Wonder if Mitt remembers Walker's slams?

 [Updated 8:52 a.m.] Former 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is holding a summit of establishment Republican bigwigs at his Utah compound and I think Scott Walker is among the invitees, confirmed by The Washington Post.

On the agenda is dealing with Donald Trump - - and Walker is getting some media attention as a possible Stop Trump tool despite being slow, unlike Paul Ryan, to find anything seriously wrong with Trump's racist vilification of a sitting federal judge.

Showing up at MittFest would give 'Midwestern Nice' [sic] Walker a chance to remind Romney of all the rotten things he dished Romney's way when Walker needed someone to make himself look smarter by comparison:

* Walker didn't think Romney in 2012 was correctly using then-GOP Vice-Presidential candidate Paul Ryan correctly, and said so publicly:

I was enthused when Mitt Romney picked Paul Ryan because I thought that was a signal that this guy was getting serious, he was getting bold," Walker said. "I just haven’t seen that kind of passion I know that Paul has transferred over to our nominee…." 

Walker also suggested that while Romney was in sync with Ryan on policy, he could learn something from his running mate about how to talk about it. "They need to have more of him rub off on Mitt, because I think Mitt thinks that way but he’s gotta be able to articulate that," he said.  

So when Romney-Ryan lost the election, you know who'd be right there to point the finger and say 'told you so.'

* Sure enough, when non-candidate/candidate Walker put his name on the book Unintimidated he dumped on Romney, again:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker criticizes 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney in his new book, saying the candidate didn’t do enough to connect with voters or present his own positive vision for the country.

Walker says in the book that the GOP lost the election in large part because it did a “lousy job of presenting a positive vision of free market solutions to our nation’s problems in a way that is relevant to people’s lives…”

In fact, Romney had little use for Walker's advice:

He [Waller] describes an email he sent to Romney during the 2012 campaign, encouraging him to do more to connect with voters and show emotion on the campaign trail, “like you did to the Olympic athletes” when Romney headed the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. The email, Walker writes, got no response. 

I'm sure Romney is saying, 'Gosh darn it, I sure wish I'd gotten back to that fella. Look at how strong he ran in 2015.'
