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."

I'd really like to understand what that's all about too. Makes me wonder whose side these elite establishment guys are on. Didn't mittens say something about an "imaginary establishment"? I thought he WAS the establishment, made me think of "vast right-wing conspiracy" lol
Begging on hands and knees. If they watch Bugs Bunny, they should explain it to you.
The Donald probably (and very justifiably) believes that Mitt Romney was being uncommonly ungrateful. But The Donald is quite skillful at urging others to work themselves up into a froth.
Part of the negotiations, doncha know. Bait your opponent until they are in a near-burning rage, then point out how “unreasonable” they appear.
I can see this tactic working very successfully on Herself in a few months.
Does The Donald win every confrontation? Maybe, maybe not, but he is never intimidated, and that is 90% of the battle right there. I just cannot see how Herself can long sustain in the face of that.
False outrage. Glad he said it no matter how crass. It was just what Romney deserved.
Sorry even your own kind are admitting what he meant, up thread.
Best statement of Trump on Romney:
I will talk a little on Romney’s speech...Just a little because Romney is irrelevant...
“Get your mind off the gutter if you didnt listen or watch Trumps speech then you are no better than the media that edits sound bites to fit the narrative.”
You are aware that the link “Real Clear Politics” shows the actual video of him saying this. Right? Not some clip, but the first minute and a half of him talking about Romney.
Donald has WWE in his bones. No they don’t do that. There’s something about this that transcends sex. It’s more a gratuitous display of courage.
However. I’ve been musing. I’d like to see Mitt come back with a “I’ll strap your cage to the top of my station wagon like I did to my dog!”
Now THAT would catch Donald right at his level. As well as breaking a lot of ice.
Donnie's free air time is about over. The Press has the match or thinks they do, they wanted.
Now they will bring out the Big smear guns and set for full auto in complete alignment with the Hillary clan.
The first visual I had when I heard him say this was Romney dropping to his knees to BEG, you know, groveling! Some of you need to renew your mind!
Well... Just tell your kids that people that beg, beg on their knees. Not sure what you think he meant.
Cruz needs to point out in the debate tonight that just today Donald made reference to Romney performing a sexual act on him.
Actually It never crossed.my mind. I am lady with very little experience.
UNtil I saw the reaction here where my first reaction was. What are they talking about.
ONLY people with your type of mind would think filthy thoughts
He might.
He’s just itching to be told something like “Does it take one to know one?”
“So Trump wasnt really a Romney supporter when he gave Romney a glowing endorsement in 2012?”
Yep and I wasn’t a romney supporter when I voted for him either.
think of this...he's already defined her for many people. In every stump speech or appearance (almost) he says "If Hillary is allowed to run..." which implies that she's doing someone else's work "She's a criminal with this email stuff". She's a criminal. So she's a criminal going along with a criminal enterprise.
That’s a good idea for everybody.
People can’t even take things to the gutter as well as the devil can.
Same here that is why when a couple reacted in that way I thought I would comment— sort of as a reminder of what they professed to be
Damn I get the point. But Damn.
That a little to far Trump.
