Romney is a baby who doesn't know when to exit stage left. Romney keeps forcing so much second hand embarrassment on everyone. He needs to have an intervention and/or just stop. He is becoming a laughing stock and a punch line.

Mitt Romney laid into the large and rambunctious group of 2016 Republican candidates here on Saturday, arguing that they deserved a share of blame for the rise of Donald Trump.
During a question-and-answer session with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer before around 250 Republican donors gathered here for the Romney-hosted Experts and Enthusiasts summit, the former Massachusetts governor said this year’s group of primary candidates misplayed their hand. By spending months attacking each other and ignoring Trump, he argued, they made a severe tactical error that allowed Trump — who Romney has criticized as a "con man" and a "fraud" — to escape unharmed.
“Their biggest failure was attacking each other and not the frontrunner,” Romney said. “Just politically, I thought that move was not right for them.”
Romney reserved particular scorn for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who Romney endorsed late in the primary process. The Texas senator, he pointed out, spent extensive time during the campaign praising Trump. He also said Ohio Gov. Kasich had divided the anti-Trump vote by remaining in the race long after it had become clear he didn’t have a realistic pathway to the nomination — a message he said had relayed personally to the Ohio governor. And Romney chided Right to Rise, the $100 million-plus Jeb Bush super PAC that spent heavily to tear down Bush rivals other than Trump.
“I thought it was an extremely large mistake on their part,” he said of Right to Rise.
Romney, though, credited Trump with waging a politically savvy primary campaign. “He played it extremely well,” he said, noting that the New York businessman had tapped into a deep vein of voter frustration. “It was a very effective strategy.”
As he has on previous occasions, Romney warned that a Trump presidency could have disastrous repercussions for the country.

He’s a hot mess. He and Beck need to get together and start a mental health support group.
One of the first orders of business at the convention should be a vote to throw Romney out of the Republican party and brand him a traitor. The resolution needs to be open to add others to the list.
Everyone be very clear about what the traitorous Romney has done here:
He has thrown an event for the sole purpose of providing sound bites and strategy for the Clinton campaign. He is not just bellyaching, he has now moved fully into phase two, the campaign to hand the election to Clinton.
He is joined by Ryan, McConnell, and a host of others.
“Bishop” Romney is a poison pawn.
Is Romney still a bishop?
Trump contributed $2,500 to the Romney campaign in 2012.
Well it may not be much, but he DID contribute and all Romney can do is BITCH.

Mitt seems to think that the GOP is his private wholly-owned club. Newsflash - it ain’t!
the better story would be
“Patriots Rip Romney for Losing to Obama”
Romney is dead wood to be tossed in the wood stove and never to be seen or heard from again. He is severely conflicted and a confused loser.
This man has a death wish.
““Their biggest failure was attacking each other and not the frontrunner,” Romney said. “Just politically, I thought that move was not right for them.””
Yeah, maybe so, but Ole Mitt trashed all of his oponents in 2012, then CHOKED in the general election. So he has no room to bitch at anyone. He’s just a MFing Choker!
What a turd Romney has become. He lost in 2012 and we all felt sorry for him even if he didn’t appear to have his heart in running. A lack luster campaign, against a failure of a p_resident, was the best Romney could do? Now he is leading a sham show attempt to really ruin it for the USA and particularly the Republican Party. It will be the end of both if Clinton is elected.
VOTE TRUMP, he is the people’s choice.
Loser advising, and scolding other losers.
You are so right . McCain is a total scum. He collaborated with the enemy in Vietnam and made several videos for them. He is lower that crap on my shoe. I have always detested this POS.
Yes Mitt, perhaps you can regale them with stories about your blisterimg victory over Obama.
GFY, Willard ... you lost to 0bama.
ROFL!!!
