 In 2012, Clint Eastwood graced the RNC stage in support of Mitt Romney, who was hoping to defeat sitting President Barack Obama and his then-Vice President Joe Biden. Eastwood framed his speech as a conversation with Obama, who, of course, wasn't there, so Eastwood spoke to an empty chair. What do you want me to tell Romney? I can't tell him to do that. He can't do that to himself. You're crazy. You're absolutely crazy. That's it.
