Romney won’t attend convention featuring guy whose endorsement he embraced
Mitt Romney won’t endorse Trump as Trump did him and won’t be in Cleveland.
Click here for reuse options!A Romney aide told The Washington Post on Thursday morning, “Governor Romney has no plans to attend convention.”
Romney has been one of Trump’s chief critics this spring. He delivered a searing, point-by-point indictment of Trump in March — from his business record to his character to his divisive campaign-trail rhetoric.
Trump, who endorsed Romney in 2012 and raised money for his campaign, has since been harshly critical of the campaign that Romney ran. In an interview last month, Trump told The Post that he understood it would be “very hard” for Romney to attend the convention but that he would have no qualms about him being in Cleveland.
“I don’t care,” Trump said. “He can be there if he wants.”
Romney’s announcement comes after the GOP’s two living former presidents — George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush — announced Wednesday night through their spokesmen that they did not plan to endorse a candidate this year.

I don’t know what’s gonna be more enjoyable…watching the Old Guard slowly become irrelevant and fade away or the rise of the completely Batshitcrazy Right that’s coming whether Trump wins or not…

I think it is too late, the old guard are already obsolete now or we wouldn’t have Trump. The voters are no longer listening to them, sad they picked Trump who will be worse but there it is.

I have a strong dislike for Mitt Romney but it doesn’t bother me that he sought Trump’s endorsement.
I dislike Romney because he bought companies, stole the workers pension and sent their jobs overseas.
