ACU Chairman: Mitt Romney Needs to 'Go Home and Be Quiet'

Mitt Romney devoted an entire speech back in March to attacking Donald Trump in an effort to steer conservatives away from the businessman. Since then, he’s continued hammering the real estate mogul on one issue after another, including Trump’s tax returns. Romney said earlier this week that Trump's refusal to release them was “disqualifying.”

“I don’t know what’s wrong with Mitt Romney. It’s so strange,” American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp said on Fox News. “He as a candidate didn’t even release his taxes until Harry Reid took to the floor and claimed that maybe he didn’t pay any income taxes at all, and now all of a sudden Mitt Romney is chastising Donald Trump for not releasing his taxes.”

He continued: “A lot of us voted for him [Romney]. I voted for him, I held my nose, he wasn’t a conservative, and now he thinks he’s channeling conservatives in attacking Donald Trump over this. You know what I’d like Mitt Romney to do? Go home and be quiet, or, start focusing on Hillary Clinton. She’s our political opponent.”

If Mitt Romney WAS THE LAST Republican on the planet I would NOT vote for him... or any of his hanger ons.

Romney makes Glenn Beck look sane.

By Trump calling Obama out ‘real time’, Trump is making the country more safe (real time as in ‘right now’).

Mitt is suffering from “McCain” syndrome...

If only Mitt had had the b**** to go after his opponent, Obama, w/ the same vitriol and aggressiveness he's going after a Republican. Shows what these guys are really about. These past Tweedle Dum / Tweedle Dee elections were all just kabuki theater. The GOPe was never serious about winning - they were comfortable with the status quo, which Trump now threatens.

By falsely going after someone’s tax returns, Romney and Reid have disqualified themselves from being Americans.

It’s all about keeping the Cheap Labor Express running.
They absolutely must prevent us from electing a President who upholds the law.
They have usually gotten the amnesty candidate they paid for from the RNC, but this year, Trump happened.
Their only option now is to get Hillary elected and they will do whatever it takes.

M. Romney keeps on lying. If he is this dishonest, it makes me wonder about how he made his money. His actions at times are not that of a rational person.

Look closely....Romney looks just a tad manic, scary and wild-eyed when he's all revved-up in his anti-Trump attacks in TV clips. His artificial, set, calm grin doesn't mesh with his grim words.

He's all het-up from some brain turmoil he's obviously experiencing.
