Mitt Romney warned of “trickle-down racism” brought by the candidacy of Donald Trump, stressing it’s not any policy position that’s put him in the never Trump camp.

Trump weighed in from afar, saying at a Saturday rally in Tampa that Romney is bitter because he’s a failed presidential candidate who “choked like a dog”. His most recent comments included the “trickle down” statement when Romney called Trump a racist and suggested that his presidency would inspire many more race-related acts of violence and harassment. “I don’t think that’s happened for Donald Trump”, Zwick said, noting that many people on Trump’s finance team lack longterm loyalty to his campaign.
After making such comments, Mitt Romney called into question the character being displayed by the GOP presumptive nominee.
“He’s demonstrated who he is and I’ve decided that a person of that nature should not be the one to, if you will, become the example for coming generations, or the example of America to the world”, he said.
James Baker, a Republican elder statesman and former secretary of state, is scheduled to speak, but Republicans are not the only featured guests. But I’ve said before that I would support Donald Trump if he were the nominee.
“And it needs to figure out how to get folks like us in the room”, Cardenas said.
“I think it was an extraordinarily large mistake on their part not to go after the front-runner from the very beginning and go after him hard”, Romney said.

Asked why he had reached out to Trump for his endorsement when he was running for president in 2012, Romney replied that at that time Trump hadn’t said the things he said this cycle.
Romney has railed against Trump for months, and has remained one of the few Republicans to unequivocally reject the businessman.
“You don’t sit there jealous and sick to your stomach”, he said. Faulconer’s signature piece of legislation, an aggressive climate action plan for San Diego that’s been praised by former Vice President Al Gore, seems unlikely to play well with voters in Republican presidential primaries.
Tieless in a business suit, and having swapping his usual red “Make America Great Again” cap for a black version, Trump was feeling the heat at the campaign stop at Pittsburgh International Airport, where temperatures reached 88 Fahrenheit (31 degrees Celsius). “Many of these donors feel free to support Hillary Clinton”.
What started the latest controversy was comment Donald made as he called into question if Judge Gonzalo Curiel could be impartial based off his Mexican heritage despite hailing from IN and being born to parents who are naturalized US citizens. I want to build a wall…
Trump returned fire on Twitter, of course.

“That’s the whole reason I was running”, he added. “That’s the good news”.
