Video: Romney Denounces Trump, and Trump Responds
Mitt Romney pleaded with Republicans to support a presidential candidate other than Donald Trump, and Mr. Trump swiftly responded.The pot calls the kettle black.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/04/opinion/clash-of-republican-con-artists.html
"So
Republicans are going to nominate a candidate who talks complete
nonsense on domestic policy; who believes that foreign policy can be
conducted via bullying and belligerence; who cynically exploits racial
and ethnic hatred for political gain.
But
that was always going to happen, however the primary season turned out.
The only news is that the candidate in question is probably going to be
Donald Trump. Establishment Republicans denounce Mr. Trump as a fraud,
which he is. But is he more fraudulent than the establishment trying to
stop him? Not really." . . .
