Mitt Romney said Sunday that GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz winning two primary states this weekend proves the Texas senator can stop front-runner Donald Trump, but declined to rule out his own White House scenario.
Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and the Republicans' 2012 presidential nominee, repeated remarks from last week, telling “Fox News Sunday” that he wouldn’t launch an eleventh-hour campaign for president. But he declined to reject being “drafted” at the GOP convention in July to be the party’s general election candidate.
“It would be absurd to say that if I were drafted I’d say no,” Romney said. “We have four strong people running for the nomination. One of them will be the nominee.”
Romney has occasionally weighed in on the 2016 GOP race. But he emerged in full force Thursday when he gave a speech in which he called Trump a “phony” and urged voters to instead back an establishment candidate like Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio or Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

The word from Romney is anybody but Trump.
Form Meet the Press...
Romney told Chuck Todd on Meet the Press on Sunday he is willing to throw his weight around for the three “real Republicans” remaining in the race: Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich.
“They have demonstrated over time they share conservative values. I’d be very proud having any one of them at the top of the ticket,” Romney said. “Donald Trump on the other hand is someone who represents something entirely different — and in my view is not at all the real deal.”

Scumbag Mitt(I predict that this Tuesday is going to be a much better day for Mr. Trump than yesterday was, especially in the state of Michigan, where Greasy-GOOPee-Gunk Romney was born.)
Is full of s#@t!
Trump needs to focus. At the same time, Romney will hand this to Clinton. I’m convinced that is his desire.
I understand romnuts wanting anyone but trump but writing that Cruz is part of the establishment is false.
Keep dreaming.
But even close.
