Utah Sen. Mitt Romney said Friday that he's not sure if he will endorse President Donald Trump for a second term and that he may not throw his weight behind anyone during the 2020 campaign.
"I don't think endorsements are worth a thimble of spit," the Republican former presidential candidate told reporters during an annual gathering of political leaders, wealthy donors and powerful businesspeople in the Utah ski-resort town of Park City. "I wouldn't be surprised if I stay out of the endorsements."

I guess he believes each of us who voted for him for President did so because we unconditionally loved him?

NeverTrumpers should save themselves (and us) a world of hurt and just go ahead and switch parties now. They can no longer pretend that every move they make doesn't aid and abet the Democrats, and that that's not intentionally so is no longer a credible excuse. Jump, Mitt. It's clear you want to.

Utah should do America a favor and recall this guy. What an embarrassment he has turned out to be.

I guess a lot of people should have had that attitude when he was running for President?

An endorsement from him certainly is worth much less than a thimble of spit. He's delusional. No one cares what he thinks.

Oh dear. Is Mittens under the faulty impression that anyone actually cares? An intervention may be necessary.

I knew that he would be another McCain, he thinks it makes him a star. All it does is make him look pathetic. I can't believe that I actually voted for him and I hope the people of Utah sober up, although I know they are basically stuck with him for another 41/2 yrs.

Of course not.
Just heard this on the radio, and the full statement is he may not support Trump like he did in 2016. That is a lie. Romney never supported Trump!
Go away Mitt. You are no longer a Republican. Switch parties. You do not care about the country or its citizens. You are in it for yourself, and the only people you will support are those that will donate to you in a big way. You are nothing but a political prostitute.

Why do we have to continue to read his incoherent ramblings. He need to go count his money, then sit down and shaddup. No one gives a rat's patootie about what he thinks or says. I'm sick of him already.

Nobody expects MITT to do the right thing and support the President of his Party. We expect him to rail against Trump for as long as he can. But then, nobody pays attention to Mitt anyway. He's kind of the Crazy Uncle in the Room at Thanksgiving, sitting in a corner talking to himself!

Memo to Romney: no one cares! By the time you might be running in 2020 you will be forgotten even more! Advice to Romney: you may want to switch parties, because you are so much more at home with Dems than R's!

Such utterances from this RINO are reinforcing my suspicion that he intentionally ran a lousy campaign in 2012 because he did not wish to unseat The One.

Nobody cares, Mitt, shut up, go home and wash that big "L" off your forehead. Anybody who lost a debate to a drug-addled, communist, muslim, illegal immigrant from Kenya whose stated goal was to destroy America does not deserve an audience.

The arrogance, narcissism, and above all self delusion that makes up the character of Mittens Romney is jaw dropping. No one cares about any endorsement coming out of the reeking pie hole of this Rhino Traitor Loser.
What in hell is wrong with Utah voters? Is it some kind of Mormon thing going on here?

But you were happy to accept Trump's endorsement in 2012 and donation as well as his endorsement for Senate. Ungrateful hypocrite.

Here's a good question: WHICH IS BETTER ?
1) Romney defeating obama in '16
2) or waiting for DJT after 8 years of Obama
I painfully vote for the latter. Our US demise would have continued-- albeit slightly slower-- with Mitt. Demise is being reversed with DJT.

Everyone take a deep breath. If not for the color of Obama's skin, Mittens may have become our president.

Mr. Romney, please consider returning to the East Coast where people actually can believe you are a Republican. Your liberal hogwash taints the party. Your unmasked Never-trump view is misguided. Trump may be a bull in a china shop, but real patriots knew it was time to break some dishes because all your lot wanted to do was continue to rearrange the shelves while liberal shoplifters cleaned out the inventory. Try working for the working people of this country alongside our President, not against him, even by implication.

Mitt Romney believes he is so superior to his president, Donald Trump!!!
Yet, Donald Trump is president, while Romney goes down in history as one of the worst losers of a presidential campaign!!!
The jealousy is eating Romney alive. And he will do anything and everything to destroy Donald Trump, even if it means destroying this entire nation in the process!!!

President Trump, a suggestion. If Mittens offers an endorsement sometime down the road, tell him "Thanks but no thanks.", it might be bad for your campaign to be endorsed by a weasel.

Almost 50 posts...many by people saying they don't care.
Mitt is simply being coy. Of course he may skip the nomination in 2020...if the great kitchen sink assault coming after Labor Day fails to destroy PDT's re-election candidacy. At very best, when the time comes in fall 2020, Mitt will give a cold tap water temperature "endorsement" to the party's likely nominee. By January, I expect, we will see Bill Weld pack up "his" campaign, a thinly veiled "Mitt Romney for President" effort.
