Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, said at a dinner in Washington on Thursday night that he had no intention of supporting presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, and said he was "dismayed" by what he saw as a drift toward "demagoguery and populism" in both parties.

Spoilt brat. The guy sure fights harder against other GOPers than the Democrats. How many million of us held our nose to vote for this loser and he shows his appreciation by shoving our faces in ***t.

Romney had the GOP nomination, and he LOST.

He needs to step aside, and be quiet. For real.

Hey Wilma, hope your journey to female goes well! Tell Target we said hi!

Zip it Mitt. You had your chance and didn’t even try hard enough to break a sweat.

Romney is dismayed that we might actually elect a President who stops the Cheap Labor Express.

Go away choke artist.

[Donglalinger]

The one time Presidential candidate for the Republican party supports Hillary, that says a lot.

[Lisbon1940]

Did Trump vote for Romney?

Someone tie him to the roof of a station wagon and drive him back to Massachusetts.

He is an enemy of America, period.

Guess he does not care about the unsustainable debt or the Supreme Court appointments.

[Lopeover]

Who cares what you think anymore. You fought Trump harder than you fought against Obama in your own campaign. Go away.

[Chgogal]

What a bunch of nonsense! You are exactly correct. Romney is a ridiculous character and worse a Loser. Americans hate losers. I despise this man and his little minion Ryan too.

[Tammy8]

I think that is the real reason for most of those that refuse to support Trump.

[mulligan]

Poor loser and selfish as well.

[goodwithagun]

Pots, kettles, and all that.

“Spoilt brat. The guy sure fights harder against other GOPers than the Democrats. How many million of us held our nose to vote for this loser and he shows his appreciation by shoving our faces in ***t.”

I voted for Romney though I had strong doubts about him.

Obama should have been easy to beat in 2012. The Democrats got killed in 2010 and 2014.

Romney refused to articulate any principles or communicate the many failings of the Obama administration.

He lost big when he should have won. I think on purpose.

Did Trump vote for Romney?

Yes, Trump endorsed Romney and donated to Romneys' campaign.

[BlackAdderess]

I was just watching CNN and John Avlon (editor in chief?? Daily Beast) just characterized siding with the voters vs Ryan and the Washington cartel as “drinking the kool-aid”.

Yo Milt blast off.
