Romney, the party's nominee in 2012, will urge Americans "to make the right choices" and not support the GOP front runner during a speech he'll give today at 11:30 a.m. ET at the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics Forum.

I wonder which candidate ROmney wants Americans to support?

Republicans trapped

The Republican Party is on the verge of being taken over by an egomaniac who appeals to the nation's darkest impulses. Yet Donald Trump's foes are splintered, tactically but also philosophically.   

     It doesn't help that each of his three serious challengers is a flawed alternative. None is sufficiently dominant to force the others aside.

     Sen. Ted Cruz has the most legitimate claim as a Trump-slayer. He's now beaten him in four contests. Yet Cruz is so disliked by so many party leaders that they have refused to rally behind him. Indeed, many in the GOP view Cruz as being nearly as vulnerable to Hillary Clinton as Trump is. She took a large step toward securing the Democratic nomination with her seven victories over Bernie Sanders on Super Tuesday.

     The Republican establishment plainly prefers Sen. Marco Rubio, but voters have not gone along. Rubio did manage to win the Minnesota caucuses. But he ran third in eight of the other 10 states that voted Tuesday and has lost 14 times since the nomination battle began.

     Gov. John Kasich may well be the party's strongest potential general-election candidate. But his relative moderation has so far marginalized him in an increasingly right-wing party. Only in Vermont, one of the few states where a less strident brand of conservatism still plays well in the GOP, did Kasich put up a fierce challenge to Trump. Still, Kasich lost.

Mitt Romney, now one of Trump's leading antagonists, warmly welcomed Trump's endorsement in the 2012 presidential campaign.

While most suspected Trump of being an megalomaniacal windbag, no one knew he was prone to such bigotry and extremism.

I think Trump will eventually win the GOP nomination. He will not beat Hillary since some of the stuff he supports like health care, Planned Parenthood, Medicare, Social Security are all democratic talking points...and why vote for a Republican who supports some democratic issues when you can easily vote for a democrat....

He cannot beat her simply because the nonsense he does in the regional races will not play on the national stage. He has already outraged his own party with a dozen or so senators saying they will not support him. If he generates that much disgust among the leaders of his own party and he would be officially be their  leader if he wins, he has a revolt on his hands in his own house. Hillary is very smart, she will not be baited and she will simply suffocate him with her broad based skill set and knowledge of the issues. Blustering and claims of being the best with no substance behind it will not work on the national stage.

And I respect your opinion.  The people will decide!!  I think it could be uphill for him, unless Hillary blows up and gets indicted!!

However, thus far, he has my vote!!

Let's see what the IT server dude going to testify about. He's got immunity. I think he will take the fall for Hillary.

Au contraire, Trump is not running democratic issues.  He says he will not change medicare and social security.  The democrats say they will.  But they have been saying that they will do it for years now and they haven't changed a thing.  The economic gurus have long predicted that the Social Security trust fund will run out by the year 2030 if it is not reformed. 

Interesting. These are the establishment Democrats and Republicans who have for decades know what's best for other nations. They schemed with murder for the rest of world. And, now dey want to do it to America. How will they have the nerve to proclaim democracy to the despots of the world.

These chaps are fearful of the loss of their elite position for a Republican win. 

I hope God isn't too angry wid America and He is looking in. History had this played out once already-the Romans. Lets hope dey doan assassinate The Trump. For the good of white folks, he must overcome whatever is laid ahead of him. 

Is it possible for small civil disobedience in the streets of the great USA.

Romney brands Donald Trump 'a phoney, a fraud'

Steve Peoples and Brady McCombs, The Associated Press,  Published Thursday, March 3, 2016 9:11AM EST,  Last Updated Thursday, March 3, 2016 12:04PM EST,  http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/ro...ey-a-fraud-1.2802106

CTV News Channel: Romney tears into Trump

SALT LAKE CITY -- Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Thursday that the prospects for a safe future are "greatly diminished" if Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee for U.S. president.

