Stuart Stevens called Trump "a dangerous person" and "someone who would embarrass America."
The Republican Party's top strategist in the 2012 election would rather see Hillary Clinton as the next president than Donald Trump.
"Personally, I think Hillary Clinton would be a better president than Donald Trump because I think that Donald Trump is a dangerous person and is someone who would embarrass America," Stuart Stevens, who advised 2012 nominee Mitt Romney, said Tuesday on Bloomberg's "With All Due Respect."
"I have no desire to see Hillary Clinton as president of the United States," he added. "But if this is the choice -- I will not give her my vote, but I can't support Donald Trump."
Stevens joins a growing number of Republicans who are speaking out and pledging not to back Trump if he wins the GOP nomination. Rep. Scott Rigell (R-Va.) emailed supporters Tuesday and said he refuses to back someone "so lacking in the judgement, temperament and character needed to be our nation's commander-in-chief." Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) said he will look for a third-party candidate if Trump makes it to the general election....

I think trump is a fraud but these Romney people need to be kicked out of the party
He's not on drugs. He knows exactly what he's doing.
Like most of the GOP donors and elite, he's running a scam to pretend to resist the Democrats.
They don't care about winning. They just want to keep up appearances so that they can keep their cushy think tank and lobbyist jobs.
The man who advised Romney in 2012, and Romney lost what should have been an easy win, says Trump is dangerous?
The gopE is a danger to America and this is this country’s last chance.
Cmon folks you must admit Romney fought hard during the primary just like McCain. They each took a dive in the general election but at this point “what difference does it make?”
For years I’ve heard “We must change the party from within.” Trump is the one person who can actually do that. But he will need Cruz’s supporters to come on board.
I don’t think these aholes fully appreciate their predicament. They think Trump will wreck their little party. They don’t understand that the GOP is fighting for its life right now and they’ll lose that fight if they deny Trump his due. Trump’s supporters will not vote for anyone but Trump.
I can hear Trump now, “Well, Low Energy Jeb dropped out. Now the party is trotting out another, lower energy candidate.”
There’s your trouble.
That enormous POS.
Stuart Stevens, Mitt Romney, Scott Rigell, Ben Sasse....the four of these worthless scumbags can ESAD!
Maybe its just as well Mitt choked. Its time for a showdown in the Republican party. Voters are finally ticked off enough to make some changes.

He needed to do a little W style "strategery".
More embarrassed than we are now? I think not.
The party is through for them. They can either graciously accept and embrace the movement which Trump created, or they can vindictively bring the Republican Party and the nation down with them.
Proving yet again what a thoroughly worthless leftist POS Moral Monster Mitt Romney is and was and why I and many others could not vote for him. I am no fan of Trump but he is far superior to Moral Monster Mitt Romney.
Moral Monster Mitt Romney is every bit a liberal and hallucinates that he can govern too. As with everything else, he is wrong.
I hope all those Republican “top strategists” go join the Democrat Party and help the Democrats lose a few elections.
Say, to the Ukraine? Or occupied Cologne?
GOPe bump for later....
Old GOP-e quisling catamite habits die hard.
