(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."

Mittens got three million votes less than the guy he lost to the first time he ran.

He has all the charisma of a wet rag.

Today shows it in spades.

Isn’t it interesting how the GOP has fought much harder and dirtier against anyone who even looked conservative (ie Chris McDaniel) than they ever remotely did against Hussein, Reid, Pelosi, and Co?

Romney is the PHONEY:

"Conservative" RINO Romney threw Mass. citizens under the bus with his
imposition of gay marriage and RomneyCARE (before he fled Mass.)

Also under the Romney bus:


"National Guard Lt. Anthony Circosta poses in his backyard in Agawam, Mass., on June 9, 2007.
At left, his wife Danielle and daughter Kylie, 2, talk near the swing set. Circosta,
a decorated Iraq War veteran, seemed like an ideal candidate for a pardon from
then-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for the 29-year-old's boyhood conviction
for a BB gun shooting. Romney denied the pardon,
twice, despite the recommendation of the Governor's Council.
"

Jebbie Bush stayed out of sight while Zer0 fiddled as the world burned. We heard nothing from him the entire time this worthless zero was in the White House. When Mittens got handed his lunch, and let ZerO in the door, he went off to sulk in the corner. He stayed out of sight and never said a word. What is with these spineless GOPeers? Are they too afraid they will cause their masters to cut off their allowance?

What an A..H.le.

Note, no words about Hitlery, not even one letter.

That says it all. First thing I am doing after I vote in this primary is remove my name from the stupid party. I used to want to vote in the primary but now why should I. Next politician who calls this house or stops by my front door is going to be considered to be a hostile trespasser and they deserve what they get.

Last night blowing through the channels I came across fat boy GOPe Rove talking about why he thinks Trump is not a good choice because he is not addressing the most important issues like our debt and entitlements. Rubio has been hitting on these things lately. Coincidence, I think not. Now then, unless I miss my guess, Rove was an advisor to Bush who after Obama is the biggest runner up of debt in US History. Why was it not important then nor was it important to address entitlements at that time. BTW fat boy, don’t consider my Social Security as an entitlement, I PAID FOR IT. I did not live on some donor fed slop trough.

The extent of the corruption within our government is being exposed in a way we have never seen before.

Couldn't agree more.

I tweeted Trump about it.

How do you like a friend who repays your good deed on his behalf by attacking your reputation?

Some friend Mittens has turned out to be.

The Case Against Mitt Romney



Multiple Mitts: Romney on the Issues
Is potential presidential candidate Mitt Romney too two-faced for voters?

Making a Disaster National: Massachusetts' RomneyCare v. ObamaCare
All of the key features in the Obama-care national health care plan were in Massachusetts Romney-care plan, although a few of the numbers were slightly different.

Mitt Romney's Magic Act: Creating the Illusion RomneyCare Is Different from ObamaCare
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney won the Southern Republican Leadership Conference Presidential Poll April 10, defeating Rep. Ron Paul by a single vote, 438-437 despite signing into law a Massachusetts health care reform law almost identical to Obama's agenda.

Also dead under "conservative" Romney's bus:

"Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans,
has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced
,
instead tapping registered Democrats or independents -- including two gay lawyers who
have supported expanded same-sex rights, a Globe review of the nominations has found.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats
or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians
or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show.
In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters,
and 14 registered Democrats."
- Boston Globe 7/25/2005


Romney Rewards one of the State's Leading Anti-Marriage Attorneys by Making him a Judge
Romney told the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2004, that the "real threat to the States is not the
constitutional amendment process, in which the states participate,
but activist judges who disregard the law and redefine marriage . . ."
Romney sounds tough but yet he had no qualms advancing the legal career of one
of the leading anti-marriage attorneys.
He nominated Stephen Abany to a District Court.
Abany has been a key player in the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association which,
in its own words, is "dedicated to ensuring that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision
on marriage equality is upheld, and that any anti-gay amendment or legislation is defeated."
- U.S. Senate testimony by Gov. Mitt Romney, 6/22/2004 P>


"Romney announces he won't fill judicial vacancies before term ends
Despite his rhetoric about judicial activism, Romney announced that
he won't fill all the remaining vacancies during his term - but instead
leave them for his liberal Democrat successor!

Governor Mitt Romney pledged yesterday not to make a flurry of lame-duck
judicial appointments in the final days of his administration . . . David Yas,
editor of Lawyers Weekly, said Romney is "bucking tradition" by resisting the urge to
fill all remaining judgeships. "It is a tradition for governors to use that power to appoint judges
aggressively in the waning moments of their administration," Yas said.
He added that Romney has been criticized for failing to make judicial appointments.
"The legal community has consistently criticized him for not filling open seats quickly enough
and being a little too painstaking in the process and being dismissive of the input of the
Judicial Nominating Commission," Yas said.
- Boston Globe 11/2/2006


“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.

The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”
- Boston Herald, 11/12/2006


"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,”

[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."
- Boston Globe, 11/8/2006


Mr. RomneyCARE: "Me. Me. ... Me. ... Me."

Ok...

So the posts from salon, buzzfeed, the ny times, huffpo, the John Oliver show, MSNBC and other that were posted by CRUZ SUPPORTERS were completely missed by you?

In fact I want you to flat-out lie and say “I’ve never saw that”. Please do.