Speaking at the University of Utah, Romney warned a packed auditorium that any of the other GOP candidates would be a better alternative to the billionaire businessman.

"The only serious policy proposals that deal with the broad range of national challenges we confront today, come from Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and John Kasich," Romney said of Trump's GOP rivals. "One of these men should be our nominee."

Romney is charging into the increasingly divisive White House race with a verbal lashing of Donald Trump and a plea for fellow Republicans to shun the front-runner for the good of country and party.

"His is not the temperament of a stable, thoughtful leader. His imagination must not be married to real power," Romney said.

Romney branded Trump as "a phoney, a fraud" whose "promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University" in his speech.

Earlier Thursday, Trump dismissed Romney as "a stiff" who "didn't know what he was doing" as the party's candidate in 2012 and blew a chance to beat President Barack Obama. "People are energized by what I'm saying" in the campaign and turning out in remarkable numbers to vote, Trump told NBC's "Today."

The back-and-forth comes as Republican candidates prepared for the first post-Super Tuesday debate, scheduled for Thursday in Detroit, with Trump coming under increasing pressure from his party as he fights for the majority of delegates needed to win the nomination.

Thursday's condemnation and counter was coming four years after the two men stood side by side in Las Vegas, with Trump saying it was a "real honour and privilege" to endorse Romney's White House bid. Accepting, Romney said it was a "delight" to have Trump on his side and praised him for ability to "understand how our economy works and to create jobs for the American people."

Panicked GOP leaders say they still have options for preventing Trump from winning the GOP nomination - just not many good ones.

Romney also said that a Trump nomination at the party's convention in Cleveland in July would enable Democrat Hillary Clinton to win the presidency. He contended that Trump "has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president."

Romney's involvement comes as party elites pore over complicated delegate math, outlining hazy scenarios for a contested convention and even flirting with the long-shot prospect of a third party option.

Giving Romney the back of his hand, Trump turned his sights on the general election. His campaign reached out to House Speaker Paul Ryan's office to arrange a conversation between the two men, and urged Republican leaders to view his candidacy as a chance to expand the party.

Trump padded his lead with victories in seven Super Tuesday contests, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz claiming three states and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio picking up his first victory of the 2016 race.

Despite Trump's strong night, he was not yet on track to claim the nomination before the party's national gathering in July, according to an Associated Press delegate count. He has won 46 per cent of the delegates awarded so far, and he would have to increase that to 51 per cent in the remaining primaries.

GOP strategists cast March 15 as the last opportunity to stop Trump through the normal path of winning states and collecting delegates. A win for Rubio in his home state of Florida would raise questions about Trump's strength, as could a win for Kasich, Ohio's governor, on his home turf.

The candidates have a high-profile opportunity to make their case to voters in Thursday's Fox News debate. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson all but ended his bid Wednesday, saying he would skip the debate and declaring he did "not see a political path forward."

The GOP mayhem contrasted sharply with a clearer picture on the Democratic side, where Hillary Clinton was drawing broad support from voters and her party's leaders. Rival Sen. Bernie Sanders vowed to keep up the fight, though his path to the nomination has become exceedingly narrow.

Romney argues that Trump's "domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe," Romney says. "And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill."

The Associated Press has asked Republican governors and senators if they would support Trump if he becomes the party's nominee. Of the 59 respondents, slightly fewer than half could not commit to backing him in November.

One long-shot idea rumbling through power corridors in Washington was the prospect of a late third-party candidate to represent more mainstream conservatives. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been approached by "a mixture of people" about being part of a third-party bid, according to Jeff Miller, who managed Perry's failed GOP presidential campaign. But Miller said Perry found the idea "ludicrous."

Associated Press writers Julie Pace, Kathleen Hennessey, Andrew Taylor, Julie Bykowicz, Stephen Ohlemacher and Donna Cassata contributed to this report from Washington

Aahh, you again, you admitted voting for a "loser" president, why would anyone take you serious.  You are slip-sliding away!!

