I don't think voters care whether Trump thinks Romney is a Mormon.

I find it an interesting comment on character when Trump complains about the Pope commenting on his faith, but then he turns around and questions other people’s faith.
Rules for thee but not for me????

It was a quick joke and nothing more. But the PC police blow everything out of proportion.

I don’t know whether or not Romney is Mormon, but I damn well know without a shred of doubt he is a liberal Democrat.

Trump has little control over his mouth or his mind.
He says the first thing he thinks which gives one a clue as to how his mind works.
He’s a crude dude with a lot of hate in him.

It’s a joke.
He said it about Romney.
In Utah.
To: reaganaut1
Now is this Romney the same jackass who questioned EVERYTHING about Trump and moved into gratuitous insults a week or two ago?
Whining little punk.
Trump said Mormons work hard. Romney was lazy. We sure he’s really a Mormon?
It wasn’t questioning his faith. That’s gay.

It was a joke. He said "Hey, I like you Mormons, you are smart people! Mitt Romney? He's not so smart. Are you sure he's one of you? LOL"
Geez, lighten up. Again, it was a joke. He's having a little fun at Romney's expense. Romney deserves 100 times that and more.

He is probably just saying it to get a reaction out of Romney.
To: tirednvirginia
This actually fits in with Dilbert creator Scott Adams' read on Trump using hypnosis and persuasion techniques. For Adams, the strongest bond is identity, so Trump attempts to undermine the identity bond between Mormon Utahns and Mitt Romney, who endorsed my preferred candidate Cruz.
It probably won't work, but it doesn't really hurt Trump anywhere else. If I were a Mormon, I'd want nothing to do with Romney or Reid. I'm a Catholic, and if Trump spoke similarly about Nancy Pelosi, I'd cheer him on.

Pretty sure he was joking since Romney is usually careful not to say he is a Mormon or LDS, unless he is trying to get voters in Utah. I believe through most of Romney’s campaigns he always gave his religion as Christian, not LDS or Mormon.
The odd thing is several of my LDS/Mormon friends have said that Romney is not a “real” Mormon, not sure what they mean by that. I don’t discuss religion with them, so I don’t ask what they mean.

Romney fought against Reagan as a democrat. That is a fact.
His ol man-the GD shyster, destroyed Goldwaters chances in the 60s.

I saw it as humor. In simple terms:
Mormon equals smart
Romney equals dumb
Therefore Romney does not equal mormon

I think they ought to look at Cruz’s beliefs not Mitt’s. We all know he is Mormon. I went to high school with some relatives of his back in the ‘70’s. Same last name, huge Mormon family.

Why do Republican candidates continue to have themselves interviewed by a (former) Clinton employee, Clinton communications director, and Clinton Foundation contributor???
At least they could do themselves a favor and point out the blatant conflict of interest for the low information viewers.
“Well, George, since you are a former Clinton employee and one of their close friends, and you recently donated to Hillary’s phony foundation without disclosing it to your current employer and viewers, I think you can understand.....”

I've heard very similar jokes among conservative Mormon friends, FWIW. And even harsher.
They are a people able to laugh at themselves and Trump knows it.
