“Mitt Romney, John McCain, George W. Bush, Bob Dole and George H. W. Bush —”

Too bad about W, but the rest of them can go shiite in their hat.

The should have made some room for Diamond and Silk — not a prominent spot, but one for them somewhere on the list.

Noticed the absence of Pence and Gingrich from the list, yet there is Flynn, Sessions, and Cristie...given that they are supposedly part of the short list for VP. Wouldn’t all of them speak at some point, even the VP?

Imagine how different the USA would be today if W had not refused to allow his AG to investigate the very real and creditable allegations against obama before the D convention.

Starting to see why W was not invited?

But the party’s last five presidential nominees — Mitt Romney, John McCain, George W. Bush, Bob Dole and George H. W. Bush — are all absent, in an unusual celebrated move that illustrates much of the party’s people's discomfort with Mr. Trump the Republican Party.

Fixed it :)

They can ALL go pound sand. Including W.

I’m thankful they will NOT be speaking.

W wore himself out doing his jive dance at the recent Dallas memorial, anyway.
