Where are they? The Republicans who skipped their national convention.
If last night's contentious display at the Republican National Convention proved anything, it's that this year's GOP nominating process is remarkably watchable.
But there were many Republicans who wanted to stay far away.
Agreeing with Ted Cruz and those in the #NeverTrump movement, many prominent GOP leaders from the House, Senate and beyond chose to spend these four days away from Cleveland. They did not want to get anywhere close to the newly nominated Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump.

Past leaders of the party, a full 18 Republican senators and three out of the four former GOP presidential candidates either made up excuses for why they couldn't go or just said they were unavailable.
But social media tells all.
Looking around at politicians' social media accounts, it was interesting to see what they would rather do than cheer on the prospect of a Trump presidency
Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey would rather grab some Chick-fil-A.
Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse would rather tend to his corn field.
Pennsylvania Rep. Ryan Costello would rather hang out with some cows.
New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte would rather go to the beach.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul would rather have a great time at the Possum Trot Quickmart.
Arizona Sen. John McCain would rather see the Grand Canyon.
Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake would rather mow his lawn.
Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick would rather go golfing.
South Dakota Sen. John Thune would rather get a Blizzard at the DQ.
Ohio Sen. Rob Portman would rather build a house.
Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran would rather go to the fair.
Montana Sen. Steve Daines would rather go fishing.
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski would, also, rather go fishing.
Between all the coverage of Melania Trump's plagiarism, Ted Cruz going rogue and Trump trying to smooch his running mate, they probably know everything that happened anyway.
Hope you caught some big ones!
