The idea that Mitt Romney was treated any worse than any other major party nominee is a Republican connivance to justify Trump. He wouldn’t even crack the top five for mistreated Democratic nominees in the last 30 years.
Mitt Romney ran for president on the premise that his health care plan was about to destroy America.
Romney accused Obama of sympathizing with the terrorists who committed the Benghazi attacks, one of the worst dog whistles of the pre-Trump era.
Romney's entire campaign was based on BS like Solyndra and "You didn't build it."
He's better than most Republicans -- no doubt -- but he's still confirming anti-LGBT, anti-women judges who refuse to say Brown v. Board was rightly decided TO THIS DAY.

There were no calls to jail him at a national convention. He wasn't accused of faking his own birth. His heroic war record wasn't slandered. And he didn't get anything like the racist Horton smears.
This, too, Romney's "self-deportation" policy is almost indistinguishable from what Trump's immigration policies have ended up being.
I get that Republicans want to absolve themselves of Trump by imagining Romney was historically wronged.
But if you're looking for someone to blame for Trump, don't look at the guy Trump birthered.
Look at Mitt, the guy who sought the birther's endorsement.
