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."

“The “dirty” interpretation never entered my mind.”

Now if Trump had said “get on his knees and beg me”. I’d understand. But he didn’t, because that’s not what he meant. We all know that.

I watched the whole speech not just what you saw on a minute clip. It’s like watching the end of a movie and you said you understand what the whole movie was about. Again only people with filthy minds would interpret the statement in such way.

“Why is your mind in the gutter?”

You can thank Trump for that.

Someone with a filthy mind thinks this. Trump was referring to making Romney beg for money. CNN’s Brook Baldwin said it was “vulgar” term. Might be for her. Maybe she drops to her knees a lot. She’s also a Trump hating liberal.

Anyone who brags about his Sexual promiscuity in writing and has it published HAS a filthy mind. Class Dismissed...

Get over it; beggars should go on their knees before their patrons.
The only way any one could have interpreted that differently is if they have a naturally dirty mind.
And I am not a Trump fan; I am a CRUZ guy, but I do refuse to attribute an obscene reference to everything Trump says that has the word knees in it.
I for one go ON MY KNEES BEFORE GOD every morning and night.

Doesn’t one propose to someone by taking a knee?

I would have image how Jesus was on his knees begging God his father to please take the cup away. He didn’t want to die to forgive all our sins. That is what I see. I get on my knees every time to beg God for forgiveness. Yes I do get on my knees. That is what begging means.

Or, as Trump was speaking to the fact that Romney was begging so hard - at the time he made the remark - it’s not a far stretch to think he meant it in context.

It’s not weird. Trump is the master of the double entendre. He does it often and knows what he is doing when he does it. It gets him free airtime while giving plausible deniability later. Actually, it’s a brilliant tactic that has worked well for him.

It's only a double entendre if he leaves it hanging. He specifically was referring to begging. Look up "Beg" or "begging" in google images. People are on their knees begging. That's the mental image that most of us conjure up when we hear beg and knees in the context that Trump used it.

But the problem is some idiot wrote a headline that left out that information and then more idiots on this thread jumped to the conclusion that he was talking about a blowjob and then those same idiots refuse to acknowledge they were snookered by a headline.

That’s how we got Obama. They refused to vote for Romney, and now they support Trump. Nominating Trump will get us Hillary.

Both suck?
But one’s a loser; the other is a winner.
Big difference.
So, maybe so in your world. And I assume that, since you’re a FReeper, you love the country and the Constitution. From what you say, I take it you’d prefer a different candidate. Me, I’d prefer Cruz over all others, and wish we could have him. He is ideal; but Trump is real. And we need to win.

Well it certainly was off topic. Apparently you have a one topic mind.

Insuggest you read some of the tabloids to see exactly what WAS.going on in the Trump first marriage. He should be commended for NOT dragging her name like the tabloids tried to.

Short story. Trump doesn’t drink (nor do his children) The same thing cannot be said for Ivanna. Do some digging into the dirt before you sling mud. He refused to comment on the many spa trips she took.

I’d say he never really was.

He should be given credit for the efforts to save the Olympics.

But he was a one time loser in Mass. as Governor and implanted the seed for Obamacare.

“I had thought him Christian.”

Apparently you’d thought wrong. “By their fruits... “
