Park City, Utah (CNN) — Mitt Romney suggested Friday that Donald Trump's election could legitimize racism and misogyny, ushering in a change in the moral fabric of American society.
The 2012 Republican nominee, who has openly opposed Trump's candidacy, went further than he has before in outlining to CNN's Wolf Blitzer how the country's character would suffer in a Trump White House. Trump's rhetoric has caused even some other Republicans to label him a racist, and Romney said he would not be able to paper over his incendiary remarks.
"I don't want to see trickle-down racism" Romney said in an interview here in a suite overlooking the Wasatch Mountains, where he is hosting his yearly ideas conference. "I don't want to see a president of the United States saying things which change the character of the generations of Americans that are following. Presidents have an impact on the nature of our nation, and trickle-down racism, trickle-down bigotry, trickle-down misogyny, all these things are extraordinarily dangerous to the heart and character of America."
Romney, who actively sought to recruit an independent, third-party challenger to Trump, also conceded that a credible candidate will not emerge. But he did show a new openness to one non-Trump candidate, libertarian Gary Johnson, whom he did not rule out voting for.

FUMR. I used to respect this man as a husband, a father, as an all around good guy. Not anymore, as inspector Clouseau would say.
I want the vote I cast for him, BACK! I take back all the nice things I have said about him in the past.
Mitt, you are DEAD to me.
Trump's Twitter today was fantastic with old Obama radio clip destroying Hillary...
Romney's choice, Gary Johnson, though claiming to be a Libertarian strongly supports the government forcing Jewish bakers to bake Nazi themed cakes. Not exactly a Libertarian role for the federal government. Should Kosher delis be forced to serve pork ribs and cheeseburgers? Trickle down Mitt?
In fairness to the Libertarian Party the other candidates, this was a debate issue, felt a Jewish baker should sell what he wants and customers should buy what they want.
Governor Weld, who stands by his contension that Trumps immigration plan is the equivalent of slaughtering Jews and burning their remains, he clearly demeans Jewish life and can go f*ck himself. Being deported is not the equivalent of being murdered, and if your entire family is deported, not likely, it's not the same as being murdered.
Sorry Mitt, you're candidates are as bigoted as anything Trump has said. Except they don't need trickle down.
Since they were unable to get Yeb! nominated as their Designated Loser, they are now forced to sabotage Trump.
Whatever it takes to keep the Cheap Labor Express running.
FUMR.
Preibus better tell him to shut up or become the Democrat he really is formally.
Seconded!
He’s going Gore!
The people sucking off the government teet really don’t like the prospect of a President Trump taking away their lollipop.
Yes, the Mormomns OK’d blacks joining in 1978. 14 years after the Civil Rights Act.
A rino wrapped in the racism charge, typical.
Mitt! Donald is not the one with a binder full of women
Has Hillary announced that she is in talks with Romney for VP???
Funny, I didn’t and will NEVER vote for this degenerate scumbag because he is no different than Obama, probably would have been worse.
Trump is the real deal.
Willard ought to keep his trap shut, before somebody kicks his teeth out.
Poor Romney! To know him is to hate him. “familiarity breeds contempt” is a truism with this D-bag.
"..."I don't want to see trickle-down racism" Romney said... "
If that is true, then where is Romney and like-minded RINO's appropriate outrage to seditious 'identity' politics?
To their everlasting shame, by focusing in on Trump's statements about "Mexicans" or "Muslims", Romney and company legitimize and validate LaRaza and CAIR, both seditious entities based on identity politics.
Romney is all about Romney..he is a progressive who calls himself a Conservative Monday, Wednesday, and Friday..a moderate on Tuesday, and a progressive on Saturday and Sunday
Romney knows what he is doing. There are some elements in the current “establishment” who are so apprehensive about Trump that they will do anything at all to make him go away. This Romney-talk is designed to motivate some crazies to start taking pot shots (to save America, if not the world).
Romney a rhino?? No way
With this blabbering racism charge.. Shows he has been a Demonrat
All along... Fooling the republicans that he was one of them
Should have figured — a hard core Mormon— has not only a screw loose.
He is a LIAR as to being Christian.
FUMR!
What a piece of crap.
