Romney looks worse and worse. The 2012 race was actually pretty close. Obama was a known quantity: he was bad. But Romney barely campaigned. He wasn't tough. He had attacked his fellow Republicans, but he was reluctant to attack Obama. And still -- Romney came close to winning. I think by one calculation, a mere 60,000 votes in the right places would have made Romney president.

But he didn't really try.

Trump?

Trump likes to win. And he knows how.

As the Democrats are discovering: it's different this time.

Romney gave up after the first debate. He never tried again. I remain convinced that his family or business interests were threatened in some way, but then he was subsequently rewarded for standing aside.

Willard wasn’t trying to win. Neither was McQueeg. They were the ringers put up by the establishment to assure a loss to Zero. Their only real battle was to keep Conservatives away from running a real campaign against Zero.
