Exactly one week ago, 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney -- in his effort to defeat Donald Trump -- campaigned in Ohio with John Kasich, telling the state's voters to cast ballots for their governor.

"Unlike the other people running, he has a real track record," Romney said of Kasich. "He has the kind of record that you want in Washington, and that's why I'm convinced that you're going to do the right thing tomorrow."

Today, however, Romney's voice appears on robocalls in Arizona and Utah, telling these voters to side with Ted Cruz -- and not to vote for Kasich.

In the robocall, Romney calls Cruz "the only Republican candidate who can defeat Donald Trump," and says "at this point a vote for John Kasich is a vote for Donald Trump."

1. Seems to me this is exactly the strategy he laid out earlier.

Vote for the guy who is polling highest in each state who is not trump.

5. There's a lot of whiplash here on du as assorted self elevated experts

who were busy splaining Kasich as the NOT_TRUMPF! are now busily pretending they never did that.

8. Not sure why, Romney said vote for whoever is strongest in your state and is NOT TRUMP LOL

kind of like what Limpnuts did telling people to vote for Hillary so there would be a "contested" convention on the dem side eight years ago...

6. Romney's always been kinda flaky. Poor little rich kid can't decide which pony he'll ride.

I give Mittens kudos for this, actually. It means he's so icked out by Trump's racism that he'll back any jackanapes who stands a chance of stopping the orangutan.

11. Actually, what he's icked out by

is the thought that The Combover would take the rest of the repuke ticket down in flames with him.

12. How do you tell the difference between a robo-call from Romney ...
