What loser Romney is! He releases a transcript of his speech a day ahead of giving it. What is wrong with that? It gives Trump an opportunity to retort before as well as after it.
This reminds me of Barack Obama telling ISIS when he'll withdraw American troops. Neither of these two bozos are very astute in battle. TM

Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will deliver a scorching indictment of Donald Trump on Thursday, calling the candidate a "phony" and a "fraud" who'd threaten America's future.

Romney is due to speak Thursday in Utah at the Hinckley Institute of Politics Forum on the state of the 2016 presidential race. Already a vocal critic of Trump, excerpts released ahead of the speech show Romney will go a step further in his attacks by accusing the GOP frontrunner of "playing the American public for suckers."

The repudiation of Trump — who endorsed Romney's 2012 run — will be the latest in a growing anti-Trump movement among some Conservatives.

Romney will harken back to a 1964 Ronald Reagan address in saying that America faces "another time for choosing" that could have "profound consequences" for the Republican Party and the country.

The Paris and San Bernardino attacks, China's assertiveness and North Korea's nuclear tests show we live in "troubled and dangerous times," Romney will say, adding that he believes America's future can be better "if we make the right choices."

He'll make the case that the real-estate tycoon is not the right choice.

He called Trump a "phony" and a "fraud" making "worthless" promises.

"His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe," Romney will say. "He has neither the temperament nor the judgement to be president. And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill."

Major Republican donors convened a conference call Tuesday afternoon to convince fellow donors to fund an effort to cripple the frontrunner.

Trump accused Romney of "just trying to stay relevant" in separate remarks to MSNBC's "Morning Joe," acknowledging the attacks against him while stressing he would unify, not divide, the Republican Party.

"Now, I'm being hit from 19 different angles right now... but ultimately I get along with people," Trump said. "If the time comes and when... who knows what's going to happen, but I will be able to get along. And we will have a much bigger party, we will have a much more inclusive party."
