Romney says Trump will change America with 'trickle-down racism'
CNN ^ | June 10, 2016 | Theodore Schleifer

Park City, Utah (CNN) — Mitt Romney suggested Friday that Donald Trump's election could legitimize racism and misogyny, ushering in a change in the moral fabric of American society.

The 2012 Republican nominee, who has openly opposed Trump's candidacy, went further than he has before in outlining to CNN's Wolf Blitzer how the country's character would suffer in a Trump White House. Trump's rhetoric has caused even some other Republicans to label him a racist, and Romney said he would not be able to paper over his incendiary remarks.

"I don't want to see trickle-down racism" Romney said in an interview here in a suite overlooking the Wasatch Mountains, where he is hosting his yearly ideas conference. "I don't want to see a president of the United States saying things which change the character of the generations of Americans that are following. Presidents have an impact on the nature of our nation, and trickle-down racism, trickle-down bigotry, trickle-down misogyny, all these things are extraordinarily dangerous to the heart and character of America."

Romney, who actively sought to recruit an independent, third-party challenger to Trump, also conceded that a credible candidate will not emerge. But he did show a new openness to one non-Trump candidate, libertarian Gary Johnson, whom he did not rule out voting for.

Romney is insane.


Nope. He’s a Democrat. A vile and America hating Democrat. It’s becoming clear Romney hates America every bit as much as the Kenyan. He would not wish 8 years of Hillary on us if he loved this country.

The corporate liberal speaks.

This son of a bitch is as crazy as any wild eyed liberal in the Democrat party.

And just remember, his contempt is for Trump voters also.

Utah Congresswoman Mia Love is Mormon. Also, Romney is still a competent manager and businessman. He probably should have picked Tim Pawlenty as his VP in 2012 instead of Ryan. Pawlenty could have made the Midwest closer than Ryan because Pawlenty is more well known in the Midwest and was a governor like Romney. Romney is probably jealous of Trump, that’s all.

Romneykins proving yet again that he is a mealy mouthed soft minded liberal Democrat masquerading as a RINO.

He is working to elect Shrillary. What a disgusting cretin you are, Mittens.

I think it is jealousy on Romney’s part. Deep in his heart of hearts, Romney knows that Trump is going to win. It must be killing him. Too bad, Romney had his big chance and he blew it.

Utah Rep. Mia Love (R) will vote for Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz in Tuesday’s primary caucus...

The announcement comes just days after 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney, who lost against President Barack Obama’s re-election bid, announced that he would register a vote for Cruz in an effort to prevent frontrunner Donald Trump from securing the nomination.

I once thought Mia Love was the cat's meow, now not so much.

Romney's such a horrible person but he washes all that way with his undying love and total blindness for all people who are NOT white. That's his justification for being an assh*le - he's LOOOOOOOVES blacks and browns and knows they are PERFECTION THAT MUST NOT BE CRITICIZED - - EVER.. What he's doing is a form of racism... but he's clueless.
