Romney says Trump will change America with 'trickle-down racism'
CNN ^ | June 10, 2016 | Theodore Schleifer

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.

A former nominee besmirching the current Republican nominee with perhaps the most vile epithet out there.

Any wonder why they're called the stupid party?

Meanwhile, Mark Levin (no Trump fan himself) points out that Ryan, McConnell, Romney et al would never direct the same type of vitriol at Hillary or Hussein.

There needs to be a drone strike at $hit Romney’s “yearly ideas conference.”

What a worthless, miserable piece of crap you are, Nit Wit Romney. I’m glad you lost the election, you putrid POS.

Mitt is competing with Obama on a reality show called, Who’s got the Biggest Chip on Their Shoulder.

W. Mitt veers into the creepy lane yet again… the White Horse Prophecy refers to HIM, dammit! HIM!!!

I can picture this self-aggrandizing financial vulture doing a "shatner" by shouting "TRU-U-U-U-U-MP!" at the sight of Donald on the screen.

Romney and his ilk know that Trump is serious on closing the border. All of Mitt’s cheap labor express buddies are scared sh!tless and Mitt is doing his best to bring down Trump. Mitt can just go to hell.

Such an honor. Thanks Mormons for OK’ing blacks. Out of curiosity, is there anyone else we need the Mormons to OK for the world? Give me a break. I wonder if in 1977 Mitt was going against his church...hmmm

Romney ushered in Obama and a gazillion more illegals. But I guess that was so he could fulfill the Mormon white horse prophesy. Failed at that too.

LOL...it took Trump to force RINO/leftist McRomney to come fully out of the lib closet. It sounds like he’s getting his talking points directly from Hellary’s people.

Mittens a real piece of work.

I’m glad in hindsight the American people sent the douchebag packing.

His insufferable arrogance exceeds tolerable limits.

Romney is not Obama filling the country with third worlders for votes and destruction. Romney is a one worlder LDS bot willing to fill the country with third worlders for cheap labor, while building the new world order for the globalist elite to which he (and the Bushes) will belong.

He shames all Mormons with his actions.


He shames all Americans with his actions. Romney is campaigning for the Butcher of Benghazi. He is a disgusting human being.
