Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney attacked real estate mogul and 2016 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday, telling a CNN reporter he thinks Trump’s remarks on illegal immigrants were a “severe error.”
“Do you think Donald Trump’s comments on Mexicans have hurt the Republican Party?” a reporter asked Romney in video carried on CNN on Saturday.
“Yes, I think he made a severe error in saying what he did about Mexican-Americans,” Romney replied. “And it’s unfortunate.”
“Do you think the candidates should speak up about that?” the reporter followed up.
“I think a number of them have,” Romney replied.

Yes he was. The GOPe want amnesty for illegals for cheap labor. Obama wants it for continuous Democrat votes and overwhelming the welfare system. (Cloward-Piven strategy) Trump is in a whirlwind because big money and a lot of power is involved here on both sides and Trump is exposing the dangers of what they are doing to America.
And that’s a GOOD thing!
I don’t hate Romney, I just hate sodomite marriage, Marxist medicine, and illegal immigration.
Jeb gave Hillary an award.
[[The GOPe want amnesty for illegals for cheap labor.]]
If so then that is absolutely asinine- because while cheap labor will help some busiensses, it will end up costing us FAR more- some estimates as much as 200 billion a year from all the illegal activities by illegals, paying htem welfare, paying their prison fees, paying for the damage they do by drunk driving (they kill 15 people a day driving illegally and driving drunk) etc etc etc-
I’m no trump supporter EXCEPT on this issue! He NEEDS to expose the GOP-e and the liberals for the LIARS that they are and he NEEDS to get the message out loud and clear that illegal aliens ARE costing us 100’s of billions of dollars EVERY YEAR!
75% of illegals do NOT work when they get here- they go immediately on welfare- some to the tune of $45,000 a year- and those who are in prison cost an average of $70,000 a year PER PRISONER I believe
The public is unaware of just how big a problem illegal immigration really is- they think every Mexican that comes into this country illegally is just a refugee who really wants to work hard and support their family- and NOTHING could be further from the truth- the VAST majority of them do NOT want to work hard and support their family- they want to rob us blind!
Those that do want to work hard to support their families can apply for citizenship- just like EVERY legal Naturalized immigrant had to do! Don’t like the rules? Stay the hell out!
[[Do you honestly believe that Romney would have been any different?]]
I’m no Romney supporter- can’t stand the guy myself- but yes, he would have been slightly better- He would not have gotten away with a fraction of the crap the current _resident has because the MSM and the Supreme court would never have allowed it- Simply because he falsely has an R after his name
Statistics like this bore the American people; they don’t frighten them at all. Diversity is the American game now.
Maybe HRC and return the favor before November 2016.
You’re right- however, trump still needs to get the facts out there and expose what the left and the gop-e are doing-
Perhaps he could couple it with something along the linesof “And this ladies and gentlemen is why your pocketbooks are much lighter these days, because the government has increased your taxes to pay for the financial mess that illegals are causing us- if you want to keep paying higher and higher taxes to support illegals then by all means vote democrat- if you want to put a stop to the nonsense AND give illegals a LEGAL path to citizenship, then vote for me”
“Trump donated to Hillary.”
Considering Reagan was a democrat once, John Wayne was a communist once and let me not forget that Hitlery was working for the Republicans once, someone changing horses in the middle of the stream does not necessarily mean they are not true to their new cause.
Trump is saying what needs to be said. He has a very big ego, and I do not think he will go back on his word. He knows how to get things done. He’s making the dems, RINO’s, MSM and all the other Uniparty wings very uneasy.
If he gets the nomination I have no qualms over voting for this guy.
Trump speaks the truth. RINGS and Democrats recoil like vampires to a Crucifix.
I’ll respond to that. Quoting Rush, “Right on, right on!”
My new nickname for Trump is “Scrapper.” lol!
“Yes, I think he made a severe error in saying what he did about Mexican-Americans,” Romney replied. “And it’s unfortunate.”
I want Trump, Cruz and Walker to become a tag-team, especially at the debates.
Speak no ill of each other but strike hard against Jeb! and the other GOPe favorites.
A pact among three hard men. An agreement to form the ticket according to polling position ... Pres/VP/a major cabinet position
No more splitting the primary votes among a large field of conservatives so the likes of Jeb! can become the nominee.
Two standing down and supporting the other to become the nominee and carry all three into office.
That statement came from a “severe conservative too!” (lol!....)
Battle lines care being drawn...
He was not taling about Mexican-Americans...he was talking about ILLEGAL ALIENS. I am seriously thinking of leaving this ridiculous Republican party.
