Donald Trump Takes ‘Full Credit’ for Mitt Romney’s Decision Not to Run

There were a lot of great reactions on Twitter to Mitt Romney’s announcement that he will not be seeking the 2016 GOP presidential nomination. But we all know, there’s only one that really matters:

I will take full credit for Mitt Romney dropping out of the race—looks like he won’t be endorsing Trump any time soon.

When I broadly proclaimed Mitt “choked” – and would do it again—everybody said yeah, he’s right.

Now that Mitt is gone, all we have to do is get Bush to drop out and Trump to run—and we will win!
