What Romney said about Trump. In an effort to stop the runaway Trump from getting the Republican nomination . Here are some jewels from his Trump bashing speech

"--a phony -- playing the American public for suckers"

"Look, his bankruptcies have crushed small businesses and the men and women who work for them. He inherited his business, he didn’t create it. And whatever happened to Trump Airlines? How about Trump University? And then there’s Trump Magazine and Trump Vodka and Trump Steaks and Trump Mortgage. A business genius he is not."

"Mr. Trump’s bombast is already alarming the allies and fueling the enmity of our enemies. Insulting all Muslims will keep many of them from fully engaging with us in the urgent fight against ISIS, and for what purpose?"

"Let ISIS take out Assad, he said, and then we can pick up the remnants.Now, think about that. Let the most dangerous terror organization the world has ever known take over an entire country? This recklessness is recklessness in the extreme."

"--this is an individual who mocked a disabled reporter, who attributed a reporter’s questions to her menstrual cycle, who mocked a brilliant rival who happened to be a woman due to her appearance, who bragged about his marital affairs, and who laces his public speeches with vulgarity"
. 
"There is a dark irony in his boasts of his sexual exploits during the Vietnam War. While at the same time, John McCain, whom he has mocked, was imprisoned and tortured."

"He’s not of the temperament of the kind of stable, thoughtful person we need as a leader."

"Think of Donald Trump’s personal qualities. The bullying, the greed, the showing off, the misogyny, the absurd third grade theatrics."

"--the infamous Tapper-Trump exchange on the Ku Klux Klan will play 100,000 times on cable and who knows how many million times on social media."

" --I predict that despite his promise to do so, first made over a year ago, that he will never ever release his tax returns ---Nor will he authorize the release of the tapes that he made with The New York Times"
