Romney touts Cruz wins over Trump, will not reject GOP nod if drafted at convention
Fox News ^ | 03/06/16

Posted on 03/06/2016 10:00:19 AM PST by Enlightened1

Mitt Romney said Sunday that GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz winning two primary states this weekend proves the Texas senator can stop front-runner Donald Trump, but declined to rule out his own White House scenario.

Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and the Republicans' 2012 presidential nominee, repeated remarks from last week, telling “Fox News Sunday” that he wouldn’t launch an eleventh-hour campaign for president. But he declined to reject being “drafted” at the GOP convention in July to be the party’s general election candidate.

“It would be absurd to say that if I were drafted I’d say no,” Romney said. “We have four strong people running for the nomination. One of them will be the nominee.”

Romney has occasionally weighed in on the 2016 GOP race. But he emerged in full force Thursday when he gave a speech in which he called Trump a “phony” and urged voters to instead back an establishment candidate like Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio or Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

GOPe is threatening to VOID the Will of its Voters.

If Mitt Romney gets nominated, then Hillary will be elected.

The GOPe rather see Hillary Clinton in office than Trump or Cruz.

Romney never fought for anyone whose name wasn’t Romney.

Nope. If Mitt Romney steals the nom, then Trump will beat the GOP for the second time in a year.

Yet, I will ALWAYS reject Choker Willard... and not just because he is in a cult.

I don’t even bother calling them GOPe anymore. They are Democrat operatives. What needs to happen is someone has to regain control of that party, maybe Cruz or Trump, and kick these operatives the hell out. This is bulls—t, it really is. Imagine if conservatives infiltrated the Democrap party and started pushing conservative values, they’d get their butts kicked out in the street in two seconds flat.
