Donald Trump’s top adviser Paul Manafort said Sunday that former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is a “coward” for not throwing his hat into this year’s GOP primary race.

"He's now attacking this past weekend all the other Republicans who ran for president as well saying they should have done a better job,” Manafort, Trump’s campaign chair and chief strategist, said on ABC's "This Week." Well, if he feels that way he should have run. He was a coward.”

Speaking to a crowd at his annual summit in Utah yesterday, Romney appeared emotional when he explained why he could not back Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee....

If only you had been running Trump’s campaign he’d be winning by now!

Oh, wait. He is, and you weren’t.

There’s some dots there. Try to connect them. If you are capable.

So your campaign is having trouble with women because of the un-presidential behavior and this is how the campaign continues. I can not stand Romney but this was just another off-putting move.
Is there no one in Trump’s campaign that actually understands how talk or better yet ignore yapping dogs like Romney? Why give him the time of day at this time? Your guy won! Go on to the real opponent do not give Romney the time of day!


Romney is at war with Trump. You suggest Trump turns the other cheek while Romney campaigns to deny him donor funds, gaslights his campaign and calls him a racist?

Mitt Romney and his brand of globalist Anti-American Republicanism needs to be utterly destroyed. This is an existential threat to our Republic and you referring to him as “yapping dog” shows you have need to buy a clue. Good luck, FRiend.

I never thought I would see somebody hate America as much as Barack Obama but here we have Mitt Romney campaigning for Hillary and her SCOTUS picks. Only somebody who truly hates the people of this country would wish that on us.

Republicans lose when they don’t fight back.

Trump has made a few whiffs but this one was a well-deserved hit.

Romney is the kind of heedless, simpering trans-dem who lost us five out of the last six popular votes for the presidency.

If he is going to campaign as a democrat then he deserves to be swatted down as one.

It was pretty easy to vote for Romney in 2012; how much easier it will be for Trump in 2016.

Because unanswered attacks from enemies — remember Dubya? — results in things like homobama.

Dems have been answering every attack against them, which is why they now — for the time being — control the world.

If you don’t want the good guys to control the world, well, just continue your ostrich behavior.

The rest of us are gonna fight.

He proved his cowardice when he took a dive in the 2012 election.
= = = = = = = = = = =
Actually it goes back further than that...

Before he was Gov of Mass he was running for the Senate against Teddy the Swimmer and had a decent lead a couple of weeks before the election (Probably not big enough to overcome the ‘D’ Machine tho) but at a last minute ‘debate’ he morphed into Kennedy, Lost the election and ended up Gov of MA....hmmmmmmm

Willard ‘the rat’ Romney didn’t want to be President, he even said so, his oldest son told us all that when he was running against Hussein...then Willard ‘the rat’ Romney came out and told us he didn’t need the 47% of the American people, so he didn’t get them, and he lost...

Now he’s crying, well tough, deal with it LOOSER!!!

Romney, Jeb and others all expected ESTABLISHMENT PRIVILEGE.

Those who attack white privilege don’t realize that 90% of what they see as white privilege exists only in the establishment and Blacks in the establishment have just as much of that establishment privilege as whites. But, of course, the establishment whites keep the number of establishment Blacks to a token.

IMO, Romney is so upset because the serfs won’t vote for the king. He doesn’t hate Trump. He hates US.
