Remember when Mitt Romney said Donald Trump will change America with 'trickle-down racism'?

And now Trump is meeting with Mitt Romney this weekend to discuss governing and possible Cabinet post. The normalization of Trump steams ahead. All of my life I wondered how it was possible for a man like Adolph Hitler to rise to power. It felt impossible. But watching how people in this country just refusing to acknowledge what is going on around them, I now understand. Silence is agreement. Non-action is acquiescence.

"let me put it very plainly. If we Republicans choose Donald Trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished"

"There's plenty of evidence that Mr. Trump is a con man, a fake. Mr. Trump has changed his positions not just over the years, but over the course of the campaign, and on the Ku Klux Klan, daily for three days in a row."

"If the other candidates can find common ground, I believe we can nominate a person who can win the general election and who will represent the values and policies of conservatism," he said. "Given the current delegate selection process, this means that I would vote for Marco Rubio in Florida, for John Kasich in Ohio, and for Ted Cruz or whichever one of the other two contenders has the best chance of beating Mr. Trump in a given state."

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

"Donald Trump tells us that he is very, very smart. I'm afraid that when it comes to foreign policy he is very, very not smart,"
