Romney Threatened To Cancel Univision Forum If Organizers Didnt Allow Him To Bus In Supporters
Mitt Romney packed the audience for a Univision forum earlier this week, BuzzFeeds McKay Coppins reports, busing in local supporters after exhausting the few conservative groups on campus. The campaign threatened to reschedule the event if organizers did not allow the rowdy activists from around southern Florida in order to fill the extra seats at their town hall.
Romney also refused to come out on stage after the hosts introduced him by noting that he had agreed to give the network 35 minutes, and that Obama had agreed to a full hour the next night. Univision re-taped the introduction after Romney allegedly threw a tantrum.

I really really hope he sets set off by something Obama says in a debate, intentionally or not

The debates should require sampling to prove that drugs like valium are not being used...

It's a pattern. A DUer posted that their father had a run-in with Romney when he was younger.

An adult actually said "H-E double hockey sticks?" Is he actually a four year old?
