A source close to Romney told CNN the speech is not an endorsement or announcement. Another source close to Romney’s plans said he’s expected to praise Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, who are both trying to be an alternative candidate to the Donald Trump.
Mitt Romney speech criticized GOP front-runner Donald Trump, emphasizing that Trump is the wrong person to lead the Republican Party in November and underscoring the “choices facing the Republican Party and the country” in this election.
“Here’s what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud,” Romney said in his talk, set for delivery later Thursday. “His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He’s playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.”
