Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney plans to bash Donald Trump in a speech Thursday, according to excerpts of the speech being passed around social media.
In quoted remarks released by Bloomberg Politics editor Mark Halperin, Romney calls Trump "a phony, a fraud."
"He's playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat," Romney is expected to say.
Romney, who recently has been publicly critical of Trump's campaign, announced Thursday's speech on Wednesday at the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.

Remember Cruzers...Ted Cruz is going to EMBRACE and DEFEND Mitt Romney.
Romney gave us Obama via his pitiful campaign designed to lose. He should be doing nothing but apologizing whenever he shows up in public.
Romney's about to get Trumped.
I don’t understand who would even go to see this speech.
“Hey mom, I just got tickets to a Mitt Romney speech!”
He’s dead to me. He should have electorally destroyed Obama but it was clear he didn’t really want to be a winner.
Trump, love him or hate him (I’m ambivalent) he goes into every battle with a plan to win.
Make no mistake, this is being orchestrated by the GOPe. There is no way this would be happening without their prompting, direction, and close supervision. Romney is acting as the hatchet man for the GOPe. Does anyone thing Mitt is acting on his own. Does anyone think Mitt’s speech hasn’t been written, or at least preapproved by the GOPe?
Anyone who doesn’t understand these things has not paying attention.
Romneyesk GOPe is why Trump is doing so well. This will backfire for the GOPe.
Result....TRUMP picks up several thousands of votes
NITMITT WILL ALWAYS be remember for being a candidate who could not defeat a mooslim Marxist failed usurper.....because he is a paid flunky.
Sorry, “... speech for the ages” and Mitt Romney don’t belong in the same article, let alone the same title.
I have more than my share of issues with Trump. However, I can’t imagine any circumstance where any semi-conscious human being thinks that MITT ROMNEY is the solution to the “Trump Problem.”
The GOPe has spent millions to push JEB! on us and all that they achieved was to wreck the career and reputation of a pretty decent Florida governor who really had no business running for President.
To now dust off Romney and expect any significant share of the electorate to listen to him is patently laughable.
A loser. Why should we listen to him?
The chutzpah of these people is staggering.
Trump is an abuse of power waiting to happen.
he should not be appearing in public
Mitt was
“Remember Cruzers...Ted Cruz is going to EMBRACE and DEFEND Mitt Romney.”
Oh I CANT WAIT to see where he is going to come down on this.
He’s been playing a little to friendly with the GOPe. He is now going to have to pick a side TODAY.
Mittens is GOPe. He does expect to deny Trump the nomination.
Bush, Romey, Rubio, and Mack, all together: http://www.zimbio.com/photos/Marco+Rubio/Mitt+Romney+Campaigns+Throughout+Florida/7I1kLverwbR
Why didn’t he give a speach for the ages when he was facing obama. Mitt, you’re a little late.
“What in the world does Romney expect to accomplish?”
There has probably been back room talk about Romney ‘stepping in’ to take the nomination after the GOPe derails Trump. Won’t work, but tells you everything you need to know about the state of the party.
Romney is trying to deny Trump the Mormon vote and Utah delegates.
Romney is going full Beck.
Ditto.
