Posting pics of Romney with Trump accomplishes what?

You really think Trump's supporters are going to freak out and stay home just because Trump (as well as millions of other conservatives) held their noses for Romney in 2012?

Doesn't sound like Trump was "holding his nose" back in '12. But, your definition of "holding nose" probably means different things in different years. Sort of like Trump's belief system. A fraud.

I'm not sure what the original poster thought, but treating past nominees civilly is a good thing (yes, even McCain, if you must.) As long as his healthcare plan looks nothing like Romneycare, this is fine.

Romney is at worst slightly left of center of the American political spectrum (and is more likely slightly to the right). Anonymous posters on FR can afford to be purists and despise all non-purists. Presidential candidates can't.

Even the photos with Bill amd Hillary are OK. I would expect most citizens to get their photo taken with the president if they have the opportunity, whether or not they dislike their politics. I do have issues with some of Trump's fairly recent support for and agreement with 'Rats, but this photo gotcha game is annoying.

Trump and million of conservatives? Why would anyone put conservative and Trump in the same sentence unless it is something like’ Trump is no conservative.’

Romney and Trump are more alike philosophically than either is to conservatives. But hey he’s going to build that wall.
