A day after his public attack on Republican front-runner Donald Trump, former presidential candidate Mitt Romney hinted that he might soon endorse one of Trump's rivals.
"There's no question I'm going to do everything within the normal political bounds to make sure we don't nominate Donald Trump," the former Massachusetts governor said on NBC's "Today" show Friday morning. "After March 15, I think you'll see it narrow down."
"I wouldn't be surprised if I endorse one of those guys," he added.
CNN reported Thursday that Romney has asked his team to explore how he might block Trump from being nominated at the Republican convention later this year. But Romney didn't address those efforts on the "Today" show.
But he did repeat that he is not interested in running himself for the nomination.
"No, no, the people who can save this party are Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or John Kasich," he said. "There are no circumstances I can foresee where that would possibly happen."
When asked how he'd vote if it came down to Trump versus Hillary Clinton, Romney said he wouldn't vote for either.
"I wouldn't vote for Donald Trump and I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton. I intend to vote for our nominee," Romney said.
Kiss of death.
I think he’ll endorse Cruz
They are both for the TPA.
An endorsement from a loser. That’s like getting a disease from someone.
Normal bounds?
When did the loser candidate from the last election ever attack the current front runner for his party’s nomination?
The fix is in
Hey Mitt. Eat sh*t and die.
Whoever he endorses will crash in flames.
He’s too smart to endorse President Trump.
"I wouldn't vote for Donald Trump and I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton. I intend to vote for our nominee," Romney said.
The fix is in
Before or after the nomination?
Like we give a $8&% who Romney endorses!
..the speech was a Plan C testing of the waters for a possible brokered convention candidacy IMO. It was a trial balloon—and it flew like the Hindenburg in NJ...
hmmmmm......my oh my oh my.....I wonder.....which one WILL it be??? /SUPERsarc
“No, no, the people who can save this party are Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or John Kasich,”
Is he talking about the ‘party’ that made Trump sign a non-competition agreement, and now is trying to destroy him, and has admitted so publicly ?
Talk about a breach of contract.
Shouldn’t Cruz disavow this endorsement? Since he’s so anti establishment and all.
I have to say, it’s almost unanimous that Romney made a fool of himself and looked like a buffoon - with the exception of Haley.
Double talking duplicitous bullsh!t, frankly. “Nominee” my a$$. I am very ashamed I voted for him in 2012.
That’s about the size of it. If Romney is the nominee. I’m staying home.
Well, luckily mittens won’t be backing my nominee.
