Romney Refuses to Repudiate Trump on the Birther Issue — Should He? (Poll)

CRAIG, Colo. (The Blaze/AP) — Mitt Romney is poised to clinch the Republican presidential nomination after Tuesday’s Texas GOP primary, a largely uncontested election that will formalize the former Massachusetts governor‘s status as President Barack Obama’s general election challenger.

While Romney’s nomination has been virtually assured for a month, the day marks the culmination of several years of work, dating back to his unsuccessful 2008 effort, and perhaps far earlier.

“It’ll be a big day tomorrow,” Romney told reporters aboard his campaign plane Monday evening. “I’m looking forward to the good news.”

But Romney’s focus Tuesday will be hundreds of miles north of Texas, where he’s scheduled to court voters and donors in Colorado and Nevada during a two-state swing punctuated by a Las Vegas fundraiser with conservative businessman Donald Trump.

The evening event, set for the Trump International Hotel, comes amidst fresh criticism from Republicans and Democrats over Trump‘s continued questioning of Obama’s citizenship. Romney hasn‘t condemned Trump’s false claims, offering a fresh example of the presidential contender‘s reluctance to confront his party’s more extreme elements. There have been other examples in recent weeks that underscore Romney’s delicate push to win over skeptical conservatives while appealing to moderates and independents who generally deliver general election victories.

Mitt Romney Refuses to Repudiate Donald Trump on Birther Issue

Asked Monday to weigh in on Trump’s support for the so-called birther movement, Romney declined to condemn Trump’s latest suggestion that Obama was born in Kenya.

“I don’t agree with all the people who support me. And my guess is they don’t all agree with everything I believe in,” Romney told reporters before flying from California to Colorado Monday evening. “But I need to get 50.1 percent or more. And I’m appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people.”

Polling suggests that the election between Romney and Obama will be very close, ultimately decided by several swing states, Colorado and Nevada among them. Romney will begin campaigning Tuesday in the northern Colorado town of Craig before flying to Las Vegas for an afternoon rally before the Trump fundraiser.

The Texas primary offers 152 delegates; Romney is just 58 delegates shy of the 1,144 needed to become the nominee. His Republican rivals Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich already have endorsed Romney, while Texas Rep. Ron Paul has stopped actively campaigning. Gingrich is expected to attend the Trump fundraiser.

Under similar circumstances last week, Romney swept all the delegates in GOP primaries in Kentucky and Arkansas and picked up more endorsements from party leaders.

But Romney’s meeting with Trump may generate as much interest, or more, than his tightened grasp on the Republican nomination.

“I do not understand the cost benefit here,” conservative commentator George Will said over the weekend. “The cost of appearing with this bloviating ignoramus is obvious, it seems to me.”

“Donald Trump is redundant evidence that if your net worth is high enough, your IQ can be very low and you can still intrude into American politics,” Will continued. “Again, I don’t understand the benefit. What is Romney seeking?”

Mitt Romney Refuses to Repudiate Donald Trump on Birther Issue

Trump revived the false claims about Obama’s birthplace late last week, citing a discredited story about a literary agency that mistakenly listed that Obama was born in Kenya.

While Romney briefly addressed the issue Monday, his senior aide Eric Fehrnstrom also declined to condemn Trump’s remarks in a recent interview.

“I can’t speak for Donald Trump … but I can tell you that Mitt Romney accepts that President Obama was born in the United States,” Fehrnstrom said. “He doesn’t view the place of his birth as an issue in this campaign.”

Romney has been criticized on several occasions for failing to speak out against extreme rhetoric from his party. The reluctance stands in contrast to the 2008 GOP presidential nominee and current Romney supporter, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who once corrected a supporter who called Obama a Muslim.

Mitt Romney Refuses to Repudiate Donald Trump on Birther Issue

Campaigning in Cleveland earlier in the month, Romney did not initially respond to a supporter who suggested that Obama should be tried for treason. He said after the rally that he didn’t agree.

