I think you’re boiling this down to the point that it looks silly.
Obama has been very bad for business. All Romney would have to do is reverse a lot of the regulations implemented under Obama to get things headed in the right direction.
Support permits for Gulf drilling. Allow the pipeline from Canada. Get the EPA off the back of the coal, and other industries. End a majority of Obamacare.
Romney covered this stuff. People chose to ignore it.
It was sound policy. Kudos to Romney for making the points. You can lead a horse to water...
That imaginary but likely exchange shows the serious problems that Romney had running as a Bush like candidate. That problem stems from the GWB years and the GOP apologist arguments that followed.
Of course Romney avoided the GWB subject like the plague because he knew this. But that didn’t work. He needed to be able to address it directly but couldn't.
He is just another irrelevant loser, In fact he didn't even leave any marks on Obama, He was so civil to him. It was O that went negative and demonized Romney.
Romney just wasted every ones time. I give him nothing.
