PoliticoMitt Romney, the 2012 Republican nominee, will be caucusing for Ted Cruz in Utah next week.
The former Massachusetts governor said he believes no one will win the nomination outright by accruing the necessary 1,237 delegates, which would lead to multiple ballots at a contested convention.
At this stage, the only way we can reach an open convention is for Senator Cruz to be successful in as many of the remaining nominating elections as possible, Romney said in a Facebook post.
Romney, who campaigned with Ohio Gov. John Kasich earlier this week, this month delivered a scathing anti-Donald Trump speech in which he said he would vote for Kasich in Ohio and Marco Rubio in Florida the Florida senator suspended his campaign after losing the state by double digits to Trump. He also said he would vote for whoever has the best chance at beating Trump elsewhere. In Utah, he said, thats Cruz.

Y'know, Mitt, the enemy of your enemy isn't always your friend.
