In case there was any doubt, Mitt Romney says he “can’t imagine” endorsing Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nominee.
The 2012 GOP presidential candidate says Trump “is not a Republican in any sense of the word” and has “taken this campaign into a very deep gutter.”
Romney speaks to CNN’s “State of the Union” in an interview broadcast Sunday.
The former Massachusetts governor’s comments come after he strongly criticized Trump in a speech Thursday at the University of Utah as dangerous and phony. Trump that night had a difficult debate in which he made a crude sexual joke and was the target of multiple attacks from rivals Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
Romney says he’s not endorsing any candidate now, but might after March 15 when voters in some candidates’ delegate-rich home states go to the polls. Rubio, who is from Florida, and Ohio Governor John Kasich have said they’ll stay in the race at least through that days’ votes.
