Back to Videos Trump: Romney Begged Me For Endorsement, I Could Have Said 'Mitt, Drop To Your Knees' And He Would Have By Ian Schwartz Posted on March 3, 2016

Donald Trump responds to the speech Mitt Romney delivered Thursday morning on the state of the 2016 race which he used to lambaste the Republican presidential frontrunner. At a campaign rally in Portland, Maine this afternoon Trump talked about how Mitt Romney begged him for his endorsement in 2012, which eventually did happen.

"He was begging for my endorsement," Trump said Thursday. "I could have said, 'Mitt, drop to your knees,' and he would have dropped to his knees. He was begging. True. He was begging me."

Nice try. Even one of yours interpreted it that way up-thread.

I imagined that Mitt came crawling to Trump, begging. It just seems like something Mitt would do.

There was absolutely nothing sexual about Trump’s statement. Anyone who was really listening would know that. And I’m not a true-blue FRumper.

I thought begging also. Those with filthy minds are mostly determined to attack Trump no matter what he would have said. If there is nothing with which to attack Trump, then they will fabricate issues.

And Romney did not win primaries by the large margins that Trump is winning them.

In order to win the nomination, you have to win at least 50% of the delegates. So far, of the total number of delegates awarded, Trump has won 46%. So, if Trump continues to win primaries by the same "large margins" then the nomination will be decided at the convention, where all bets will be off.

This of course is why Trump supporters are starting to make the false argument that as long as Trump has more delegates then any other candidate, not giving him the nomination will be stealing it from him. Apparently, almost only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and if Trump cannot win the required number of delegates.

Get your mind off the gutter if you didn’t listen or watch Trumps speech then you are no better than the media that edits sound bites to fit the narrative. I’m disappointed of how many people here think.

Poor ole Mitt. Gettin’ the WWE treatment and he doesn’t know what to do.

If I were advising Mitt? I’d say dig out some WWE videos and watch them, carefully. Look at how they jibe and counter jibe. Work on imitating that, before a mirror. If you can strap your dog to the top of a station wagon, you probably can do it to Trump if you really try. Play a background of “Macho, Macho Man” (it can be used in a non-gay way) to further get into the spirit. Now go to it, tomcat. Surprise America and show them the Mitt you should have showed to Obama.

The first thing I thought of was begging, too.

Some people here have filthy, filthy minds.
*******************************************

I’m sure somehow the begging on his knees had something to do w/ the KKK as well. (sarcasm)

Just another Trump comment that I will need to try to explain to my little kids.

Y'all are manufacturing outrage at this point. It's very clear what he said - Mittens was BEGGING - Trump could have told him to drop to his knees (BEGGING) and he would have. Get your filthy minds outta the gutter. That might help.

Yes, I would expect this from the Rubio supporters, but not Cruz.

Orrrr ... it could be that people beg while on their knees.

<><>><<>

Or not.

It’s not like Trump is above the profane.

_____________

Vintage Trump ...the media will play up the “profane” interpretation and create a furor ...and Trump will then explain that he meant that Mitt would have begged upon bended knee ...mere supplication; nothing profane about it.

Trump uses this type of leger de main over and over ...and the media is just like Charlie Brown getting ready to kick off and assuming Lucy won’t pull the football away at the last minute.

When the masses break out with a case of political herpies simplex (tRumpf) they will realize he was not telling the truth about his political past.

He really was a Liberal supporting Liberal Hillary, Chuck, Harry and Nancy. And he will laugh in their faces and tell them now much fun he had conning them.

Like he did in his book about repeatedly committing adultery.

I watched part of the Cruz speech after the Super Tuesday elections and was shocked at his half-truths and (in some cases) outright lies about Trump.

I had thought him Christian.
