Ann Romney is watching this presidential election very closely. Her husband, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, ran for the Oval Office twice.
"It's always hard to beat an incumbent president," she said. "I mean, it was tough for us. This cycle is very unique and it's something that's unexpected and obviously different than any of us would have ever imagined."
The former first lady is back in Boston to promote her new memoir, In "This Together." The book chronicles her struggle with multiple sclerosis, but also offers details about her husband's presidential bids.
This year features a densely populated field for the Republican nomination.
"Hard to understand," said Ann Romney. "But at the same time, not. Because I think it represents a sentiment that's in the country where the American people are fed up and feeling like they're not being represented in Washington."
Mitt Romney briefly thought about entering the 2016 race back in January, deciding to stay out - but that was long before Donald Trump surprised the nay-sayers by getting in.
He said recently that Trump will not be the party nominee - even as Trump has been leading in the polls for months.

"I can't imagine even trying to figure out where we are going to end up," Ann Romney said, with a laugh, of the notion of voting for Trump. "I'm assuming that Mitt and I will be voting for the Republican nominee, but honestly, Alison, I could tell you right now I have no idea who that would be."
In the past, Mitt Romney has been a part of a draft movement. Necn asked Ann Romney if that would be a possibility.
"You know, I would say, never say never. I think Mitt says 'Never say never,' but I can't imagine that scenario," she said. "It seems very unlikely. I will say, it happens to us constantly that people are still after us."
