He really looked bad. Very old and tired.

Did you see the viral video of him from the night before last? In the airport? He looked fine there.
Yesterday must have taken a lot out of him.

I always really liked the guy. Was rooting for him over Obama.

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.

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 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.

I cannot help but wonder where we would be had he won in 2012.

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 think that is a valid point, jon.

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 think it’s just marks from wearing COVID-19 face mask for too long.

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.
