Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, said Sunday that there are "more productive ways" to fight President Obama's immigration executive actions than shutting down the government.
Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," Romney was asked about the possibility of shutting down the government to fight the actions.
"Well, I think there's got to be more productive ways for us to be able to impress on the president the need to work for a permanent solution, as opposed to a temporary stop-gap solution," Romney replied.
Obama should allow Congress a chance to pass legislation on immigration, Romney said.
"Let those people who were elected come together with a piece of legislation on this and other topics, and then he has a chance to veto them if he doesn't like them," he said. "But the idea of violating the principles of our Constitution, which is a balance of power, checks and balances, that is something which is wrong, and I think would not be to the president's benefit."
He said that after major Republican gains on Election Day, Obama needs to listen to voters.
"The president has got to learn that he lost this last election round," Romney said. "The American people spoke loud and clear."
Romney's name has been mentioned as a possible presidential contender in 2016, despite his denials, but he was not asked about the possibility on Sunday.
But if I don’t vote for him in 2016 I want Hillary to win! /RINOLUV

“The president has got to learn that he lost this last election round,” Romney said. “The American people spoke loud and clear.”
If you had learned anything from last election, it should’ve been how to shut up.
with a mush one gets mush.
Romney - STFU. GO away.
Liar Bishop Romney
(imposer of ObamaCARE/DeathCARE/GruberMed)
LOST his election and .... should go away.
But Loser Romney will not.
The perpetual backstabber of children and women never does.
Since when does a loser hold sway in the Republican party?
What can we do? take a page from the Progressives. A General Strike—all businesses shut down, close all government buildings. Massive demonstartions at White House. Rememebr what the People of Egypt did to the Moslim Brotherhood? If 60 million Americans marched—things would change.
It can’t get much worse than this! And I still know some holdouts that would do it all over again.
LOL
