Mitt Romney said it is "too early" to say he will support President Trump in 2020.
The Utah candidate for U.S. senator further explained to MSNBC's Kasie Hunt, in an interview that aired Sunday evening, that his prior prediction that Trump will get re-elected was not an endorsement.
"I also think Gavin Newsom will get elected [as governor] in California. That's not something I want to see, it's just something that's probably going to happen," Romney added.
Romney was also prompted to speak about whether he wants a Republican to challenge Trump in a 2020 primary.
"There will be people who decide, I presume, to get in a Republican primary," he said in reply.
Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts who was the failed 2012 Republican presidential nominee, was a harsh critic of Trump during the 2016 election, calling him a "phony" and a "fraud," but the two appeared to put their differences aside as Romey was briefly considered by Trump to be his first secretary of state.
Sorry. I meant we don’t need his support anyway.
The Utah cult will sell out America as long as they are mormons
Only one word needs to be said here, “betrayal.”
Exactly.
This coward waited until after he secured the nomination before stabbing POTUS in the back.
Same here. I’m glad they both lost now. If either had won, we would not have had Trump.
He must be wetting his magic underwear to be getting so much attention.

That’s all most politicians crave. Romney, like McCain is addicted to seeking praise from the media and the way to do that is to bash republicans. The media only “likes” (they actually dispose) republicans who they can use as a large bat to throttle republicans.
They’d have to know, though, right? Only thing I can think is maybe they want someone like that. Maybe they want someone who is like McCain and will “stand up” to Trump.
Heck, it changed before it when he was on TV saying he wouldn’t be there supporting Trump all the time but would make his objections known “when” Trump says something “racist, anti-immigrant, or bigoted”.
I will work hard to stop him. If he gets the nomination somehow, he won’t get my vote.
FUMR
I can’t believe Utah fell for this asshole.
Does Romney even care about Utah or is he using it to get into the Senate?
He doesn’t care. He isn’t looking for your support. He’s looking for the support of the elites and the MSM. He’ll be CNN and MSNBC’s go to Republican.
In the unlikely event that Mitt Romney or his staff read this thread, do the right thing, endorse Trump and get on the MAGA train. Same goes for all centrist Republicans. Wake up and realize the danger posed by the alternative.
I would rather see a moderate centerist Dem elected rather than this idiot.He thinks he is John McCain.
Simple two step process for Mitt’s thinking:
1. Lick finger.
2. Extend finger upward, catching wind blow.
What a twit. If I had lived in Utah, I would have voted against him. Nasty hypocrite.
Ah, yeah. Some people will take anything with an ‘R’. That may have been true a generation ago. No mas.
That doesn’t look so good in hindsight.
