Romney: It's 'Very Possible' Trump Wins, Clinton Is An 'Awful Candidate'

Former GOP nominee Mitt Romney, who has been a frequent critic of Donald Trump, said there is a real chance Trump could win, calling Hillary Clinton an "awful candidate," BuzzFeed News reported Friday.

In an interview on the Radio Free GOP podcast recorded earlier this month, but surfaced by BuzzFeed News on Friday, Romney said that it's "very possible" Trump wins if Clinton has an "implosion."

“To be honest, it’s very possible in my view that Trump wins,” Romney said. “I wouldn’t think it’d be by a landslide, but I think he could win. I think he could lose, I think he could lose by a landslide. But, I don’t know which it’s going to be and a lot of that depends on what happens to Hillary Clinton. Is there a meltdown moment, or some implosion of some kind?”

The former GOP nominee went on to say that he finds Clinton inauthentic, and that she is attempting act like her husband, former President Bill Clinton, in order to gain votes, calling her an "awful candidate."

Last I saw, he lost by 5 million votes and only got 206 ev's. If we want advice on how to lose badly and then become irrelevant then we will give him a call.

Seriously, Mitt, you come off as fake as hell.

At least you are consistently delusional.

Romney indeed figured that HE was a cinch to win four years ago. Being an awful candidate himself, Mitt might have some personal insights into awfulness, although Donald Trump pretty much out-awfuls everyone else in this race.

why are Republicans so hung up on what a thing is called? Why do we have to call it an act of terror by some deadline they make up?

shot at Hillary, but his rationale for Trump winning is that Hillary could "implode", which could theoretically happen to any candidate.
