After former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Wednesday announced that he would deliver a speech on the 2016 race on Thursday, Donald Trump quickly went after Romney as a “failed candidate.”
Romney will reportedly call Trump a “phony” and a “fraud” during his Thursday speech. The Republican presidential frontrunner published a series of tweets bashing Romney on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
Failed Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney is having a news conference tomorrow to criticize me. (1/2)

Just another desperate move by the man who should have easily beaten Barrack Obama. (2/2)

Looks like two-time failed candidate Mitt Romney is going to be telling Republicans how to get elected. Not a good messenger!

I am the only one who can beat Hillary Clinton. I am not a Mitt Romney, who doesn’t know how to win. Hillary wants no part of “Trump”

Why did Mitt Romney BEG me for my endorsement four years ago?

Trump also published a video to Facebook arguing that Romney is not conservative, highlighting past comments made by Romney in favor of “amnesty” and universal health coverage.
During an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday morning, Trump reiterated that Romney’s presidential campaign was a “catastrophe.”
