(Loser) Mitt Romney: Donald Trump is a 'phony, a fraud'
CNN ^ | March 3, 2016 | By Catherine Treyz

Posted on 03/03/2016 3:40:22 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney thinks "Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud" and that he's "playing the American public for suckers," according to prepared remarks provided by Romney to CNN.

According to the former Massachusetts governor, "the only serious policy proposals that deal with the broad range of national challenges we confront have come from Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich."

Romney is expected to remark on some what-ifs about Trump becoming president. "His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president," Romney is expected to say.

Romney will also touch on a "twisted example of evil trumping good: "Trump's claims that he admires Russian President Vladimir Putin while calling "George W. Bush a liar."

When they put on this phony Mitt show, will there be any questioning? Will there be time for a rebuttal? Or just free range bashing?

Linda is a pathetic weasel whose endorsement isn’t worth a warm bucket of spit. Romney is a buffoon carting the GOPe attack wagon towards the front-runner as decided by We The People.

Find another thread for your piss on Cruz rant.

What did you have in mind as rebuttal? How would that be done? Trump is on the trail every day and getting the largest share of media coverage daily. That’s about as good a rebuttal as you could have I’d think.

Mitt’s name calling and speech will drive more voters to Trump.

Mittens gave his speech to CNN?

I believe that this move by the GOPe, which is what Mittens is, is going to backfire like sirocco-wind-fed fires. These people aren’t just playing with fire. They’re arsonists who are set on burning us down. They HATE the little guy.

Oddly enough, I also think that Romney will be seen like the caviar-encrusted rich man he is, while Trump, though also rich, has become more like a construction-worker hard hat guy you have a Gatorade with on the job.

Well, I don’t like Putin, but no one messes with him. He’s also doing the job in Syria that 0bama won’t. At least someone is bombing the butchers over there.

Trump did more than just give his endorsement. Trump went as far as to work the phone banks and tape campaign phone messages on Romney's behalf. Those phone messages helped Romney throughout the Midwest.

Trump paid his dues. Yet this is how he gets repaid.

Thanks for this information--I was unaware that Trump had made phone messages on Romney's behalf.

What we have seen since Feb. 1999 (Clinton's trial in the Senate) is that the GOP is loyal to everyone except those who work on its behalf.

What a setup. These prepared remarks for use at the debate tonight. Romney praises every single candidate on the stage and bashes Trump. And days before Republican only primaries.

The GOP saying eff you to Indies and dems voting for Trump as well as his millions of Republican voters.

It’s time for every good American to rally around Trump.

I will now without a doubt support a third party run by Trump if he doesn’t win the Republican nomination.

The Party left me not the other way around

How condescending of Romney to assume the almost 4 million Americans who have already voted for Trump are stupid and racist and cannot make an informed decision without him.

Cruz is GOPe, which is why both Linda and Mitt back him over Trump.

I thought Trump called Rubio a choke artist. Maybe Rubio AND Romney are both choke artists.

All I need to know, from Romney or any of the other lemmings, is, “Did you ever criticize Obama this way, in 2008 or 2012?”

“The GOP is in full meltdown.”

Where was all this Romney angst and vituperous language in 2012 when it really mattered, he couldn’t even manage a disparaging glance at Candy Crowley,

I’ve never seen the GOPe be more blatant (even desperate) with attacks coming daily and certainly never against their supposed opposition (a Democrat) and I’ve been watching a long time,

I’ve been a Cruz supporter all along, but if these evil people are holding hands and walking in lockstep and standing in agreement with that demonic President and then going so far as to even drag in the Pope for reinforcements, this is getting truly bizarre and I will vote for Trump,

Normally this beast wont let you see it operating in the flesh, its not going to release that power or leave the Oval Office, its waiting for Hillary,

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12

I get that Trump has a command when it comes to air time. However, to allow a citizen to waltz onto national TV, rant for whatever time allowed, walk off. No, it deserves an immediate response. The folks watching, at that very time need to here a response. Not that they may here one at some later time. Right then, right there. Come now, we all know LIV’s. They form opinions and deep thoughts on sound bites alone. Let alone some infomercial.
