Mitt Romney has refused to challenge Donald Trump for the GOP party nomination, but that doesn't mean he's afraid of a fight.
On Saturday, the failed Republican presidential candidate made a surprise appearance at a charity wrestling match.
The former Massachusetts governor, 69, entered the ring hidden behind a mask, dressed as Jack Black's character fro the 2006 film Nacho Libre.

No one likes you Mitt.

What a buffoon.

 

[MantisToboggan]

No one likes you Mitt.

Isn't Trump the guy whose favorable/unfavorable split is 29/70? That's a guy that no one likes.

He could be running for reelection right now, opposed by Trump and Obama had things worked out differently.

What would the world look like today had Romney won?

Syria?

Iraq?

Egypt?

Libya?

Terror home and abroad?

Jobs?

Health Care Premiums?

Race Relations?

Probably a little better. But not as better as some here would believe. This guy didn't turn out to be no box a' chocolates either.
