Too bad there wasn't a "none-of-the-above" option - it would have probably won.
Romney left a lot of votes on the table with his campaign which seemed to alternate between two themes: "I not Obama" and "Me, too, just not as much". When Romney spoke on conservative themes, he seemed as uncomfortable as he would have been if he had been asked to give a speech in Icelandic - he was speaking a language foreign to him.
And his “47%” comment was a classic case of him trying to say something he thought would be pleasing to conservatives, but was unbelievably politically tone deaf.....When you have the strength of your convictions, like Reagan did, you don’t make those kinds of mistakes.
