Mitt Romney tore on Monday into President Trump for reportedly referring to Haiti and African nations as "shithole countries."
"The poverty of an aspiring immigrants nation of origin is as irrelevant as their race," Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee who is reportedly considering a Senate run in Utah, tweeted.

(8,200 posts)The Republican Party has undergone a transformation that has created a monstrosity. The party of Eisenhower shares nothing in common with the party of Nixon, Reagan the Bushes and this miscreant dysfunctional creature who was elected by a minority of citizens who are homophobic, racist, misogynistic, bible beating end-timer, nincompoops.
"On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

He'll say things like this but when you look deeper, he doesn't really subscribe to it.

(511 posts)"There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what ... who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims. ... These are people who pay no income tax. ... and so my job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives," Romney said.

It's almost like every Republican checks to see which way the wind is blowing before making a public statement.
Bring out the x-ray machine to see if any of them have any kind of a spine.
