'Dismayed' Romney says he doesn't intend to back Trump, worried about 'demagoguery and populism'

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.

Now I am kinda glan he lost—These comments tell us he would have been a terrible president—a give in to Democrats at every turn sort of president. To say this about another Republican says it all-—Watch as he supports Hillary.. Going to feel this way Mittens—Go join the Dimmycrats!

This election was always going to be all about populism.

That die was cast when the two polar opposite ends of our political spectrum (the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street) agreed on one and ONLY one thing.

DO NOT bail out the Wall Street banks with taxpayer money!

The Beltway elites did it anyway. You just knew that once an incumbent was not on the ticket all hell was gonna break loose.

So it’s a choice between Trump’s right-leaning populism and Bernie’s populist socialism. Going back to conservatism as we know it is NOT an option. The bridge has been burnt with too many voters. The GOP had three decades, and couldn’t close the sale.

The GOP had three decades [to sell conservatism], and couldn’t close the sale.

They...never...even...tried.

Exactly. But Romney is not worried about Obama and Hillary destroying this country?

Turn the page. Isn’t it great that the #neverTrumpers hang signs around their necks?

Americans voted for the RAT Romney to try to save America
after the backstabber removed all the conservatives.
But it was a Romney ruse, for Obama, for Soros,
as when the RAT Romney attacked the Palin family.

This is the Romney payback to Americans for
supporting the RAT Romney, a saboteur knife in the back
of all Americans. How Romney is that?
