Anyone see Romney speak last night?
-
He looked very emotional. I read somewhere that he'd been accosted earlier in the week at the airport by a Trump supporter. Presumably, he's been getting a ton of shit for what he's said.
I was only joking
-
He really looked bad. Very old and tired.
@mik yes, I watched that. He did look really tired. And older. I can only imagine the exhaustion I would feel doing my job after being in the middle of what happened during the day. (Some say they didn’t fear for their lives, but I would have been terrified). I am so impressed with all of them, anybody who is able to function under those circumstances. Watching his eyes while Hawley was speaking was interesting. He did not look very happy.

@doctor-phibes there was video from the airport and people chanting “traitor” on his plane (I think).

I have long said that, in hindsight, I wish he had won in 2012. Obama’s second term was somewhere between uneventful and bad, and a Romney presidency would have saved us from Trump.
Even during the 2012 campaign I said that I liked Governor Romney, but didn’t want a GOP president with a GOP Congress, which we then had.

I never liked Romney's tendency to flip-flop regarding his life-long held beliefs, but I have to say he was a pretty good Governor of Massachusetts, as is the current Republican, Charlie Baker.
I should probably have worried less about flip-flopping, and instead celebrated a willingness to compromise.

His face is what surprised me, but as I look at it it appears it might have just been the sun marks from ski goggles.

I like Romney, just not as much as I like Obama at the national stage. I consider Romney the “least objectionable” Presidential nominee put up by the GOP since GHW Bush. I was disappointed that Romney disavowed his own Massachusetts healthcare reform work that laid the foundation for ObamaCare, but I very much appreciated RomneyCare when I lived in Massachusetts, and generally considered Romney a very competent governor.

Blame the media. They made sure Romney could not win.

He must have lost a lot of weight. Look at how big the suit is on him. Also he needs a haircut. And he’s reading verbatim. All that is enough to look like an old pigeon.

Vulture capitalist. Fool on Russia was the best though.

I also read that Senator Romney got in a shouting match with some other Republic senators and congressmen when they were isolated in the room after they were evacuated from the chamber.
Basically - “this is the result. Are you happy now?”
