Mitt Romney took his willingness to support Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz one step further by recording robocalls for the Texas senator.
In the calls, first reported by The Daily Caller, Romney encourages voters in Arizona and Utah to support Cruz. A call targeting Arizona voters was released today and another call will begin ringing in Utah homes tomorrow. Both Utah and Arizona will hold nominating contests tomorrow.
“I’m calling to ask you to join me in supporting Ted Cruz for president this Tuesday in the Utah Republican caucuses. This is the time for Republicans across the spectrum to unite behind Ted,” Romney says in the call targeting Utah voters. "And at this point, a vote for John Kasich is a vote for Donald Trump.”
The calls follow a Facebook post released late last week in which Romney revealed he would be supporting Cruz in the Utah caucuses. Romney, the former Republican presidential nominee, has been a prominent face in the efforts by Republicans to stop Trump.

I think not. He had a lot of people attending his rallies in 2012, including me. He probably thought they were there because they thought he was such a great guy. Wrong! They were there only because he wasn't Obungo.
He's whored himself to whatever non-Trump candidate he thinks can win. When FL and OH voted on the same day the POS made calls into FL for Rubio and OH for Kasich at the same time. He's the biggest bucket of vomit in the world.
Mitt Romney is really sleazy to be behaving like this. I guess people show their true colors eventually.
(sniff)This is the rise of the priesthood!!(weep)
It's more than just illegal immigration. It's North American Integration...and Ted's campaign has signed on major players in that plot from the Bush campaign.
Geez...those buttons on Becks shirt are going to pop and put someone’s eye out!
It is looking like he has gone over to the dark side, isn’t it.
Cruz and Kasich are now just placeholders for the GOPe. Romney directs his calls to vote for Kasich in Ohio and Cruz in Utah. No doubt, he’ll switch back to Kasich when the primaries shift back later to the Northeast.
Yep. And I notice the Cruz supporters around here have abandoned all pretense of him actually getting the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination. Now they’re just buying in to all of the pointless media hype that it’s still likely that Trump will be stopped. They don’t realize that “Trump isn’t going to get the delegates” is just the new false mantra of the #NeverTrump movement and their friends in the media. Just a week ago after Trump’s dominant Tuesday, the immediate (and honest) reactions of most of the better number crunchers was that it’s pretty smooth sailing for Trump from here on out, barring any actual surge in support to stop him. Now, we’re seeing the desperate efforts to generate a surge to act as spoiler for the establishment.
“Anti-establishment outsider” Ted Cruz is now openly a puppet of the GOPe.
I’m not a Mitt Romney fan but that’s his decision, not mine.
I don’t need to be angry with Mitt, I just happen to disagree with him.
Ted Cruz has gotten my support and I won’t diss him.
Neither will I diss Trump which is what is behind Mitt’s new allegiance to Cruz in the tradition of his father who passionately opposed Barry Goldwater in 1964.
Romney’s robocalls at the last minute have been tried before.
George W. Bush recorded phone calls dropped into conservative precincts of Pennsylvania as late as the primary election day itself in 2004 to support Arlen Specter.
We’ll see if these work.
“Hello, this is Mitt Romney, the loser from 2012 calling. It’s Tuesday, March 22 and I want you to vote for Cruz. Now on Tuesday April 5th I’d like you to vote for Kasich, but April 9th do the ol’ switcheroo and vote Cruz; then on April 19th Kasich.
You might want to grab a pen and some paper.”
Hahahaha!
Only if the 50% barrier is broken; otherwise proportional.
Mittens is a dedicated liberal, I'll give him that.
Only in Utah and Arizona. And only in the caucuses. After that, he’s running for President.
Cruz supporters don't have a problem with it; they don't have a problem with the Cruzes' longstanding deep Bush ties; they don't have a problem with Cruz's support of TPP fast-track support or Heidi working directly for the Bush global trade director; and they especially don't have a problem with the Glenn Beck "Cruz-fulfills-the-White-Horse-prophesy" endorsement.
Please don’t pretend to speak for me. As a Cruz supporter, I do have concerns about many of the things you’ve listed.
I’m summarizing comments I’ve read by actual Cruz supporters on FR. You are unique – I haven’t seen any other Cruz supporters who’ve expressed concerns about any of this – and you are to be congratulated.