Some critics also claimed that Romney was slow to condemn conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who said a college student defending Obama’s contraception policy was “a slut.” At the time, Romney initially declined to weigh in on the issue before saying “it’s not the language” he would have used. However, some conservatives argued that the issue was not one that Obama — or Romney — needed to be weighing in on.

What do you think? Should Romney repudiate Trump’s birther claims? Take the poll, below:

      There is no reason for Romney to do that. He cannot control what people who support him think, nor should he.

      Maybe we can focus on the real issues facing this nation.

      Debt
      Spending
      Freedoms
      Wars

      Of course to do that, we will need a nominee that differs from Obama on those issues.

      Why should he support the birthers? Most of them are either republicans or tea partiers. He already has all the republican votes, and with Ron out of the mix and Rand on Romneys side he will have most of the tea partiers. Associating himself with anything on the far right, like Nugent or Birthers will just lose him votes, even if he DOES agree with those things. Personally, I think Romney is a lot closer to being a libertarian than he lets on, he just knows that unless he comes off as pretty centrist he has no chance of winning the election.

      Romney is a MAN. He knows what he is doing. I agree with TRUMP that OBAMA was probably NOT born as a US Citizen…I think he came from hell…but the main point is that OBAMA did NOT grow up in America…he’s no more American in his heart than the guy walking down the street in Saudi Arabia..wait! He is a Muslim too…maybe that‘s why he’s gutted our economy, weakened our Armed Forces and tried to regulate us into a box. Good luck with that. PATRIOTS are an amazing breed of people…we‘ve lived ALL our lives with Freedom and we’re not about to give that up for some arrogant bunch of twits who couldn’t solve their way out of a paper bag.
      It takes a real MAN not to react at every jerk-water comment out there. Romney is the MAN we’ve needed! As far as PAUL? You little boys need to realize that you are phase 4 of Paulbots. Same mentality every 4 years when your man runs insteads of accomplishing anything in Congress. GROW UP BOYS. Get your head on straight and get out of the way.

    I’m not defending Obama for anything but what if it comes out Marco Rubio was born in Cuba or something? Why does that disqualify someone to be President. I know its in the Constitution for a reason but it really doesn’t make sense to me..

      It matters for a HUGE reason. The idea was to be sure that whoever is president should have American values, American upbringing, and America’s best interests at heart.

      Someone raised overseas who doesn’t fully understand or appreciate OUR culture and values (like the current WH resident) will not likely work America’s beat interests.

      The idea is that if someone is born in America to American parents, who owe allegiance to no other country, then they are the most likely to have OUR (that is America’s) best interests at heart.

      I suggest that you read the Federalist papers (and the Anti-Federalist papers as well) to learn why all those ‘quirky’ things in the constitution were put there. There’s a GOOD reason for ALL of them… the electoral college, Senators being appointed by states rather than elected, different terms for the different offices, etc.

Within hours of Romney’s announcement to run for the office of the presidency, his college transcripts were on the web. And, we still know next to nothing about 0bama, and his obfuscation continues to this day…with willing accomplices many of who are here at The Blaze.

    Why should Romney repudiate Trumps claims? You know what they say about opinions,everybody has one and Trump is simply voicing his opinion.Look at the characters our Marxist POS is associated with and I don’t hear anyone saying the Marxist POS should repudiate any of his communist,anarchist OWS lunatic associates.

    So who cares if the Marxist heathen isn’t a natural born citizen,which he isn’t since his father was a British subject.The Marxist heathen is clearly a fraud and he’s holding the office illegitimately,congress knows it and yet has done nothing.

      Yep the photo shopped birth certificate says his father was a british citizen, the dumbing down of americans is insane. How can so many americans accept this is beyond me. apparently 83% of the people reading this news site dont really give a **** about America, the constitution or law. Shame on Americans for for being so openly cowardice about an LIE! A lie that is undisputed! We have no law left in this country! We have compromised ourself into Fascism! We accept lies with great joy.

