Well, yeah, Mitt was never a real “leader.”
Just a big “never-Trump” shouter.
Mitt Romney came to Arizona to help out a fellow Senate hopeful and he ended up getting in a jam himself.
The former presidential candidate and governor headlined a rally for Rep. Martha McSally on Friday in Gilbert, Arizona, to help boost her campaign to fill the Senate seat being left open by Sen. Jeff Flake’s departure, but comments Romney made after the event have drawn some criticism.
When Romney was asked what happened with his efforts to stop Donald Trump from becoming president in 2016, Romney denied being a leader in the so-called “never Trump” movement.
“I don’t think that was the case,” Romney said.
That description runs counter to what many remember from the 2016 campaign.
The most notable instance of Romney expressing his displeasure with Trump’s candidacy came in March 2016, when he held a news conference laying out a plan for voters in various states to help block Trump from winning the party’s nomination.
“Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud,” Romney told an audience at the University of Utah at the time. In the speech, he suggested viewers play the delegate process against Trump, meaning, he said, that voters should cast their primary ballots for “whichever one of the other two contenders has the best chance of beating Mr. Trump in a given state.”….
All he had to do was say, Trump’s successes as President have changed my mind. He has been a good President and the GOP is poised for continued success. Vote for McSally. Thank you.
But No. Never Trumpers can’t fathom the possibility of crediting Trump with successes.
The case of the Bad Liar.
