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.
Johnson's running mate is another former Massachusetts governor, Bill Weld, who once fundraised for Romney. If the ticket was flipped and Weld was the standard-bearer, Romney said he would have no qualms about voting for the libertarian ticket this fall.

Hmmm,, Trickle down Americanism or Trickle down Tyranny??
Let’s see Bishop Romney go to Breitbart or Daily Caller or Drudge or some other non-loon leftist or even Bret Baier and explain exactly wtf he’s talking about. He sounds like Black Lives Matter with this bullcrap. Trickle down misogyny my a$$.
I suspect that they will break off into their own tiny little liberal Republican party.
This from a man who is a ranking member of the most racist church in American history. This man thinks Brigham Young was a prophet of his God. Look up his statements on the black race.
“Trickle down misogyny my a$$.”
...maybe the Bishop and future God of Planet Kolob is upset because Trump won’t legalize sister-wives...
Romney is the one that pissed off half of the country with 47% statement.
Agree!
Hey nitwitmitt, his much is McConnell and the boys paying you to be an azzwipe?...loser!
Romney! shut the xxxx up, you milktoast failure!
I missed the news story of Romney joining the Clinton campaign!!!
We’ve been seeing “Trickle down racism” for the last 8 years.
They’re using the Thad Cochran playbook to try to make Trump lose to Hillary. That’s how much they like controlling America.
Mitt apparently wasn't at all concerned about the danger to our nation posed by the trickle-down socialism and trickle-down islamism of an Obama Presidency when he donned the kid gloves and then surrendered like a dhimmi during the '12 campaign.
Romney and Ryan are giving the Presidency a second run, this time as part of Team Clinton.
Open borders. Islamic refugees. No nasty racists.
What’s not to like?
Maybe we can flood Janesville with the 3rd world immigrants that Ryan prefers to Americans.
They’ll elect a Democrat.
Those have been rewritten by church elders...
Will he do something about Muslims and also secure the border and stop this invasion?
Then I don’t give a damn what you call it!
Like father, like son.
“Oh Willard, your daddy would be so proud!”
Wasn’t Willard an Anchor Baby?
That ain’t no NBC neither too. hmmpff!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