      He already would have if he could, but he can’t. Furthermore, after Romney gets elected, or preferrably before, I hope Trump, Arpaio, Manning (ATLAH), and anyone else who can help expose this obvious cover up by anyone knowledgeably involved in it has the patriotic duty to do so. I’m really keeping my fingers crossed, too. I realize I’m asking to be DRONED by expressing my opinion so strongly about this issue. If you don‘t hear from me on the Blaze ever again don’t weep for me, weep for our children’s children, instead.

    Romney respects Trumps right to free speech as well as millions of Americans. This birther issue is Odumbo’s problem, not Romney’s. It is up to Odumbo and his surrogates to repudiate the so-called “birthers”. Unlike the MSM, Romney is not an Odumbo mouthpiece, he is his political adversary and its not his job to carry water for the lying Democrat party and their Kenyan wonderboy..

    Why should Romney repudiate Donald Trump‘s words about Obama’s questionable citizienship? Obama is deliberately hiding his records to cause confusion and controversy. Obama should apologize. Furthermore, when is Obama going to repudiate the words of Bill Mahar, a million dollar supporter? Pfft! Obama‘s team is scared to death of Donald Trump because he’s a very famous man who has influence over others.

I don’t care what either of them think about gay marriage or abortion. Their opinion doesn’t mean anything at all to me – any more than any other person’s, anyway. Should it? Should the President‘s opinion hold more weight than my neighbor’s?

      In answer to your question, primarily since the conservatives found a voice through social media. That voice was restricted to AM radio until the last few years…social media is making the voice more prolific and dangerous to the liberal cause. Calling these out is a tactic of distraction; nothing more.

      I can pretty much agree with that statement.

      SOY wrote… “This calls into question Romney’s leadership ability.”

      Knowiing who you support (Ron Paul), I can (as you well know) give you a longggg laundry list of knuckleheads he has shared the stage with, worked with, pandered to, and recieved support from… while either never repudiating or finally being shamed into repudiating.

      We can start with the fact that Paul couldn’t manage a damn racist, bigoted and anti-Semitic Newsletter with some of the most vile and incendiary garbage ever written under the name of one man in politics… besides Obama of course. That one small item alone disqualifies Paul from having even the slightest ioda of management ability.

      To you SOY and Paul supporters everywhere… Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.

      If you’re going to call Romney a little bit of this, and a little bit of that… first question your own messiah’s history of basic mismanagement of a simple Newsletter then move forward to the poor choices HE has made with his own alliances and what motivated him to choose those alliances in his very longgggg career in politics. We can go next to his pandering (motivated by Murray Rothbard and Lew Rockwell) as an example to a Rag called “The Spotlight” to fund one of his Congressional runs. Paul‘s supporters say he’s still in the game, so it‘s reasonable to keep talking about him wouldn’t you think? If you’re going to hold evrybody else (including Romney) up against Paul… then he and his BS ideology is still relevent no? Especially when you espouse the SAME ideology as Paul and cover for his idiocy.

      Btw, who are you voting for SOY?? Romney?

      LOL MUTINEER. Half the time you can’t even make a good going of it speaking for yourself OR Ron Paul. You, like most Paul acolytes are an endless commercial for idiocy (Ron Paul).

      Paul is a slick beltway politician who while claiming others go around the Constitution, “uses” the Constitution as a tool to push his disease-ridden, foul smelling ideological strain of “new” Libertarianism to a bunch of paranoid and easily fooled youngsters who are products of the Liberal education system. And the older one’s who support this idiot, feed his ego and narcissism and wallet… should be smarter than this cultish type ferver. But Jim Jones and L Ron Hubbard had/have a followers of all ages too.

      If you think Ron Paul to be on par with the Founders and it’s all just about the Constitution, States rights, and those great buzzwords… liberty and freedom… I have ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.

      Ron Paul is nothing more than a slickster on par with a snake-oil salesman more than he is the Founders.
