Doesn't sound like Trump was "holding his nose" back in '12. But, your definition of "holding nose" probably means different things in different years. Sort of like Trump's belief system. A fraud.

Yes Mitt makes Trump look like William F Buckley. :-)
I'm not sure what the original poster thought, but treating past nominees civilly is a good thing (yes, even McCain, if you must.) As long as his healthcare plan looks nothing like Romneycare, this is fine.
Romney is at worst slightly left of center of the American political spectrum (and is more likely slightly to the right). Anonymous posters on FR can afford to be purists and despise all non-purists. Presidential candidates can't.
Even the photos with Bill amd Hillary are OK. I would expect most citizens to get their photo taken with the president if they have the opportunity, whether or not they dislike their politics. I do have issues with some of Trump's fairly recent support for and agreement with 'Rats, but this photo gotcha game is annoying.
Your analysis is spot on. Trump is no conservative. He may destroy the establishment, but he is no conservative.
I think Romney must have a streak of sore loser and is taking it out on Trump who had nothing to do with it. Maybe he's even jealous. You never know. I'm not sure what's in it for him by supporting the corrupt party bosses.
“Mitt is a blood-sucking statist ... and so is Donald Trump”
Yuk-Yuk
Great post. As a social conservative who has been accused of being part of the establishment by some Trump supporters here I wholeheartedly agree with your post.
"Yep...Romney the choke-like-a-dog snake attacks Trump, now...but glady accepted his support and $$ for his own Prez run.Thanks for posting those pics.....as a reminder of the above.
#OnlyTrump #NoMoreChokers"
Give me a break. Even I voted for Mittens. It was imperative to defeat Obama.
Doesn't mean 4 years later, considering that the remainder of the Republican field couldn't beat Trump, much less win in the general election, means that Trump is a liberal.
That's fine with me. Movement conservatives have produced squat since 1994. I want someone who will put America first for a change.

“Your analysis is spot on. Trump is no conservative. He may destroy the establishment, but he is no conservative.”
And too many are too focused on destroying the establishment that they don’t stop to think what else may get destroyed.
I don’t shed any tears for the GOPe. They did this to themselves and now they are actually looking at Cruz, a man they also hate,as a barrier against Trump.
Greta on FOX called Romney dirty and at least once previously criticized Romney for making unfounded allegations. I hope he is not entering the race. Although he is better than Hillary or Obama, that is not saying much.
Mitt not conservative, Trump not conservative... No difference really. One is just honest about it...
“Doesn’t mean 4 years later, considering that the remainder of the Republican field couldn’t beat Trump, much less win in the general election, means that Trump is a liberal.”
I would have a lot of respect for trumpster divers if they just be honest with themselves and admit that they are supporting a populist progressive. Why pretend anything else? If you are proud of Trump, why hide a YUUUUGE part of him — a New York progressive populist.
Donald Trump is no Conservative either.
Thanks for illustrating what a back stabbing RINO Romney is ... you’ve done well tonight , keep up the good work ...
And neither are you. Anyone supporting you is blinded by your blarney.
Mitt is , Trump is not ...
