The video attached to this blog post is about 17 minutes long. It’s of Mitt Romney talking ostensibly about the “nominating process” for president of the United States.

In fact nearly all of it is a barrage of criticism leveled at Donald J. Trump, who in 2016 was the leading candidate for the Republican Party presidential nomination.

Buried deeply inside the middle of the speech is a brief, but equally scathing criticism of Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democrats’ nominee in 2016. But it’s 2012 GOP presidential nominee’s critique of Trump that got all the headlines when he first delivered it.

Seriously, I urge you to take just a few minutes from your busy day and listen to these remarks. They are prescient and, in my view, so very accurate.
