Mitt Romney fires back at ‘Mean Tweets’ from Donald Trump supporters

Source: USA Today

Mitt Romney had to know this was coming. After censuring Republican front-runner Donald Trump — he called him a “phony” and a “fraud” — the 2012 Republican presidential candidate received a slew of “mean tweets,” which host Jimmy Kimmel naturally invited him to read during his Tuesday appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The first slam came courtesy of Trump himself. “Mitt Romney had his chance and blew it. Lindsay Graham ran, got ZERO, and quit. Why are they now spokesmen against me? Sad!”

“Uh, got zero?" Romney shot back. "The only people I know who ‘got zero’ are the ones who paid $25,000 to be at Trump University. They’re the ones who got zero.”

Romney did concede to one tweet, however. "Mitt Romney = loser," one Twitter user wrote, to which Romney replied, "That’s true actually. I lost."

things are now so messed up, so badly messed up, that he looks reasonable and statesmanlike ...


If Mr. Trump's plan was to make someone like Mitt look reasonable, well done.

I suppose Mr. Trump's plan was simply to have fun, use his money to play around with the American people.

What have we all learned from Mr. Trump?

That a certain percentage of our public is what? Anybody want to try and paint a picture?

5. That's exactly what I noticed about Mitt Romney. He is coming off as sane when standing up to Trump.

That picture of that certain percentage is a really ugly racist one. But then that is what the Koch brothers use to drive the Tea Party. I still believe Trumpenfuhrer has been spouting tea party politics all along.

I hope the Mittster decides to jump in and mix it up, I really do.

I would simply love to see all our Beloved Oligarchs' cash pumped down that rathole to oblivion, and the GOP party machinery in smoking ruins, I really would...

PleasepleasepleasepleasePLEASE, Mitt? I won't even mention your history on the topic of kindness to animals, I promise!

hopefully,

If we'd have listened to them nobody would have gone to fight ebola and it would probably be at least million infected by now.
