BEDMINSTER, New Jersey — Former President Donald Trump, the leading 2024 GOP presidential candidate, told Breitbart News that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is a “loser.”
Trump made the comments about Romney, who carpet-bagged his way into a U.S. Senate seat from Utah after he lost the 2012 presidential election after his governorship in the northeastern Bay State, Massachusetts, during a nearly hour-long exclusive on-camera interview last week at his golf club here.
“Mitt’s a loser. He’s been a loser for a long time,” Trump said when asked to respond to Romney’s recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal in which the failed presidential candidate called for the crowded GOP field in 2024 to winnow itself down to try to stop Trump from getting the nomination again.
Trump also bashed Romney for marching with Black Lives Matter protesters in Washington, DC, in 2020, mocking Romney for wearing a mask during it and saying some of the leftists with whom he was marching were really bad folks.
“He has no respect in the Republican Party,” Trump continued about Romney. “He’s a terrible Republican. I think he’s terrible for the nation also. I saw him marching with the Antifa and the groups down in Washington with his mask on—you couldn’t even see his face. They were marching, and these were real terrorists—very bad people he was marching with. He didn’t even know the difference.”
Trump also said that any endorsements from Romney for any candidates nationwide are like “Kryptonite,” and seriously hurt any Republican running for office.
“No, Mitt’s really—I think having him, I call him Kryptonite. If he endorses somebody, that person loses,” Trump said.

No one will step up. He’ll have to withdraw first.
I believe someone has stepped up. It is crucial that it’s just one. The vote splitting kills us.
I wholly agree with President Trump.
I can’t think of a bigger mistake than voting for Romney/Ryan. I did learn an important lesson, due diligence and vetting anyone before I vote.
Trump will wind up getting a Democrat elected in Utah. His supporters will cheer this on. “A Democrat is better than Romney!”
So do I.
No, the stupid is what kills us...
The stupid, they walk amongst us...
And they vote
Romney Talks Faith, Washington D.C. Temple Opening on Fox News Sunday
How? Utah Republicans hate Romney.
That’s true, the leaders like his money, i.e., him, but the voters do not. The church leaders influence on their members with regard to Romney has waned significantly as Romney has shown his true colors.
Mitt is a turd
Trump is just being nice
I guess that Trump in unaware that the LDS controls Utah politics and that Romney is a former bishop and stakeholder in the Church, and remains an influential leader therein. He will thus remain a Senator for as long as he and LDS desire it.

So what??? Utah is full of potential conservative LDS candidates. They can do a damn sight better than Romney..
Romney a bishop? the qualification for that title is that all males who have attained the age of 14 are eligible to be bishop.
Prior to 1967 the rule was that they must be White.

No, it was prior to 1978. Shortly before the change where blacks were allowed to hold the Priesthood, God himself ‘communicated’ with the LDS Prophet that, yes, God himself had made a mistake and that blacks should be welcomed to the ‘church’.
Blacks were welcomed on the eve of a legal decision making it so.
So convincing of divine intervention!
LDS also controls the largest databases regarding personal information in the world, anyone who thinks they are not using that for political marketing purposes is nuts.
