Who gives a red rats patoot what Romney had planned?
He never planned to win anyway,He worked hard in the Primary’s and folded in the General. He hurt his Republican opponents folded and bowed to Obama.
Romney to me is just another name to despise, for his Massachusetts version of Obamacare and his run for President he gave up on in the final months.
Those thoughts and 3 bucks will get you a cup of bitter tasting coffee. Does he know how much of your mind he continues to occupy?
I disagree...well, somewhat. I am was an ‘anybody but Romney’, and he lost for the reasons we all feared/expected. I do believe Romney as a man performed as well as anything I expected from a candidate. As a candidate, he prepared and executed extremely well. I was pleasantly surprised. His speeches, his debates (the first two), etc were very good. I commended him at the time, and won’t second guess now.
What lost this was the strategy team and underlying beliefs and skills. Romney as a man deserves a big part of this because it ultimately is his belief set that drove how the team was built. This is the problem we all had with Romney as a candidate. He is a moderate who fell for the age old myths about moderate Republicans. Their team assumed Obama would remain unpopular, and all they had to do was present a viable alternative. Everything was done to make Romney look presidential. They needed to build an undeniable case why Obama had failed, and did not do that. In essence, they let him off the ropes. The political team Reagan built for 1980 and 1984 would have eviscerated Obama.
That’s where I agree. I am pissed that the idiot consultancy class sunk this ship. I was upset during the convention when I heard a high ranking official say ‘we aren’t going to hammer on Obama failures because people already know about them’. The campaign apparatus failed dramatically, but this article and Romney preparation show they did a number of things well, at the same time. This team was simply build with the wrong people, and was outmatched in organization.
Woulda, shoulda, coulda. Who cares is right.
From a medical POV, I simply could never figure out whether this Romney geek was among the quick or the dead. "Quick ... put a mirror under his nose ... he might be alive!"
Plan? This loozaguy NEVA talked about a plan while he was wasting about a Billion of GOP funds in a campaign that made Viagra Dole look dynamic. As far as I could see, it was Pat Boone vs. Little Richard. Artificial lo-fat vanilla vs. Pepperoni Pizza. The Mormon Milquetoast couldn't sell a blanket to an Eskimo. The Mombasa MF rope-a-doped him, class warfared him, .... kept the whole campaign OFF policy ... and Mitt (WTF Kinda name is MITT?)just played along ... tried to be a nice guy. "Vote for me. I am a nice guy!" Then, after that first debate, he backed off ... a drop-kick to the Gay Kenyan's gonads woulda done the trick....Ryan was worse. Imagine letting Joey Plugs claim that he and the Soetoro Boy "knew nothing about Benghazi" when Obama watched the whole thing happening live!
Yeah, I voted for him. But next time, one of two things has to happen: (A) the Republican Party must die, or (B) its axis must shift over to the right. The Two-Party "System" is a bitch. In fact, it is more or less a one-party system with the only ideological difference being Socialism now, or Fabian Socialism, i.e., Socialism tomorrow.
Exactly.
I could have saved them a TON of time and money (but I repeat myself), by handing the lot of ‘em a pocket-size copy of the Constitution and said, “Get to work dismantling everything that isn’t spelled out in Art 1 Sect. 8.”
