Donald Trump Calls Mitt Romney Irrelevant Choke Artist

Donald Trump unleashed a tirade against Mitt Romney at his campaign rally this afternoon in Portland, Maine, saying the former presidential candidate held back from running this time around because of him.
So when Mitt started raising his head a few months ago, I was very strong," Trump said. "I said, Mitt Romney should not run. He's a choke artist.
Trump also suggested that Romney may still have a desire to run.
I heard Mitt Romney made a fairly long speech," he said. "Ill just address it quickly because its irrelevant."

It would have been smarter for Trump not to take the bait, but he just can't help himself.

because Trump just seems to keep getting stronger. Turnout numbers we're seeing in the primaries are very worrying.

(20,851 posts)4. Mitt Romney just another failed venture that Trump backed... oops
Trump runs on his track record of success then dismisses the people he backed as losers. Never really was able to deflect the major blows Romney leveled against him. The civil war is in full bloom. From TV to op eds, to talk radio there is a major split in the party. There are the people that are suckered by Trumps cheap BS and those completely nauseated by it. Will it heal in time?

For teams that collapse under pressure. Usually after they've been heavily favored or have a big lead and then lose it.
