Any ideas why Romney or Paul Ryan didn't throw their hats in the race?

It seems like either one could have ran away with the nomination and taken another run at the presidency. I get they didn't have the desire to run at the start, but at the point when Trump was leading, wouldn't they think "This is a joke, I can easily win this thing"?

If there is anyone with flim making experience/knowledge, please enlighten me...

...on the game of thrones season 7 postponement. The official reason given is they need to shoot later in the year to capture winter scenes. So far they have had many winter scenes which have been in Iceland and they have always had plenty of snow. Do they honestly need it to snow in Ireland, wait for the day that happens, and hope to get in all the right takes? It seems kind of stupid... I'm pretty sure they manufacture snow rather than depend on weather reports for their snow.

It sounds like a BS excuse to me, but I have no knowledge of the industry so anyone involved in film making please enlighten me

Sharing Netflix and HBO passwords is now a federal crime

"The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals last week ruled that sharing online passwords is a crime prosecutable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act."

Which not only includes friends, but also family, spouses, and significant others. So technically I now have to leave the living room when my wife wants to watch Netflix, and she has to leave the room when I want to watch HBOgo, or we are committing a felony.... wtf??
