Romney loyalists ponder a future with Trump

Donald Trump’s top supporter in the Senate says it was a “rough week” for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee because it got the candidate off message.

Speaking to a crowd of roughly 300 political and business leaders at his annual summit in Park City, Romney said he anxious about the example a Trump presidency might set for future generations, that it would lead to “trickle-down racism”.

After enduring days of criticism from Republican congressional leaders including House Speaker Paul Ryan for his complaints that a US judge of Mexican heritage was biased because of ethnicity, Trump said it was time for the party to get behind him.

Trump is setting a unsafe example for Americans by promoting “trickle-down racism”, and the party must look beyond this presidential election to find its future, the 2012 nominee Mitt Romney told the same group later that morning.

He also criticized Ohio Governor John Kasich for dividing the anti-Trump vote by staying too long in the race.

Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney can’t bring himself to bear with the choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump saying Saturday that the choices are breaking his heart. “I think that’s the frustration many people in this room and many people around the country feel”, he went on. “Now he calls me racist – but I am the least racist person there is”.

“Their biggest failure was attacking each other and not the frontrunner”, Romney said.

Despite his endorsement eight years ago, Trump and the failed 2008 Republican nominee Mitt Romney are not on the best of terms. Ted Cruz, who Romney belatedly endorsed in the campaign, for initially praising Trump before the two became staunch enemies in the campaign’s final weeks.

And at a rally in Tampa, Fla., on Saturday, Trump said Romney should have gone “off into the sunset” after his 2012 loss. “I love what this country is built upon and its values and seeing this is breaking my heart”, Romney said.

“I would love to see the Republican Party come together”, Zwick said. Romney said he thought the conspiracy theory “nutty” but not so noxious as to merit disavowal. “I mean, you get an underreported story how there were 800 people in the Clinton campaign and there are only 70 in the Trump campaign”, Manafort said.

“The guy’s a stone cold loser, a choker”, Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, said about Romney at a rally in Tampa, Fla. Mr. Trump and his team have established an action plan that does not allow any negative or any contradictory advice, because he has support from the majority of the voting public who believe he can “Make America Great Again”.

“I have dogs. I don’t know dogs choking”, Romney said to laughs.

“Had there been a President Bush or a President (Marco) Rubio or a President (Scott) Walker, I might’ve been happy to be a part of their administration”, Romney said.

“I think they’re sitting in their little cocoon away from the reality of the world”, Manafort said of the group of donors Romney gathered at a confab in Utah this past week.
