Mitt Romney: down on Trump, high on Christie, and 'glad I'm not in this race'
Tom McCarthy in New York

Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, said on Sunday he was glad he was not in the current race for the White House, despite friends and supporters saying he could be winning it.
“I can’t imagine running right now, and I’m glad I’m not in this race,” Romney said on CNN. “A lot of people there are battling their way ahead. I think the American people want to see a new face, and that’s a good thing.”
Romney flirted with a third run for the White House – he lost out to Senator John McCain in the 2008 primaries – before ceding the field to the current bumper crop of candidates.
For the first time publicly in months, the former Massachusetts governor handicapped the Republican field, saying he did not believe Donald Trump would win the nomination and sharing his opinions about the other candidates – including a high appraisal of New Jersey governor Chris Christie.
