Romney: 3-man race throws Trump the nomination
CNN ^ | April 18, 2016 | David Gregory

Posted on 04/18/2016 12:54:08 PM PDT by McGruff

Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney is again warning his party of the dangers of a Donald Trump nomination, saying a three-man race likely paves the way for the New York billionaire to capture the nomination on the first ballot of this summer's GOP convention in Cleveland.

The former Massachusetts governor, in an interview on "The David Gregory Show" podcast says Tuesday's New York primary is an important moment in the primary fight.

"If (Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Ted Cruz) are both going at it aggressively until the very end then I think Trump gets it on the first ballot," Romney said.

The GOPe, always the masters of strategy. What a circular firing squad the country club pubbies have become. The only real question is will any of these frumps have the brains or balls to fold and move on to defeating democrats with Trump?

I always said both Rubio and Kasich needed to drop out to stop Trump from winning with a mere plurality. As long as we have two other candidates in the race who are actually electable they will split the sane vote.

Who gives a crap? Most successful businessmen are extremely liberal. You say you hate the rich donors. Who the heck do you think they are? Rich liberal businessmen like Trump. Ones who haven’t yet publically “converted” into self-proclaimed conservatives who now claim to hate corrupt donors.

If Romney had campaigned this hard against The Won four years ago, he’d be running for re-election today.

Sad but so true!

It’s not TRUMP who’s bribing delegates, is it, LOSER?

Name me one delegate who's been bribed by anybody.

I can guarantee you with the sleazeball team Trump has assembled (Stone, Manafort, Lewandoski, etc.), they will be trying hard to bribe the delegates if the nomination is within striking distance.

RomneyCare & ObozoCare BOTH belong to the UniParty.

Trump is the outsider.

Trump is RomneyCare’s enemy.

ObozoCare is RomneyCare’s ally.

I don’t think Romney Trump actually wanted to be president. I don’t think he wanted to have the responsibility...He just wanted the limelight while running...

FIXED IT!

RomneyCare’s enemy who argued hard in favor of nationalized health care for years?

How is this any different from Romney who created Romneycare and then upon entering the primary acted like a fierce critic of Obamacare?

Trump was a very typical New York RINO Republican until recently. He wanted socialized health care, assault weapons bans, higher taxes on the rich, legalization for illegals and he loved bashing G.W. Bush while donating to his opponents...and on most of these points he really hasn’t shifted his views much. He just uses more clever, conniving language that makes it very easy for him to flip back to the other side later and claim he never lied.

“Name me one delegate who’s been bribed by anybody.”

Yeah. Delegates are flocking to Ted Cruz because of his charming personality and boyish good looks.

You keep on believing that.

Good one! For his 144 or so delegates, I say let him be Post Master General Czar!

He can be King of the Mailmen.
