Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Thursday that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's rhetoric on Iran "hurts the cause."
"I am opposed to the Iran deal, but @SenTedCruz is way over the line on the Obama terrorism charge. Hurts the cause," Romney, acting in his emerging role as party elder, tweeted Thursday.

Cruz fired back at Romney on Thursday afternoon during an interview on the Chad Hasty radio show, in a clip flagged by Democratic rapid response group American Bridge 21st century.
"When you send billions of dollars to Jihadists trying to kill Americans, you bear responsibility for the murder that they carry out with the money you have given them," Cruz said. "And you know one of the reasons why Republicans keep getting clobbered, we have leader like Mitt Romney and like Jeb Bush who are afraid to say that."

If Mitt only showed this kind of meanness in 2012 he might be president today. Oh, who am I kidding. Mittens, McConnell, Ryan, and most of the people in charge of the Republican Party are closet Democrats who have nearly completed their destruction of the GOP from the inside.
..,” Romney, acting in his emerging role as party elder...
In the GOPe, being a Losing Presidential candidate is a resume builder for the party elder job.
Romney needs to leave the stage, stay off TV, and practice his political flatulence in the privacy of one of his very expensive homes.
I think the sleaze is a lot stronger in you, jimbo.
So far all your posts have shown is Cruz consistently and rightfully criticizing Romney, when at the same time Trump was praising and endorsing Romney.
Romney is going to go broke if Trump get in.
Remember when the Swiss notified Obama about secret bank accounts for well known Americans?
He only ended up request about 2,000 out of several thousand accounts and the Swiss wanted no part of it.
Romney’s freak out has nothing to do with Trump, as we know he took his support and money all through his political life.
No, Mitt’s freak out is because he is going to end up losing multiple billions of dollars in illegal global business deals - Iran included, I’m sure.
Too little too late lying ted...what are you and rommie trying to pretend - that you are not in love anymore just to throw those that don’t know better - you both are tied together at the hips in the estabab stew!!!!!!!!!!!
Romney is backing Cruz not the other way around.
And when Cruz ends up backing Trump (assuming Trump gets the nomination) will that make Trump a sleaze ball and liar as well?
fallen for the ruse that rommy and teddi don’t love each other anymore...couldn’t be farther from the truth!!
Ouch! that has to hurt the Trump maggots.
When Cruz was saying things like that I really admired him. He told the truth and was not afraid to confront the GOP “leaders” who criticized him.
Do you think Cruz would say things like that today?
Cruz has done a lot of good things in the past. I would not call him sleazy. I admire Cruz for what he has done and hope he will not sell out to Romney, Graham and the like.
Not in the least. Trump endorsed Romney, gave him money and defended him against false attacks in 2012.
Romney then backstabbed Trump with his speech.
Trump is the man of integrity. Romney is the slime ball.
So how many Americans have been killed by Iran since Obama signed this agreement?
They are way too far through the looking glass for rational thought.
NO, it means that Cruz knows he has no where to go except back to his senate seat and prays that after all the lies he’s told that Texas will re elect him, that’s all Cruz knows, how to lie and run for an office, never signed the front of a check before in his life as a business person or a Governor, and I don’t think the People of Texas would be that stupid to elect him as their Governor....
Mittens is a gutless idiot. He needs to go back to running athletic events - non-violent ones so he isn’t frightened.
I think the primary in Texas tells you they that still love him there.
And how many votes were ‘cheated’ on? He lies, and cheats, if that is who you want, good, keep him in Texas because the rest of America don’t want the Canadian liar...”Lying Ted”...
