Exclusive -- Donald Trump to Mitt Romney: Don't Even Think About Running Again
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | October 22, 2014 | Matthew Boyle

Real estate mogul and conservative provocateur Donald Trump has a concise, clear message for 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney: You “blew it” in the last election, so don’t even try to run for president again.

“No. I don’t think he should run. He had his chance and he blew it,” Trump told Breitbart News during a phone interview on Tuesday. “He had a great chance of winning. He should have won. That was an election that frankly should have been a much easier election than the probable 2016 candidate Hillary. That was an election that should have been won by the Republicans."

"Whether it was his consultants, I read all different concepts. I’ve read all different views on what happened. But whether it was him or his consultants, he blew it," he continued. "He had a tremendous advantage against a president who had done very poorly and now has done worse, and that was really a race that was easier than beating Hillary.”

Trump said he carried that message—that Romney shouldn’t run again—to Iowa last weekend when he campaigned for and raised funds for Iowa’s Rep. Steve King (R-IA) and his re-election campaign.

“They did close to $100,000 and I’m really happy about that,” Trump said of the King fundraiser. “Steve King is a terrific guy. I got to know Steve when I was in New Hampshire and making a speech. He was there and I love him. He and I just hit it off. He’s someone I respect. He and I have similar views on many different subjects. He’s somebody who really loves the country."(continued)

Everyone to Donald Trump: Shut up, already.

Remember Trump’s big ‘October surprise’ in 2012, that ended up just being him offering a donation to charity in exchange for something, something birth certificate?

Completely agreed.

Romney you had your run. You were who I settled upon last time around, after Palin dropped out.

You were our nominee. And you lost.

Romney you lost. However you could work to bring back American businesses. That would be a good thing for you to work on.

No? Since when does knowing Trump is a loudmouth idiot mean one likes Romney?

When I want to hear from an idiot who has twice declared bankruptcy I’ll ask him.

Thank God we didn’t elect Romney. Imagine how terrible this country would be. We got what we asked for.

Backstabber Romney is the REASON Obola won TWICE.

Shame on Romney and anyone who supported the imposer
of ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE and gaymarriage/polygamy.

Agree! The only time Mitt even put up a pretense of a campaign was against Republican conservative candidates in the primaries. After he got the nomination, he made a concerted effort to LOSE! NEVER again.

2012 was Romney’s to lose and he did.

He pulled defeat out of the jaws of victory when he started cowering after the ‘Get the transcript, Candy’ moment in the 2nd debate.

No bushes— nor romneys— no christies. WE DEMAND A CONSERVATIVE!!! Then if you are a rino you can have that crammed down your throat or stay home. NO DAMNED Liberal CRAP HEAD RINOS!! NONE!!

I actually do; I have zero faith that the Republican party would hold his feet to the fire when they can't be bothered to actually oppose their opposition. — Moreover, if he did hand out exemptions like his cheerleaders were saying, that would effectively give the office of the President the ability to extort the states: You'll do what I say or your exemption gets pulled!

I second that — I'll vote third-party before a statist with an (R) on his name.
