Mitt Romney Says He’s ‘Repulsed’ By Donald Trump, Will Vote For Ted Cruz

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican nominee, announced on Friday he would vote for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the upcoming Utah caucus and said he was “repulsed” by what Trump had brought into the presidential race.

Romney stopped short of endorsing Cruz, but said that voting for the Texas senator, who is second in the delegate count for the Republican nomination, was the best chance of blocking Trump from winning.

“The only path that remains to nominate a Republican rather than Mr. Trump is to have an open convention. At this stage, the only way we can reach an open convention is for Senator Cruz to be successful in as many of the remaining nominating elections as possible,” Romney wrote on Facebook.

“Today, there is a contest between Trumpism and Republicanism. Through the calculated statements of its leader, Trumpism has become associated with racism, misogyny, bigotry, xenophobia, vulgarity and, most recently, threats and violence,” he wrote. “I am repulsed by each and every one of these.”

1. One religious nutcase declares he will vote for another religious nutcase.

[BillZBubb]

2. But he's not repulsed by cruz?

That's some pretty selective repulsion. They are both odious, but cruz is the most dangerous.

[Lucky Luciano]

13. Seems like gamesmanship- he didn't endorse Cruz.

Tge game is to block trump from getting the majority of delegates which can lead to a brokered convention.

[potone]

24. By far!

Trump doesn't seem to believe in anything except himself, so he could be influenced by competent advisers. Cruz is a dangerous religious maniac who is incapable of compromising. The thought of him as president makes my blood run cold.

27. ^^^This^^^^^^^^^^^^^

100% agree on the first 2 sentences. Don't agree with the last, though. Think Donald is more dangerous because he would destroy us for his own profit and ego. There's no telling what craziness would happen. Cruz is very dangerous and either one could wreck our world. Why didn't Mittens support someone with a greater level of sanity that krazy klown #2? I don't understand and truly don't care. Mittens is irrelevant and won't move the needle one way or the other.

29. "Why didn't Mittens support someone with a greater level of sanity... "

Because there isn't one?

[lark]

30. KAISCH (SP?)

He's the most sane klown in the kar, but that's not saying a whole lot.

[DhhD]

32. He too, is would be an enforcer of knee bending and confessing if the Constitution was shelved by

any member of the kar that sat in the Oval Office. See my reply below.

[3catwoman3]

34. From everything I read, it seems...

...he is just better at masking it with a veneer of affability. The first couple of times I heard him speak, I was marginally hopeful that that there was perhaps one Republican hopeful who wasn't a rabid, batshit RWNJ. That marginal hopefulness did not last long.

31. Here is why: Mormonism and Dominionism have beliefs in common.

Understanding Mormonism Theocracy and Dominionism

snip
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

This passage from Phillipians 2:10,11 KJV is key to understanding dominionist thinking in Christianity. It literally claims that in heaven and earth, everyone will bow and confess Jesus as Lord.

To accomplish this, the Church is the ultimate corporation. Tax free cash in the form of 10% tithing receipts and a male priesthood order that is organized around the world like an Aryan Wehrmacht. Branches, Wards (congregations), Stakes (Dioceces), Regions and Missions with Command Central in Salt Lake City; control businesses, economies, communities and governments through it's sheer organizational prowess, power and outreach. The Church rivals only the Federal government and The Catholic Church in real estate holdings. Because the church does not release any financial reports, no one can accurately determine the wealth and income of The Church.

United Order and All Republican Dominionist seeking the Presidency are very dangerous.

[Hortensis]

35. Here you go. I only wonder that Mitt

doesn't suspect Cruz could be one of Satan's agents. Money and corporate power aside, of course.

[wordpix]

28. my R bro is for Cruz, too, as the anti-Trump

Bro is an urban, moderate, Harvard-educated businessman, non-religious, and he's supporting that nutcase. I am trying to get him to vote Hilalry and he says he might. Would love to see her go up against Crazy Cruz who is the most unpopular senator in Congress.

[dbackjon]

3. We are repulsed by you, Mittens!

And wait, voting in Utah?

I thought you were a Mass Resident?

[dbackjon]

4. Um, Mittens

“Today, there is a contest between Trumpism and Republicanism. Through the calculated statements of its leader, Trumpism has become associated with racism, misogyny, bigotry, xenophobia, vulgarity and, most recently, threats and violence,” he wrote. “I am repulsed by each and every one of these.”


You just described the Republican Party to a T. Trumpism IS Republicanism.

[Blasphemer]

5. Wow... they are openly expressing their brokered convention strategy

Let the games begin!

[liberal N proud]

6. Out of the fire into frying pan

Either one will burn!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. And Ted Cruz *isn't* repulsive?

[markj757]

8. I guess Mr. 47% isn't repulsed....

by calling half the country takers who just want free stuff. I guess demeaning half of the American people who don't make 55K a year, or enough to pay income taxes, but pay all kind of other taxes including sales taxes isn't repulsive. Your just as much to blame for Trump leading your Republican primary as anybody else. You could have taken the high road and set a better example as you ran for president, but your convention and your campaign was filled with a bunch of hate mongering and mild racist innuendo as well, just a little bit more palatable and more politically correct than Trump. And how can we forget your version of a wall, Mr Self Deport. Fuck you and your backwards ass party, because all of you are getting exactly what you deserve....Mr Donald fucking Trump!

It's the 'Hungry for Power Games.'"

10. Does Mittens get to vote in each of the states he has mansions?

[hibbing]

25. Only two of them...

The one with the car elevator, and the one with that houses his priceless binder full of women.

Peace

[Renew Deal]

11. And his party's voters made this repulsive choice

He should look inward to see if he had a role in it.

[Kelvin Mace]

12. I am repulsed by Cthulhu

and will vote for Nyarlathotep.

[LiberalElite]

15. I've only heard of Cthulhu - you mean there's a choice?

[Kelvin Mace]

20. Oh, yeah

Ithaqua, Azathoth, The Render of Veils... The whole GOP.

[LiberalElite]

14. Mitty did you really mean this

"...contest between Trumpism and Republicanism." Your solution to this situation is to vote for Crazy Cruz.
IOW Cruz is Republicanism and Republicanism is Cruz. Glad that's out in the open now.

[tomm2thumbs]

16. oh Mittsy

[840high]

17. Mitt - look in the mirror.

[elmac]

18. Just another endorsement for Trump

voters will like Trump even more now that Rummy is against him.

[Reter]

23. Not in Utah

Trump will get creamed by Cruz there.

[JoFerret]

19. Repulsed by Drumpf but

not repulsed by Cruz? What is wrong with these people? Drumpf is indeed the stubby fingered vulgarian. But name three redeeming features of Cruz? Name one....

[6000eliot]

21. There's a whole lot of repulsive in this story,

and it isn't limited to Trump.

[Enrique]

22. Trump is even worse than store-bought cookies!

[Javaman]

26. trump faded into the background with that bizarre speech.

as if he is some sort of paragon of doing good.

he is now the human version of bad wallpaper.

[StraightRazor]

33. Weird, in Ohio he was campaigning for Kasich -

I think Mitt is 'repulsed' by whomever his puppet masters decide he's repulsed by depending on the situation.

When will the GOP realize that Romney is not a 'leader' in their party (or anywhere else for that matter), and no one on either side gives a damn what he has to say. It's sad that he's all they got as their 'go to guy'.
