If you mean, had his friends hold down a classmate and chopped off his hair while laughing, then yes, Mitt has been in a fight. Otherwise, I doubt the Governor’s son got into too many brawls.

Although, now that you mention it, one of the guys in LMFAO claimed Mitt gave him a Vulcan shoulder pinch when he reclined into Ann Romney’s lap in first class. So maybe Mittens does have some chops.

Are you kidding?  
IIRC, Ventura is a \*real \*killer. He either offed 1 or 3 people (no cite, IIRC, as noted). He could severely punish the three of them, while enjoying his breakfast.

Despite popular portrayals to the contrary, bullies like that are typically willing (even eager) to get in actual fights.

Of course, the real winner here is Biden. You can’t keep that man down!
