GOP wonders: Is there a future with Trump? (behind the scenes at Romney conference)
thonline.com/AP ^

Posted on 06/12/2016 4:33:45 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Donald Trump can be an effective president, and he’s going to win with you or without you, Republican Chairman Reince Priebus told several hundred of the party’s top donors and strategists Saturday.

Trump is setting a dangerous example for Americans by promoting “trickle-down racism,” and the party must look beyond this presidential election to find its future, the 2012 nominee Mitt Romney told the same group later that morning.

Delivered within moments of each other at Romney’s annual business and politics summit at a five-star ski resort, those opposite messages were enough to cause whiplash. That’s a hazard of being a Republican this year, as the party struggles to figure out what to do with its controversial presumptive presidential nominee.

Blinking back tears as he spoke, an impassioned Romney said many have asked him to get off his “high horse” and back Trump, seeing presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as unacceptable. “Either choice is destructive,” Romney said. “I love this country. I love the founders. I love what this country is built upon, and its values. And seeing this is breaking my heart.”

Romney said he would not spend time campaigning for or against Trump and predicted 90 percent of Republicans would vote for Trump.

That's all this bitter-ender has been doing for the last month. Campaigning against Trump, that is.

Ping.

Blinking back tears as he spoke...

Romney is one deranged dude. He's more vocal against Trump (who supported him) than he was against Obama. He threw that election. What his tears are for is that the Illuminati have been defeated at the ballot box by their former voting fodder!

We will be changing our party affiliation after the election. We’re finished with the Republican Party!

Romney loves this country and the founders, it’s just the voters he hates.

Pray America wakes

In answer to the headlines question “GOP wonders: Is there a future with Trump?”

As the party is set up now, being RINO’s & beltway establishment types that flip off the voters, NO, no there is no future for such traitors.

Romney can blink back tears all he wants, the more the merrier. It sorta makes me feel good, reminds me of a WWII German citizen photographed after Hitler was defeated, tears in his eyes.

I was disheartened to see how dependent we are on Rush Limbaugh. Never-Trumps had a field day for a week and two weekends over practically nothing. Not even the mighty Mark Steyn could whip them in line despite his brilliance. He lacks Rush’s reputation.

The accusation is bass-ackwards — Trump FEARS a judge’s racism. And the judge IS a racist. Duh. There’s nothing racist about a realistic concern over someone else’s racism.

Black people would fear a klansman’s racism. Hispanics fear the alleged ‘racism’ of Minutemen. Islamics fear the ‘racism’ of US patriots. It’s ridiculous.

It's a lot easier to snipe from the sidelines than actually get into the fight.

Romney will knock it off soon because folks are apparently advising him that he is coming off as cowardly.

Romney tears are a lie and he is part of the rino movement and is as bad as the rino Ryan and the rino McConnell, as well as those who preach the lies of liberalism, the ungodly and pagans of the world system that will Christ Jesus must fight against because of the lie they live and breathe.

If there were no cameras or reporters around, W. Mitt Romney would be reduced to "vulture capital" plundering and/or cat fights over who is the coolest Mormon in the lunchroom.

Extra points for linking to the Telegraph Hairball (Eastern Iowa's most dependable Democrat/Agenda 21 mouthpiece).

No lie is of the truth. The racists of the left wing who deceive is no less then the racists of the right who pretend racism is an issue that republicans are guilty of while the hatred and lies of the left are the evil we conservatives endure daily. Slander is an great evil and many deceived people use slander to destroys lives.

Racism is a straw man fallacy. Romney knows full-well that Trump is not a racist.

That's an example of how irrational Romney has become when it comes to Trump.

He's gone off an emotional deep end.
