'I don’t think that was the case' that I was 'never-Trump,' Mitt Romney says

 â€œI don't think that was the case,” Romney said.

“President Trump was not the person I wanted to become the nominee of our party, but he's president now. 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.

Why not just say, "yeah, I was a never Trumper. However, after seeing the policies he's pursued and how they have benefited the country I now support him."

There is no shame in saying you're wrong.

We ask that question multiple times each year in here.  By now, it's strictly rhetorical.   :pop41:

Well, it is.

Between the racking sobs, you read how they 'always' give credit (praise is too much a trigger word) to "Trump" when he does something that pleases them, etc..

How much responsibility are the Trump fanatics willing to accept? It sure seems there are a bunch of Trump supporters who are so fanatical that they insist on being "right fighters" to the point of pushing away potential allies.

If you read the question he was asked and how he answered it, I'm pretty sure he was denying being a leader, not NeverTrump, and in that much he would be correct.

Romney's such a weasel.  He tries to minimize his opposition to Trump by saying that it's just that he preferred other candidates in the primary.  But in fact, it wasn't just that he preferred other candidates -- it's that after the Convention, when Trump was the only Republican running, Romney still didn't vote for him.  He cast a meaningless vote for his own wife instead.

What a sleazy putz.

Nah -- I think you're giving him more credit than he deserves.  I didn't see anywhere in the question or in his answer whether either he or the questioner focused on the "leader" angle.  Presumably, as the party's last Presidential nominee, he was going to be a "leader" by default as soon as he spoke out publicly on it.  And if you're giving a prominent speech about a candidate...that alone is the action of a "leader".  And actually, it almost would be worse for him to say "yes, I was a NeverTrumper, but I wasn't a leader." Because that would mean he was a follower, and that diminishes his stature.

It reads to me like he's denying being "NeverTrump" at all by trying to make it look like he just liked other people in the primary more than he liked Trump.  But the truth is he detested Trump, and didn't vote for him in the general election.

So, basically, he flipped on the one firm stance he's ever taken by denying he ever took the firm stance?
