Sen. Romney says President Trump 'could substantially improve his game' in helping shape the nation's character.
"I believe that there ought to be exceptions," Romney said."I'm pro-life, but there ought to be exceptions for rape and incest and where the life of the mother is at risk. But, look, you're seeing laws on both sides of this argument that are in the extreme. And whether it's New York and Virginia, or whether it's Alabama and Missouri, people have gone to the wings, if you will. I don't think that's productive.
Romney also explained why he voted against Michel Truncale, a Trump pick for the federal bench in Texas who was confirmed last week. Truncale called Obama an"un-American imposter" and lambasted liberals. "No, it's actually a very personal thing for me, which is, I ran against President Obama," Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, said."I disagreed with him on a whole host of issues. We went after each other very aggressively. But I completely rejected the whole idea that he was not born in the United States, that he was un-American in some way, that he was an impostor in that respect.
"And so, when a judge came forward making that kind of claim in his past, that was just not something I could subscribe to," he continued."So, it wasn't a matter of his politics or right-wing, left-wing. ... As a matter of fact, during my campaign, when there was an instance when someone said that President Obama was un-American, I insisted they apologize for that and retract that statement.
