REUTERS/Aaron P. Bernstein Washington – Earlier this week, Trump’s final GOP foes, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, suddenly dropped out, clearing his path to the nomination. But some of the party’s big names are still keeping Trump at arm’s length. Neither former President George W. Bush nor Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, plans to attend the party’s national convention in July.

    An aide to the GOP’s 2012 presidential nominee confirms that Romney isn’t planning to attend the convention where Donald Trump is expected to become the Republican Party’s 2016 presidential nominee. The aide spoke on the condition of anonymity to share internal discussions.

    Romney has been an aggressive critic of Trump. The former Massachusetts governor vowed earlier in the year that he’d rather write someone in than vote for Trump in the general election.

    Trump became the GOP’s presumptive nominee this week after both of his remaining rivals dropped out of the race.

    It is starting already. I think a good part of the republican party will not support Trump. As much as I don’t like Hillary’s policies, all she has to do is show Trump as a demagogue and buffoon ( given all his outrageous comments and play back his shenanigans on the Howard Stern show). Unfortunately, she will win by a landslide.
    As a republican do we really want a President who appeared many times on the Howard Stern show?
    As a Jew – we must be very weary of an egoist and a tough self centered person, What happened if he turns on Israel when he can’t get HIS “art of the deal” done and then decides to punish Israel .Think about it.

    Don’t bet on it. Trump is running as an anti establishment candidate
    Just like he clinched the republican nomination where so many are in shock he might very well win the precedency. I think he is better than Hillary.
