After criticizing Trump’s comments on the lewd video released last week, the 2012 nominee did not say who he would vote for, but said he thinks Trump has “maybe a 25% chance” of winning.
In a new interview, Mitt Romney says that he criticized Donald Trump’s 2005 comments about women last week because they were “so over the line” that they demanded an answer.
“I felt that I had to say something again to simply point out to the women of America, and to the men of America,” Romney said in a podcast interview with Ashcroft in America posted on Friday, “that we’re better than that and that this does not represent the quality or character of our country.”
In the interview, Romney talks at length about the 2012 Republican primary, the general election against President Obama (“It was not until election night that we recognized we were not going to win”), why he believes Republican voters nominated Trump, what the future holds for Republican Party as an institution, and how he thinks it’s likely that Hillary Clinton will win, but he doesn’t think “it’s impossible that Donald Trump wins,” saying he has a 25% chance.
“We’re conflicted as a people right now,” he said. “To a certain degree, we feel patriotism, pride in our country, [and] hope for the future. We’re family-oriented, God-fearing, hardworking people. On the other hand, there’s a growing stream of anger and resentment, defeatism, victimhood, and a lot of people are sort of torn in both ways. We have our better angels and our darker angels, if you will.”(continued)

Go the way of the WIGS, we hate you...
I think even with a Trump victory....the GOP is probably going to evolve into two parties within a very short period of time (four years is my guess). On one side will be the familiar GOP-RINO Party, and on the other side will be a state by state Deplorable Party (aka Tea Party and conservatives). It will generate a massive Democratic Party win in the Senate in 2020, but it’s likely to occur.
I’ll even suggest the obvious....that as this divide occurs....even the Democrats will undergo a split of some type....with the Green Party getting more votes, and some radicalized BLM/college agenda crowd also emerging as a party.
May a tidal wave surge through La Jolla and flush this piece of mitt into the Pacific Ocean.
You think Mitt is bad, you should see what his father did to Goldwater. Being a back stabbing, weak willed scumbag runs in the family.
Quothe Romney:
“The voters chose a person who is on the populist spectrum, who is more isolationist both in foreign policy and economic policy than has been the party’s tradition.”
Translation: The GOP is the extension of cheap labor express globalists. How dare Trump upset the apple cart.

Romney and the Mormon Fathers are sending money Beck’s way though.
The DC Republicans don’t give a crap about the American Middle class.

Purge the RINOs.
here, here....
TRUMP CAN WIN....STOP THE WHINING AND THE WORRYING....
VOTE...VOTE...VOTE...
said part of the problem...
A four party scenario is a best-case scenario—hope you are correct.
If Hillary wins we could be looking at a one party system—it would be some sort of fascist thing.
Trump loses I’m done. No fight in this party.
How about Romney leaves the GOP and sticks himself as a democrat! We will be fine without him. This dude acts like he owns the thing
“Thanks for pushing back against Candy Crowley, Mitt!”
Candida Crowley? She’s a disease!
Go To Hell Mitt Romney! Take The RINOs And GOPe With You! Nobody Cares About Your Worthless Opinion Either!
Romney means the uniparty.
Which we are going to purge out of the republican party.
Good.
Yes Mittens.... because of you, your Establishment buddies like “it’s my turn” Jebb, Paul Rino, John Song Bird McSlime, and Linda Graham.
