Mitt Romney came to Arizona to help out a fellow Senate hopeful and he ended up getting in a jam himself.
At a rally in Arizona to support a fellow Republican Sunday, former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney was asked what happened with his efforts to stop Donald Trump from becoming president in 2016.
Romney responded by denying being a leader in the so-called “never Trump” movement.
“President Trump was not the person I wanted to become the nominee of our party, but he’s president now,” Romney said. “The policies he’s promoted have been pretty effective. And I support a lot of those policies. When there’s a place where I disagree, I point that out,” he said.
That description runs counter to what many remember from the 2016 campaign.
“Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud,” Romney told an audience at the University of Utah at the time. In the speech, he suggested viewers play the delegate process against Trump, meaning, he said, that voters should cast their primary ballots for “whichever one of the other two contenders has the best chance of beating Mr. Trump in a given state.”
