A popular culprit is former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. His crime? Welcoming Trump's endorsement in Romney’s own race for president in 2012.
.
.
Romney didn’t seek Trump's endorsement because he thought it was worth having so much as he wanted to prevent Trump from making a disruptive kamikaze run.
By sidelining Trump, Romney kept Trump's politics from entering the nation's bloodstream for another four years. If only today's Republican leaders could have done the same.

"My son Tagg came running up the stairs," Romney told the Globe, remembering the day of Trump's CNN interview, in which he blamed a faulty earpiece for his inability to reject the support of the former Ku Klux Klan leader.
"[Tagg] was white in the face," Romney said. "He said can you believe what Donald Trump has said? And I was shocked as well. I contacted my colleagues, my advisers, and counselors and said: 'I'm giving a speech. I'm going to give it as soon as I can.'"
“Romney didn’t seek Trump’s endorsement because he thought it was worth having so much as he wanted to prevent Trump from making a disruptive kamikaze run.”
Pure, flaming BS.

Pure, flaming BS.
The GOPe has no one to blame but themselves. Pussyism is no way to lead.
I blame Romney for Romney. And the GOPe.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
And with that point, Romney is a nobody in this race.
Maybe if girly man fought harder he wouldn’t be such a loser.
is a former journalist and political consultant who
was a top aide to 2012 U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Any respect I had for Romney, which wasn’t much to begin with, disappeared when he came out with the speech against Trump. Totally classless.
same here.
Well, if we can’t blame Romney for Trump, can we blame Trump for Romney? After all, Romney was a quiet as a churchmouse until Trump started to look like he just might win the needed delegates to become the nominee of Romney’s beloved Republicrat Party.
“”My son Tagg came running up the stairs,” Romney told the Globe”
Sounds like his son, Fagg, still lives at home. How old is Fagg? 8?
These damn elite bastards STILL don’t get it!!! They ALL have betrayed us!!! Trump supporters did not start out supporting Trump,but as these damn elitists started screaming about the border and being racist WE jumped on the Trump train!!!! They DON’T give a damn about this nations souvernity or the voters who pay their damn salaries!!!
Mitt Romney speaks with his traveling press secretary Eric Fehrnstrom
If you think Mitt Romney is too mild, too “golly gee,” too Mormon, to survive the shark tank of a modern presidential campaign, his answer is Eric Fehrnstrom. He’s Mitt’s most trusted adviser and the guy whom Romney turns to when someone’s leg needs breaking. (Figuratively, of course.) If Karl Rove was Bush’s brain, then Fehrnstrom gives his boss what he most dearly needs—a backbone.....................
Fehrnstrom, 50, is both the wise man and the hothead. He wears the uniform of the modern political consultant—iPad tucked in the crook of his arm, open-collared shirt, rectangular-framed glasses—but his fleshy face and thick New England accent betray a rougher core. And far from reining in Romney, he performs the opposite service for his client: Fehrnstrom toughens him up. “Eric gives Mitt a capability that Mitt doesn’t have,” says Ben Coes, Romney’s campaign manager in 2002. “It’s a streetwise savvy; it’s an on-the-ground Boston-smarts mentality; it’s a back-alley-politics, survival-of-the-fittest point of view. Mitt is not a knife fighter. Eric is a knife fighter.”
Boston Globe, NY Daily News, NY Times, MSNBC - all virulent Trump-haters. They are simply incapable of being objective.
These people will go suicidal when Trump beats Hillary in November.
Most of the RINOs have at least been pretending to listen to conservatives, Romney didn’t even make the pretense. He made sure conservatives didn’t even have a voice at the 2012 convention.
Eric Ferhnstrom is another propagandist for The Cheap Labor Express.
They really don’t want the citizens to elect anyone who would stop the people pipeline.
They intend to deny the citizens the opportunity to keep the rule of law or our country.
I blame Romney for Obama II.
I don’t blame Romney for anything. How can you blame a tool?
so Romney ran to save us from Trump? Then why didn’t he win? what a load of diaper goods from a choker
