Sadly the problem with Romney was that we didn’t humanize him.
Or he wasn’t comfortable with baring his soul and good deeds; just like the Bushes.
Romney was seen as competent, confident, and a leader, but that isn’t enough anymore like it was for Bush the Elder who reminds me of Romney. Again it shows how the country has changed for the worse. It’s why Bush II had to run as a compassionate conservative - a term we hated in its redundancy.
Presidential elections are popularity contests now like The Idol or The Voice. Romney was not comfortable on The View or late night shows, nor was he treated kindly. Those were the only places one saw the Marxist during the campaign. It was the strategy that won it for him.
Until we crack that social media, it’s going to be tough sledding in the age of the ignorant voter.
I would say a good portion of the negative change you are observing, has to do with America losing jobs to foreign competitors.
Enough is enough.
Close our markets, to the extent other markets are closed to ours.
Now.
I thought they did all they could to re-package an inveterate lying flip-flopping, pro-choice, pro-gay, anti-gun, pro-big government liberal.
How anyone sees and warmth and humanity in the Marxist is beyond me ? I guess it’s good enough to just be hip and cool.
