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."

Same reason people voted for him. I do not think many people voted for Romney. People were voting against Obama and Romney was the only game in town in the general.
Yup. Trump knows how to counterpunch.
Only people with mind in the gutters would think that way. So I know where yours is. It took Trump over 5 minutes or maybe more to get to that point because he was explaining how Romney begged him. And that a tie in just I case you didn’t understand it because you just watched what they showed. But then again no need to explain to people with filthy minds or low IQs
He did say it.
May I suggest that you conjure up some decency in political discourse and choose not to infringe on my constitutional rights — hypocrite that you appear to be
I’m sorry that you misunderstood my post.
That depends on your mindset.
freepers have really got their minds in the gutter today don’t they? So when someone says they got down on their knees in prayer, do these sicko’s think the same thing?
In my case, I did not vote for Romney for several reasons.
First of all, I am a Christian, and I could not vote for a man and let him into my house via the media as President, and into my life as ruler over me, when the Apostle James tells us when someone comes to our door preaching another gospel, we are not even to wish that person good day. And Romney telling us, the only other covenant nation outside Israel, we making the covenant with God, not the other way around as with Israel, that his sons served our country better by going door to door spreading the heresies, leading the vulnerable away from the salvation of Christ into eternal damnation, than they would have by going into the military, to me pretty much summed up why it would be a horrible slap in the face to our Lord to elect this creature, when we have never needed His intervention as much as we do now.
The racism of the mormon cult is disgusting. I know they are better than they used to be, but it is very much there with many mormons, anytime I hear the N-word, it comes out of the mouth of a mormon and they have no problem saying it, thus I felt Romney was a terrible candidate to put up against Obama.
I had some pretty ghastly experiences when I lived in a town basically controlled by Mormons. They are incredibly intrusive, intolerant, even despotic, when they have the upper hand. I definitely do not want the mormons running things.
As a delegate last time around (but not a national delegate, I just did not have the heart for it) I just did not like the way the LDS church was so “in your face”, which they also were at the caucus, and how arrogant, patronizing, and insulting mormon delegates were (so I hung around the Paul people although I was definitely a supporter of Mr. Newt but I had a hard time finding others who thought like me for some reason, although I did run into them.)
I thought Romney’s slanders of Mr. Newt were detestable. All told, Romney has brought an ugly tone to our party which had not been there before, and now it is everywhere. And I am seeing it again on this forum — which makes me wonder just who all these nasty people really support. Ron Paul supporters are pretty fanatical and cult-like, and I have wondered if they are the same people, latched onto Cruz this time around, but now I wonder if in fact these people who are so insulting, so nasty, are maybe GOPe and a part of the Romney power group. Romney’s people, in my opinion, are ugly people.
Since it was my personal belief that if we elected Romney we were replacing TweedleDum with TweedleDee, and also we lose our party to the mormon cult if Romney was elected, and then would have no chance of finding a good man or woman to stand up in 4 years, there was no sin against my country in voting for a third party candidate who I felt was a good candidate; all I could do was pray that enough others would feel the same that neither Romney nor Obama would win.
Now about Donald Trump. In the 1980s, if you had told me I would ever consider voting for Trump, I would have laughed hysterically. Such a thing was unimaginable to me. I thought Donald Trump a rake and a playboy, shallow, immature, materialistic, attention grabbing — albeit to his credit incredibly hardworking and successful — although I was certainly no saint myself in those days (not that I am now either, but I hope I am a better person now than I was then.)
The Bible tells us, train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will follow. Donald Trump has grown up. Tho carnality and the man-child are far in the past. I see a grand old man who has returned to the way he was brought up to go, he knows right from wrong, he has an innate honesty about him — and even humility despite the braggadocio. He loves THIS country, he sees what is wrong with it, his life experiences have provided him with some insights as to how to fix things (although I do think we cannot be fixed without repentance and turning back to God) and he has the confidence and the courage to stand in the gap and say, let me try!
I think all that has happened in Donald Trump’s life, the sins and the successes, all work together in mysterious ways, and that Donald Trump is the one (not the Canadian who compromises the constitution even further with his candidacy) who might be able to fix this mess we are in. Certainly, these politicians in Washington cannot do it, they have no real world experience, and they are the ones who created this in the first place. So let someone on the outside, but who has dealt with the corruption for a lifetime and knows what he is dealing with, try. Who else is stepping up to the plate?
And one more thing, Michelle Obama! How does she manage to dress so badly, to look so awkward (I do not think she is man and I think her children are hers by the way.)
Wouldn’t it be a nice change to have a first lady who, when she goes abroad and stands next to a beautiful young royal princess, all heads turn to look at her first?
Maybe I am wrong about all of this, I am not very wise, I just have to trust my own judgement, as do we all. I have only one vote and my vote matters to me, and I believe it matters to God.
there. fixed it.
This is the second thread that I’ve seen you post this in. Are you hoping for a Romney come back?
“I can’t imagine having to explain that statement to them in grade school.”
They don’t understand that ultimate begging is done on one’s knees?
So if you were asking me for a favor and I told you to get on your knees. What exactly do you think I’m talking about?
Mitt is the modern day Brutus.
Who is he kidding...Romney wouldn’t fight back against Candy Crowley.
I thought of his remark as having him beg for an endorsement. Nothing more than that.
Stop right there Sister Terresa. You are the on proclaiming people need to get their minds out of the gutter. do I think trump meant anything sexual? no. However who knows with him...
You roll into towm supporting a Man that is so brazen in his sexual history he wrote of it in a book and had it published where he bragged about having multiple affairs while he was married, with other married women.
Put yourself in the shoes of those Spouses of those he cheated with. Every time that buffoon is on TV, Mentioned, or other wise comes up those people are Hurt...All because the Mouth decided to brag about it and then have it Published!
No stretch sister. It's your Sleezy Candidate.
Besides those things you list that Trump did to help Romney, he also stood up for Romney when Reid was implying IRS issues in Romney’s past.
What’s up with these Mormons? First Beck. Now Romney. I’ve always been told they are “good people”. Maybe not so much.
But now, every time I think of Mitt Romney, I'll have this mental image...
I'd say he's done as a national figure of any import.
