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.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

@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.

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.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

He really looked bad. Very old and tired.
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.

"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Dog-torturing, funny underwear-wearing, married to a dancing-horse lady weirdo.
And those were the puff pieces...

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?”

Russia is kind of the all-purpose foil. It can be whatever you want it to be.
