Mitt Romney ripped into Donald Trump today, calling his candidacy a case of "evil trumping good.
"A person so untrustworthy and dishonest as Hillary Clinton must not become president. Of course, a Trump nomination enables her victory," Romney said this morning in an address to the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah.
And that was the tip of the iceberg in a scathing speech the former GOP presidential nominee gave of his partys 2016 campaign front-runner.
"Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University," Romney said. "He's playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat."

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
Why the heck should he. tRump has been nothing but nasty to Cruz. Now all of a sudden he’s supposed to stick up for the Donald. If Romney had come out against Cruz the Donald would have said see, I told you nobody likes him and you guys would have been fine with that. Romney is just as entitled to not support tRump as Chris Christie is entitled to support tRump.
Now I know why Romney lost. . . why he refused to bring up Benghazi a week after the story broke.
If you find nothing that Mittens said to be a lie, then you too are full on GOPe, ex pat.
I was always taught that if you have nothing decent or nice to say about another person, then just button your lips (well, that’s the polite version of the real message, but y’all understand).
Romney has violated this very basic rule of simple human decency, in spades. What he may have done to this country by enabling the election of a far Left Wing candidate (AGAIN!) is incalculable. G-d have mercy on his soul, because not too many of those on our side will have any for him in this life.
Regarding Romneys evident loss of integrity among patriots, Im glad that patriots have caught on to the idea that the Republican party of our parents has degenerated into nothing more than the conservative front-end of the corrupt, state sovereignty-ignoring Washington cartel.
where can we e-mail Romney to register our disgust at him undercutting the front runner in “his” party
Did you watch the speeches on Tuesday night? Did you notice the difference in demeanor between the chihuahuas and Trump?
Cruz’s sermon was nothing but a long winded attack on Trump - he went full Beck.
Root for your GOPe candidate all you want. But his mask has slipped off - you just choose to ignore that.
“Unfortunately, as usual, establishment Republicans save the long knives for their own.”
They have perfected “tha art of self castration!”
as usual, well expressed Jeff.
I am terribly disappointed in Mitt. I supported him, had sign in my yard, worked phone banks, passed out literature...
Had he had half as much fire against Obama, he may have been our president (oh yea, then there was MEGA fraud)
Someone up thread mentioned saving the long knives for your own.. too true unfortunately
Any of our candidates are better than H or B...
Here's some advise - stop worshiping candidates and start focusing on issues. And you might consider holding all candidates to the same standard, while you're at it.
Romney could not bring himself to challenge Obama.
Yet, he trashes a Republican candidate, using below the belt mudslinging.
How can he expect any Republican to listen to him, much less respect him?
I support Cruz first, but if Trump wins, I’m behind him 100%. I can’t believe Romney was ever the Republican nominee.
I’m proud to say that I voted Constitution Party in 2012. A liberal like him doesn’t deserve the Presidency, and given how much he agreed with Soetoro I’m not the least bit saddened that he lost.
I never heard these harsh of comments towards Obama or an Democrat.
American voters have never seen the Republican Party go after a fellow Republican presumptive nominee. Thus, Americans smell a GOPe rat - the rats think this goes unnoticed.
I wonder how Ann Coulter is handling this.
low blow but too true (Im NE Ohio/Browns country)
“Romney could not bring himself to challenge Obama. Yet, he trashes a Republican candidate, using below the belt mudslinging.”
Typical GOPe/neocon behavior.
If they can’t own the party, no one else has a right to it.
