"I think Romney is an excellent executive and could be a good leader. He identifies issues and gets things accomplished." I keep hearing that, but if he was such a worldbeating executive and leader in Massachusetts, why did he leave it in such sorry shape?
And why couldn't he even manage to run his own campaign in 2012?
He's a sock puppet with 1950s hair.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw the difference between the 1st debate and the next two. It was indeed a stark contrast.

The only way Romney could have appeared any limper in the next two debates would have been by laying on the floor with his tongue hanging out.
No, you weren’t the only one to notice.
Quite a few of us noticed.
*hat tip*
The Romneybots in forum, though, flipped out every time it was pointed out that Romney fought lightyears harder against Republicans than he ever fought against Obama.

He showed he could hit high and low but then he completely folded.
Was there some behind the scenes force brought into play?
But if there was some hidden vulnerability, why would he think of running again?
It all just does not add up.

How many times does Romney have to lose to get a clue ?

The only way Romney could have appeared any limper in the next two debates would have been by laying on the floor with his tongue hanging out.In fact, Mitt Romney was so riven by conflicting desires that he deserved a Faye Dunaway Award (named for her Shes my sister! Shes my daughter! rant in Chinatown) for his Make me president! Dont let me be president! ambivalence. He expressed it passive-aggressively, by allowing himself to be bullied ever farther to the right during the primarieseven as he bullied his opponents personally from still farther right. It made him seem both weak and nasty.
And you could see the ambivalence in his body language. When Mitt walks forward, his short, halting steps seem to pull him back, turning a brief trip to the microphone into a parody of a middle-aged white person moon-walking. On stage, during debates, hed often look on wistfully, almost dreamily, at the other candidates while they spoke, as if hed be ecstatic, as Tagg says, if only somebody like that could win the coveted office.

Apparently he wants to focus on his hobby.
Which is getting undue adulation from idiots, and running spoiler campaigns in politics.
He is a political drama queen.

Mitt, the Jello Candidate.
Amorphous, jiggly, and gelatinous in his properties.

In my opinion, a big government republican would actually be worse than a big government democrat. If we allow Obamacare and the massive Obama deficits to stand during a republican presidency, those disasters will stand for as long as the United States survives, which will not be long.
Romney, another Bush, Rubio, and Christie are completely and totally unacceptable. America’s best hope is electing a small government conservative as president, and even that may not save the country. Our second best hope would at best be extremely ugly - the last time states chose to separate from the Union was almost as destructive as Obamacare. I pray that we can avoid a second civil war.

I never doubted for a second Mitt would run. He thinks he got cheated out of the Presidency in 2012 and he probably did. He is not about to let Jebbie step in and grab the nomination.

DOA. Gruber-gate.From 2012 (even before Gruber-gate) ...
Republicans cannot credibly run on repealing Obamacare with Romney as the nominee.
Romney Gives Mass. Health Reform an 'A' (in July, 2009)
"The portrait depicts the governor seated at the front edge of his desk wearing his trademark business suit. Beside him is a small framed photo of his wife, Ann, and ... [wait for it] ... a copy of the health care reform law he called his greatest achievement.
