Park City, Utah (CNN) — Mitt Romney suggested Friday that Donald Trump's election could legitimize racism and misogyny, ushering in a change in the moral fabric of American society.
The 2012 Republican nominee, who has openly opposed Trump's candidacy, went further than he has before in outlining to CNN's Wolf Blitzer how the country's character would suffer in a Trump White House. Trump's rhetoric has caused even some other Republicans to label him a racist, and Romney said he would not be able to paper over his incendiary remarks.
"I don't want to see trickle-down racism" Romney said in an interview here in a suite overlooking the Wasatch Mountains, where he is hosting his yearly ideas conference. "I don't want to see a president of the United States saying things which change the character of the generations of Americans that are following. Presidents have an impact on the nature of our nation, and trickle-down racism, trickle-down bigotry, trickle-down misogyny, all these things are extraordinarily dangerous to the heart and character of America."
Romney, who actively sought to recruit an independent, third-party challenger to Trump, also conceded that a credible candidate will not emerge. But he did show a new openness to one non-Trump candidate, libertarian Gary Johnson, whom he did not rule out voting for.

This guy Romney, he’s a real comedian. Gives me a consolation for not voting him every time he acts like leftist. Just sucks Obama has proven to far worse than I thought. He has gotten away with more than I imagined he could having a Pubby Congress. Of course it didn’t help that the GOP refused to even put up token resistance.
Romney has been wearing the same pair of magic underwear too long.
I voted for him despite his obvious inadequacies, he lead us down the path to defeat. For him to aid and abet the opposition like this is plainly perverse.
Do Mormons accept blacks yet? Mitt, Mitt the Hypocrite
He is not just a loser. The jerk is a Quisling. Sorry I voted for this ahole. What a jackass.
Obama was surprised and almost shocked at how miserable a candidate Mitt was.
Go away, Mitt. And this time, stay away. That’s quite a pantsload.
Fk Romney. He turned out to be some POS. Can’t wait til karma comes his way.
Man, he’s a pathetic whoring tool.
Bishop Romney is a poison pawn.
Is Romey prepared to call out this judge for racism? The judge is in the mixican KKK La Raza — Or “THE RACE”. Why is Romney not calling out the CRIMINAL hillary or her serial adulterer and rapist husband? Romney is very bitter that 13 million voters destroyed the old establishment of which he was a hand puppet. I have no respect for this sniveling coward.
Wolf Blitzer, the Clinton butt kisser, and Mitt Romney, the favorite “failed, political witch”, to be slapped by CNN’s Candy crowley!!! What a pair of losers!!! End of story!!!
Clearly this is an organized effort to take the man down.
Maybe you can schedule some appointments with Dr. Phil and get a discount rate. But, you need professional help.
You have had 5 chances to get into the race this cycle and you declined. That was your choice, so stop with the sour-grapes whine. It is very unbecoming.
Before I became a Trump supporter, I couldn’t even spell ‘misogyny.’
My gosh, Romney, SHUT UP YOU FOOL!
But more blacks support Trump than Romney... Time to call out Romney for being a Globalist.
Did he say anything at all about Hillary?
Is he fine with her?
Senility is setting in at an early age for ole Mitt.
Mormon romney is the last person to be lecturing anyone on racism.
