Anyone see Romney speak last night?
-
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.
Only non-witches get due process.

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 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.

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.

Compared to McCain, Romney had no discernible clue about about Putin or Russia. However, the apparent understanding of Russia throughout the Obama administration was dismal. The damage Hilary Clinton did as Sect'y of State will not be repaired anytime soon. Trump might have been able to do something but he either couldn't politically or didn't because it was too complicated.
The only ones who understood Russia were Reagan and Bush Sr. But then, they had first class advisors.
Elbows up!

If not for the Russia! hoax, I think Trump would have tried harder. But any overtures to Putin were immediately suspect in the media and rendered rational politics moot.
