Senator Mitt Romney, the GOP standard-bearer in the 2012 presidential election against President Obama, has publicly declared his stance against supporting former President Donald Trump if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee, telling CNN's Kaitlan Collins 'No, no, no. Absolutely not.' In a series of statements, Romney emphasized the importance of character in the presidency, stating that having a president 'so defaulted of character would have an enormous impact on the character of America.' He further expressed his concerns about the international implications of not supporting democratic leadership, specifically mentioning the risk of China stepping into the role of world leader. Despite agreeing with Trump on many domestic issues, Romney's primary consideration remains the character of the presidential candidate, which he believes is crucial for America's leadership both domestically and internationally.
