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:
While several of his competitors run in the opposite direction, Republican presidential candidate Ted

CRUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45th POTUS
Interesting. Of all GOP candidates so far, Trump and Cruz have impressed me the most with their speeches. May we have another “Reagan” this time.
Romney made the error! They are not Mexican-Americans!!!
They are Mexicans who are coming here illegally. Real Americans are just fed up with the job stealing and welfare chiseling. Those who have had enough will vote for Trump or the one who best reflects what Trump is saying.
Be warned!
Pretty much daily now I ask myself how these people ever managed to find, much less survive on FR without the most fundamental grasp of how civics/politics/voting actually works, but every day I find myself disappointed.
I have to wonder if they can even wipe properly because that’s a special level of stupid. How can someone embarrass themselves so readily to get a grade school taunt in? Baffling.
Bush, Rubio and Perry would get sliced and diced in the debates. Cruz and Trump are experts in slicing and diceing up the competition. Let the RINO milquetoasts exit stage left. Take Rand Paula, Goober Linda and Kristi Kreme with them too. Keep Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina for their expertise and inputs of value.
Huckster is ok as well as a bottom feeder keeper. IMHO
No Rubio Ever. No Bush Ever Again.
As for Romney, he’s already on the ash-heap of history. And good riddance.
Bush, Cruz, and Perry already disqualified themselves by saying that Obergefell is “the law of the land.” They are just confirming that they are afraid of the media and the Left. And Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.
Anyone criticizing Trump should drop out. Bush can return to his beloved Mexico and Rubio to Cuba. The others should think about spending more time with their families. At least Cruz realizes where the populist vote is. The others can pound sand as I’d vote for socialist Sanders or sit out before voting for their treasonous a%^*}^.

If Jebbers couldn’t save Terri Schiavo from the POS death ghouls (he stopped trying) how is he gonna save America from far worse? Answer—he can’t, won’t nor should we give him the chance. Time to prune back da Buuuuuuuuuuuuushies.
Vote for my candidate or I'll stick this knife in the outlet!
Now this reminds me of a cartoon I once saw where there was a creative writing class with about thirty students and a teacher. Twenty-nine of the students are staring at the teacher in rapt attention. The thirtieth is lounging in the back of the classroom snoring, fast asleep. “One day,” chimes the teacher, “one of you will be a great writer!”
Rubio is finished.
His poll numbers are crumbling.
If only they would. If only they would...
They seem to like doing it but if they would only listen for a change they would discover it feels really good when they stop. Gets conservatives in office to.
Of course thats the last thing a lesser evil wants. So ...CONTACT!
You know, Maybe we could just call them “Extra Crispies”. Because they have burned themselves so many times they are about charred black.
Amen brother!
Cruz is still un-intimidated. Truth is where you find it, he knows that, and defends it. Nice play.
We thought that once after the Gang of 8, but his adoring liberal GOP fans reanimated his corpse.
Uh Oh.
Bishop and degenerate cult leader MYTH WILLARD ROMNEY is cross.
Puy some ice on that Willard.
Illegal aliens are ALL criminals.
Trump said NOTHING about LEGAL MEXICAN-AMERICANS.
So piss off you planet moroni loving space cadet scumbag from a family of military service avoiding scumbags going back generations.
The only thing this disgusting piece of filth hasn't flip flopped on is his familys long standing tradition of avoiding serving in the US military.
He and Cruz are like modern gunslingers calling people out.
