This is good news all around. Were he to show up, he’d be roundly boo’d by the delegates. Probably same is true for both Bush exPresidents. Just stay away!!

That’s ok. He didn’t go to the campaign events last election. According to Trump.

I think these “not going” clowns know that some serious violence is planned for Cleveland, and they want to distance themselves from it - not so much for personal safety as to be able to proclaim “told you so.”

Michael Medved, Grima Wormtongue in the flesh, hinted yestreday that Mitt is thinking of running 3rd Party.

Good news for his dog, considering that Romney was going to drive to Cleveland from his home in Massachusetts.

Your joke made me think about it more. Knowing how vain Mitt is, he may not go to the convention; but I’ll bet you he sends either his wife, Ann or Tagg, the older son. They may even be wearing a camera and mike. These two are Mitt’s closest advisors, and will function well as proxies. Trump did the same thing last week at that Media Roast/ Nerd Prom with Obama bloviating untethered for an hour. Eric Trump, son of Donald was in attendance with his wife.

It is so obvious from the votes what the people want — how dare these horrible people throw tantrums because they’ve been told they can’t have it their way. No one told them they’re supposed to be working for US, not the other way around. How dare they.

And I like W, too, so I’m sorry to hear this.

I figured McCain would go to suck up to Trump, and in his delusional senile RINO dreams, the Trump voters he needs in AZ.

Romney’s not going? Well, damn. I was going to watch the convention just hoping to get a glimpse of him, but if he’s not going there’s no point in watching. /s

Romney is nothing but an Obamacare Governor and a failed candidate. He is no leader of the party, he just assumed the role.
