Mitt Romney reads mean tweets from Donald Trump and his fans on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Jimmy Kimmel mixed up the "mean tweets" formula on Tuesday's Kimmel Live. Instead of having a bunch of famous people read mean things somebody had tweeted about them, he had one famous man, Mitt Romney, read 140-character taunts and jeers from Donald Trump and several of Trump's supporters. Romney was generally a good sport about it. "@MittRomney = loser," he began with one tweet, before pausing: "That's true, actually. I lost." In other cases, he argued back against his anonymous spitball shooters. Missing: the sad music. Still, kudos to Romney for agreeing to this late-night rite. Watch below. Peter Weber
