Romney did an op ed in the Washington Post yesterday on ISIS and was on the Today Show this morning. Romney was asked and implied that he did not think that Trump could handle ISIS. When asked about Carson and Trump, Romney stated that there are two or three candidates in the GOP field who could win a general election and these people could deal with ISIS. Romney was asked who would be better fighting ISIS-Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump and Romney only attack Clinton but did not comment on Trump's ability.
I suspect that Trump will consider this to be an insult and we can expect some attacks later today

(58,785 posts)most unforgivable insult to him, in what context doesn't matter next to not talking about him at all.
FiveThirtyEight has an interesting piece, "If Donald Trump Is The Problem, Mitt Romney Isnt The Solution."

At one point it also says, "...Romney would be entering a race without a dominant frontrunner. Donald Trump and Ben Carson remain atop the polls. Marco Rubio appears to be in the best position of any establishment candidate, but thats like having the closest seat to the buffet table at an offensive linemans wedding; theres still a lot of jostling to go before anyone gets their grub."