Obama is a loser to you but the reality is the did the heavy lifting to bring this nation back from the brink of economic collapse. He expanded the health care system regardless of the griping of shortcomings. It covers more people. He put some 300k of the nations teachers back on the rolls stopped the hemoraging of a million jobs a month to a plus of over 200K a month. America is on firm legs. It is not completely healthy but Hillary will give it the necessary steroids. Trump is a crow. If he intends some of the things he say he will be the ruin of the nation. He would have no standing among Muslim nations, Mexico or Europe. He cannot tax trade as he said he would. He cannot deport en mass. All of that is pandering to the disaffected in America's heartland and appealing to the worse in us. He is not the proper vehicle America needs for the future. He is a windbag and an egoist.

Nah, heavy lifting? He always had a Caddie, and White ones to boot!!

ACA is a disaster!!  Companies are discontinuing their plans and dumping employees into the Marketplace and instead of 10%, they are dishing out 20-25% of disposable income to cover premiums!!  And that's with a deductible of between $1,000 and $2,500!!

Talk about "windbag"!!

Takes more than the wind bag to be a president. It takes a commitment to the service of others. This windbag has always been me me me me!!! O

You know fully well that is a PPP manufactured paper given a pretentious title. You cannot use agit prop as primary source. You need to bring some data from a renown institution affirming that there was indeed hyperinflation at this time. I do not know it to be true or false just dubious given its source.

He does not have to prove your thesis. You said there was hyperinflation. If there were that would be well documented. You need to do the necessary research and find the supporting data. The burden of proof is on the one affirming a thesis.

     Gov. John Kasich may well be the party's strongest potential general-election candidate. But his relative moderation has so far marginalized him in an increasingly right-wing party. Only in Vermont, one of the few states where a less strident brand of conservatism still plays well in the GOP, did Kasich put up a fierce challenge to Trump. Still, Kasich lost.

There is a possibility that in fiscally liberal, socially moderate Midwest states that Kasich might do well. 

Too bad as this will further underscore the fact that those who hate Trump are divided.

Rubio is just not presidential and this fact was underscored by his vulgarity and the fact that he rationalized that by wailing that "Trump started it".  He behaves like a daycare kid who hits another kid, and uses the fact that the kid hit him first, to justify this.

It will be noted that Kasich stayed out of the Rubio, Cruz, Trump brawl at the last debate, not wanting to be stigmatized by the immature behavior that this entailed.  The folks better note that when Christie damaged Rubio, it was Kasich who benefitted, even as Rubio was badly hurt.

When all the possible options are examined; america always gets it right ( to paraphrase someone who paraphrased Sherlock Holmes). Trump will not win. Only morons want that kind of unstable extremism represented by Trump. He has managed to alienate a very large segment of the population hence his high negatives and cap among republicans. He would not make america great but ruin it.  America is already great but you have to make it whole to make it greater. He cannot keep his own party intact. Even America's allies are lampooning him as facile and  a gargantuan windbag. Kasich looks good among republicans but he is bad for democrats. The old white lady wins.

It's a pity Kasich did not resonate more, he is probably the most balanced and intelligent person on the trail, including the Dems!!  I hope when the dust settles, he gets a critical role in Trumps administration!  He does offer value!!

When all the possible options are examined; america always gets it right ( to paraphrase someone who paraphrased Sherlock Holmes). Trump will not win. Only morons want that kind of unstable extremism represented by Trump. He has managed to alienate a very large segment of the population hence his high negatives and cap among republicans. He would not make america great but ruin it.  America is already great but you have to make it whole to make it greater. He cannot keep his own party intact. Even America's allies are lampooning him as facile and  a gargantuan windbag. Kasich looks good among republicans but he is bad for democrats. The old white lady wins.

Obama needs to go.  Trump is a real and viable possibility, as anyone else, including [lying and indictable] Hillary!!

As Caribj said, don't count you lil fowls!!
