Mitt Romney has ruled out an independent bid for president, and is not actively recruiting any more potential candidates to do so at the moment, though he remains hopeful someone will emerge, allies told Yahoo News Tuesday.
Romney “feels like America hangs in the balance. He’s very distraught about [Trump],” said one Romney adviser. “He thinks Trump is this vulgar, dangerous, principle-less, value-less opportunist — putting it mildly.”
The 2012 Republican nominee for president has been the most outspoken GOP figure continuing to steadfastly oppose Trump. Romney has been asked to consider running for president himself, but did not seriously consider it, those who know him said. But he remains alarmed at the prospect of a Trump candidacy, even as hope appears to be fading that any alternative can be found.

Romney's supposed reasons for opposing Trump make no sense. The only reason that makes sense is Romney wants Hillary Clinton to win.
Jealousy........
Romney behind closed doors, with tears in his eyes, “The people LOVE him!!! Why don’t they love me?????”
I wish Romney had fought this hard AGAINST obama when he had the chance.
Now shut the f*ck up.
Go away Mitt. You lost. We don't need your advice, ideas, money, enthusiasm, or anything. Everything you do has shown that you are a stooge for the Democrats, whether you are aware of it or not.
He thinks Trump has no values or principles and is an opportunist? Hypocrite
They still don't get it. They just don't get it. They refuse to believe why Trump happened is because of them - only them. Through their decades of lies, decades of subterfuge, decades of plundering, decades of eroding our freedom and the decades and centuries through which they want to continue that treachery. Opportunist? Yes, maybe. However, we see it as the last 'opportunity' to put these quisling, dissembling liars back in Pandora's Box and shut the effing lid tight, tight, tight. End them.
STFU and quit helping Hillary.
If Mittens had only fought as hard against Obama as is he doing against Trump, he would be running for re-election today.
Its pure spite that brought him out of the cold.
Romney is a plutocratic ass. It is that simple.
The Plastic Man accuses Trump of being inauthentic.
Mitt has found a very comfortable niche in the JV team of the Uniparty.
Donald Trump poses an existential threat to the Uniparty.
Therefore, Mitt thinks Trump must be destroyed.
Romney creates the model for Obamacare, and wonders why we don’t like him. Just go away, please.
Right you are, Gaffer. Romney has no one to blame but himself and the other moderate centrist (aka Democrat in all but party affiliation) quislings running the Republican Party.
They get it. The Rinos just don’t want to lose the appropriations check book.
“Romney “feels like America hangs in the balance. He’s very distraught about [Trump],” said one Romney adviser. “He thinks Trump is this vulgar, dangerous, principle-less, value-less opportunist — putting it mildly.””
From a guy who runs a company that carves up smaller companies and sells the pieces. Rumor has it Bain Capital needs a bailout.that’s what this is all about.
I really don’t think so. If they did understand it they’d realize they are completely out come November. If they understood, they’d be up Trump’s arse trying to resurrect their second tier status to be subservient to him and his new administration. Keep some of the power - even if it is lesser.
They lack the capacity to grow beyond what they’ve become and they are believing their own lies because we all believed them for so long.
Would any of these hypotheses make more sense?
1. In comparison to Trump, Romney is a total failure in the private sector. Romney's "success" was tearing apart companies, ruining people's lives, and profiting from it. And now Trump has left Romney, in comparison, as a total failure in the political arena. That leaves Romney in the history books as a broken man, instead of his intent of achieving what his father could not.
2. Research "Romney and Bain Capital". There's some mention about some upcoming lawsuits against Romney. If he has no clout with pols and legal judgements, it could be financial disaster, perhaps even RICO violations.
3. Romney sees himself as superior and ordained. He really didn't think the "lower 47%" were worthy of his campaigning. Now you've got Trump bringing it to the voters. Romney finds that uncouth and demeaning.
4. Romney's no conservative. His goal is globalist elites acquiring as much power and wealth as possible, while marginalizing and incapacitating the rights and opportunities of anyone he deems unworthy. He's a total tool of the "invisible hand".
5. All of the above.
Kind of what I think of Romney.
Does anyone get the impression that despite Trump being extremely rich, their opposition to him has roots in elitism and snobbishness? They seem to look down on him precisely because he appeals to middle class and blue collar people. This election is Caddyshack. Trump plays Rodney Dangerfield's character, and Romney plays Ted Knight's character.
George along with Nelson Rockefeller and William Scanton sabotage the candidacy of Barry Goldwater.
They didn't care if it was a total destruction of the Republican Party down the ticket
Mitt, never a conservative or a compassionate person at Bain Capital bought companies and laid of American workers
As Governor of Massachusetts he did two unforgivable things, Romeycare and claim he did vote for Reagan-Bush because at that time he was an independent and now as a Republican he would work hard to stop Reagan/Bush as a Republican to stop Reagan/Bush.
It seems the boy loved his nutter of a father and tried to emulate his actions to hurt the Republican Party.
