GOP Utah Senate candidate Mitt Romney is changing his tune on President Donald Trump from where he was one year ago.
Trump endorsed Romney late Monday evening, giving the former failed presidential candidate “full support and endorsement.”
Romney responded almost immediately, thanking the president for his kind words and for backing him the upcoming election.
“Thank you Mr. President for the support. I hope that over the course of the campaign I also earn the support and endorsement of the people of Utah,” Romney tweeted late Monday evening.

Romney’s statement Monday is strikingly different from ones he has previously made about the president.
“If Trump had said 4 years ago the things he says today about the KKK, Muslims, Mexicans, disabled, I would NOT have accepted his endorsement,” Romeny tweeted in March 2016.

Romney has also had some other harsh words for the president in 2016.
Here’s what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. (1/2)

Trump relishes any poll that reflects what he thinks of himself. But polls are also saying that he will lose to Hillary Clinton

Mitt Romney knows song and dance. Whether he is doing hard tap or soft shoe is dependent upon whom he is performing for. Mitt Romney is a RINO. But, he may be of some use to President Trump.
Hmmmm … I am a little disappointed in the president or maybe he is testing that water either way he needs to protect his 6. As a past supporter of Romney I have learned that he will say or do anything that will put him in a favorable light. That is until he gets into the office. He is one of the biggest RINOs in politics (my opinion) and he is as bad at carpet bagging as Clinton was when she moved to New York to get the Senate seat!!! (Again ,,, my opinion)
Romney is so hard up for a position in government that he will kiss any ring that will get him TV time. POTUS beware of demons bearing gifts. Romney is the enemy.
It seems Trump is the only office holder in DC who’s opinions don’t blow in the wind like New England Autumn leaves. But then, he’s not a politician like RINO turncoat Romney!
After what Trump said about Romney in the past, NOW Trump supports him?
And you think Trump is consistent? Thought-speak.
Romney is a major backstabber & a Bush influenced puppet for the NWO. Anyone who votes for him needs their head examined & Trump shouldn’t trust him or support him.
to mdic””””’you got that so right
I wouldn’t trust Romney as far as I could spit.
Yeah Romney you gotta watch what you say about others that have helped you out in the past. Do Not Talk Sh*t about our POTUS! He happens to be the best president this country has ever had, so far! TRUMP 2020
I don’t trust Romney even tho I once voted for him. But he is a Mormon and Utah is a Mormon state so maybe he will win but will we lose if he wins?
He got 72% of the vote in 2012 against Obama! The Democrat might as well fold up his tent!
Mitt Romney is a good man but not an assertive, definitive leader. He can do well as a Senator only if he can follow Donald Trump’s lead. Romney represents the culture of the Mormans that is definitive and regulated by those on top of the organization. Mormonism is similar in many ways to what Democrats believe. The Mexican culture and the Islamic culture — both have top-down controls on the individual. All of these cultures acts as antitheses to the founding Christian principles of this country, independence, personal responsibility, the premises upon which the Constitution of the United was created. Republicanism is much more than a political party.
He’s not a “good man” whatsoever. He’s a NWO proponent with the full backing of the Bush’s. He absolutely can’t be trusted & if voted in will be just another Rino to go after Trump.
Very well said-I agree!
Betty Sakai, I don’t know where you get your information about the MormOns but you are dead wrong. I think your bias is showing and it’s not pretty! By the way, there is an increasing number of Democrat Mormons, and Utah is running about 50-50 as far as the Mormon/Non-Mormon population goes. One more thing, many Mormons were disgusted by Mitt’s performance against Obama in the debates. So I don’t think he’s a shoo-in at all. I hope I’m right about that!
“He’s YOUNG but dai-ai-aily grownin’ . . . .”
“To err is human . . .”
“To forgive . . .Divine . . .!”
MAGA . . .(R) . . .!
Semper Fi . . .!
I, for one, DO NOT trust “mittens.” He is a “turncoat.”
If the RNC or RSC give any money to Romney they will never never get another red cent from ME !! Romney is another McCain and that we do not need !! He will prevent us from ever getting rid of Obama Care and he will give amnesty to every illegal here !! He is just evil !!
