Trump could change character of US, Romney says

Trump, a billionaire businessman from NY, has propelled himself as the presumptive Republican nominee by framing himself as an anti-establishment outsider.

Ryan cited the increased pressure put on him by House members in districts where Republican voters strongly support Trump.

“Now he calls me racist-but I am least racist person there is”, Trump tweeted. “I will do everything in my power, and I will work as hard as I can, to make sure that Donald Trump does not become president of the United States”. “Presidents have an impact on the nature of our nation and trickle down racism, trickle down bigotry and trickle down misogyny, all of these things are extraordinarily unsafe to the heart and character of America”, the former GOP presidential nominee said.

Whoa, did a Republican just admit that misogyny exists?

Many Republicans, such as Romney, leery of their presumptive nominee, now appear more determined than ever to oppose him, and others have said they would have to reconsider their support.

“Ted Cruz was basically praising Donald Trump through the whole process”, Romney told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, who was hosting the discussion.

Romney’s condemnation, made here at the Stein Eriksen Lodge before hundreds of his donors and business partners, highlighted the ill will between the last two GOP nominees for president.

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

“I think these guys are spiraling into utter irrelevance”, he said. He declined to criticize previous speakers, including House Speaker Paul Ryan and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, who pitched Trump to the well-heeled crowd this weekend, and said he would not try and sway the GOP elites assembled here to abandon their nominee. SCOTUS too important to lose for generations. “So there’s something in those taxes that’s even worse than shooting someone on Fifth Avenue”. That assumes, of course, that Trump is not the incumbent president getting ready to run for reelection. “But my choice is different than that of the other people, and I’m certainly not going to argue with them about their choice”. But former Republican Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was also belittled as a “stone cold loser” for his refusal to endorse Trump’s candidacy. “How do you stop a guy(i.e. Trump) who got 3.5 million more votes than Mitt Romney did in the primaries?”

“I never met Meg Whitman, but the job she is doing at Hewlett-Packard is not a very good one”, he said in a statement via his spokeswoman, Hope Hicks.

But if Romney had ran?

“Had I been in the race, I can assure you I would have taken him on”, he said.
