since he saw the overwhelmingly negative reaction. It might be that he is totally misunderstood (although it would have been handy of his press office to deny it) and it never was as stated, either way my faith in humanity is (slightly) restored if either is true.

There are even rumours Romney has told Trump to ditch it, I'd like to believe that it's because he's a decent human being who doesn't want to win like that rather than him seeing it as bad press for the Republicans. Think I'll give him the benefit of the doubt now.
