PARK CITY, Utah — Mitt Romney warned here Friday that Donald Trump’s election as president could change the nation’s moral character and lead to the normalization of racism, bigotry and misogyny.
Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee who has been the most vocal leader of the “Never Trump” movement, delivered one of his strongest rebukes yet of Trump’s candidacy in an interview with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer.
“I don’t want to see trickle-down racism,” Romney told Blitzer. “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.”

Whether he recanted or not, I still wouldn’t trust him.
I’d rather see Giuliani or Bolton as SOS.
Yep, this article is 5 months old. Whats up with that?
I want to see bird poop trickle down Romney’s head.
So lets see his AH comments from November 25, 2016 on, instead of these 5 month old articles.
Romney is such a loser.
Secondly, the sports arena such as hockey is filled with fierce rivalries that ultimately result in on ice battles. That is, until a rival is traded to your team. From that point on, all previous hostilities are forgotten and you are now both dedicated to the same outcome.
A successful CEO is able to ignore personal conflicts and look at the big picture and what an individual will bring to the team.
In terms of experience and statesmanship, Romney would be a good pick. But since I'm not the guy making the decision and I am biased as heck, I wouldn't consider Romney for any position in the Trump team........
Romney is now out.
I supported and voted for Mittens in 1994 (vs. Kennedy), 2002 (Governor) and 2012 (against Zerobama). Never again.
He was always the lesser of two evils. Now he is totally unmasked evil. F him and his crocodile tears.
No mercy for him or any of his ilk.
This from a man, Romney, who is a member of a racist religion?
Yes, they are.
Trickle down is rampant among the LDS folks. Their communal doctrine is a cousin of Communism. It works for them but our country doesn’t need any of their members in positions of power.
Screw the Bishop before he screws the US.
yes. I shuddered when I heard Romney was going to be advising Trump.
“...He was always the lesser of two evils....”
Indeed. Those days and that mentality are over.
Still have the useful idiots here on FR helping the WaPo do what it can to put stumbling blocks in Trump’s path - how incredibly pathetic.
Amen!
Romney Unleashes Attack With Gingrich Sole Target
By JEFF ZELENY and JIM RUTENBERGJAN. 23, 2012
The two men even tussled over what would happen to Fidel Castro’s soul upon his death. Asked how he would handle a potential influx of Cubans to American shores, a critical issue to the large Cuban population here in Florida, Mr. Romney said, “You thank heavens that Fidel Castro has returned to his maker.”
But when Mr. Gingrich was posed the same question, he replied, “I don’t think that Fidel’s going to meet his maker — I think he’s going to go to the other place.” He added that he would make “every asset available, including appropriate covert operations,” to ensure the end of the Castro dictatorship in Cuba.
