FOXTROT UMBRELLA

Milt thinks he is the ‘top dog’ of those who believe themselves to be our ‘Red England overlords’.
