'Dismayed' Romney says he doesn't intend to back Trump, worried about 'demagoguery and populism'
Washington Examiner ^ | May 5, 2016 | Philip Klein

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.

Hey bud “Republicans” will be watching and if the GOPe don't fall in line and support Trump then it is over for the GOP.

Also, I wouldn't vote for Romney again even if he were running against Hillary. He is a traitor to the rank and file.

Poser Willard Romney imposed RomneyMarriage and RomneyCARE

and RomneyJudiciary (all Democrats).
and then he went after the Palin children
and Gov. Palin ....because he was jealous .... like now.

Poor jealous loser RINO Rat Romney,
when given the chance, he muffed like the
yellow, meddling, coward he is on his own planet.

It’s a one way street with the globalists. Americans must bow to their superiority and money.

I recall Romney did not seem to be choked up when his vulture capitalist company would load companies up with debt prior to spinning them off with so much debt it was pretty much sure they would collapse the first economic down turn that came along. Never seemed to bother him, but Trump, a man that was loyal to him does bother him. I suppose if you are not a Mormon it doe not bother him.

Say what you will about the Trump, but when he went bankrupt he went down with the companies

Now as to demagoguery, Romney id not really fight Obama. After he thought he won the first debate he took a powder instead of going in for the kill. He lost against a demagogue. If Trump wins, I am willing to give me a wee bit of room in how he does it.

Romney and his attitude is going to help Trump, except for in Utah, where it will hurt him.

On policy there is very little difference between a neocon (Romney/Bush) and a Rat (Hillary).

All neocons are Rats, they left the Rats party because the Rats were doves and neocons like wars, so all the Rat neocons joined the GOP and turned it into a warmongering progressive Rat lite party. Screw all neocons. We do not need or want neocons leading the GOP.

Obamacare should have been the big issue in 2012. So the Republican party took the list of every Republican in the country, sorted them by their ability to fight Obamacare and took the very worst one. No one could have done a worse job than the producer of Romneycare. But we were still told that we had to support him and that an abstention was a vote for Obama.

Please Jim Robinson, pull any thread about Romney.

He is butthurt that his stunt of bashing Trump was another Romney Flop. Trump supported this Chump and this is the thanks he gets.

Please Pull Romney threads, this is the first thing I see this morning, before my Coffee and it starts the day all wrong.

I agree Romney should be quiet and go away. But, we all know he isn’t over himself yet, so someone has to silence him.

Please pull Romney threads, he is shoving himself in our faces.

Probably, like many of us, held his nose, pulled the lever and swore it would be the last time. It was the last time.

Romney always was a jerk.

He’s gunning for the ‘jerkiest of all’ title.

What a waste of perfectly good oxygen.

The People of the Republican Party has chosen Trump. You of the Republican Party need to support the nominee or just LEAVE!

We will select a new Speaker of the House if need to be as well! We are very tired of the politics as usual of the Establishment people!

To hell with them! We have a Nation to fix!
