Mitt Romney isn’t running for President, but that isn’t stopping him from commenting about the people who are, especially one guy named Donald Trump:
Mitt Romney said Saturday that Donald Trump’s comments on Mexico and undocumented immigrants have hurt the Republican Party, making the 2012 presidential nominee the latest Republican to slam the billionaire over his controversial remarks.
Romney made his remarks during a Fourth of July parade in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, which was also attended by presidential candidates New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
Asked if Trump’s comments on Mexicans have hurt the Republican Party, Romney replied, “Yes.”
“I think he made a severe error in saying what he did about Mexican-Americans,” Romney said.
And when he was asked if Republican candidates should be speaking out about Trump’s comments, Romney said, “I think a number of them have.”
He was referring to the handful of 2016 Republican hopefuls, most notably former New York Gov. George Pataki, who have slammed Trump over his remarks, in which he referred to some Mexican immigrants as “rapists” and “killers.”
Pataki isn’t alone in criticizing Trump anymore, though. Just in the past several days Jeb Bush has called Trump’s remarks “extraordinarily ugly,” Marco Rubio has called then “offensive” and “divisive,” former Texas Governor Rick Perry said he was offended by Trump’s remarks and that Trump does not represent the Republican Party, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has also joined in the criticism of Trump’s remarks. So far, in fact, the only Republican candidate who has had anything positive to say about Trump is Ted Cruz:

RINOS are puppets.
CRUZ TO THE TOP!
THAT’S IT! TED CRUZ JUST LOST MY VOTE! AGAIN!
Thank GOD we sent Republicants to DC! THANK GOD!!!
These clowns really believe the media/Dems will be nice to them. How utterly pathetic.
I may vote for Trump just to tick off the GOPe.
They seem to hate this man
They seem to be spineless cajone less people who are useless.

I'm still not going to vote for Trump no matter how many endorsements he gets.
actually, the a$$kissing brigade is making it real easy for me to narrow down the field to Cruz/Fiorina!
“the clowns”
The Three Amigos
In Trump’s interview from Newsmax he tore into Romney as well saying he blew the election in 2012 when it was a slam dunk to beat Obama. Trump didn’t have accolades for Karl Rove either saying the candidates Rove supported in 2012 took a bath as well. Trump is no wilting flower and will fight back.
Hillary and her fellow Marxists will be happy to hear that.
Backstabber Romney has used BAIN (home of Gov Devil Patrick)
and promises, and his palms (per the Herald), to
convince the GOP’s Mr. Donut and Rubio (not NBC) to attack
Mr. Trump and Sen. Cruz.
Why?
Same reason the Bishop Romney used to attack Gov Palin
and her children on the eve of Election 2008.
To ensure a DNC/Soros victory.
Unh hunh. Will they be happy to hear that I’m voting for Ted Cruz?
That grade school bull crap of yours doesn’t cut it with me.
Maybe you should try it on Norm! LOL
Teh Stupids. you can’t fix it. Just point and mock.
“Mommy, Hillary is all TigersEye’s fault!!!”
They should move their messages closer to Trump's. Americans are just waiting for: 1. the right candidate with 2. the right message. Trump has one; Rubio has one; Cruz has nearly both; Jeb is zero.
I had no use for any of those three long before this election campaign began.
