As for Trump "University," it never conferred degrees--or claimed to.

A civilian cannot put on a cop's uniform, walk around the neighborhood pretending to be a cop, and then say, "Hey, I never claim to be a cop."

Which is pretty much what Trump did. He called his thing a "University" when it was not licensed and clearly against the law. It's going to be nearly impossible for you to spin this one - when the name "Trump University" already gives it away that it's a scam.

Unfortunately, when praising Full Sail, Romney fails to mention that the school has the third highest tuition in the country at an average of $42,809 a year after financial aid is applied. He also fails to mention that his super PAC has received about $240,000 just from the CEO of that school, who conveniently also doubles as co-chairman of Romney’s Florida fundraising team.

Mitt Romney

Not a Trump fan, but this is ridiculous.
No No. You have it wrong, Romneys evolving.

When he lost the popular vote many held out hope that he would win the Electorial vote. Instead, Romney recieved 38%.

Obviously, Romney had a lot of supporters in 2012 and likely continues to have influence with many of them.
No one cared about Romney. They just wanted Obama out.

Agreed.

I began respecting Romney after his well-crafted speech this week.

And neither was 2008. He really needs to give it up and I can't imagine anyone would care what he has to say

People who can't be bought by the R establishment, don't care what that loser has to say straight up!


Us voters can't be bought by those fools. Loser sure changed his tune from when he graciously accepted money from Trump in 2012. Someone they won't be able to boss around, oh the irony.


The loser really does need to give it up, he is a big loser lost to Obama, enough said.

Ironic, isn't it?

I was surprised Romney didn't just come out and call Trump for who he really is- the modern day equivalent of P.T. Barnum.

Wonder why Romney thought he had to go public about Trump?

Very good question and one I myself have. I'm not sure if he's hoping for a 'draft' at a brokered convention, or if it's a case that the Bush establishment failed to shoot down The Donald and now the RNC is just going down another notch in the caliber of gun they are using. They failed with nikki and sessons (I think that's how to spell that senator's name). They failed with the Fox news folks in the first debate. Need I say ANYTHING about their success in using marco?

As much as I loathe the liar dim-woman, she would chew Romney up and spit him out in any and every debate. I think his uncontested 'press conference' was the zenith of his public speaking career. Straight down from here ... as in cliff vice hill.

On man's opinion.
