Romney would have beaten 0bama in 2012 if he ran a much more careful and directed campaign. He took the gloves off at some point, perhaps out of fear of losing his “nice guy” image-—after he was just a vicious, remorseless scumbag to his Repub co-candidates in the primaries. That election was his to win as there was plenty of dissatisfaction with 0bama. But he consistently eased off his message and attack, surrounded as he was with the usual sycophants.
We FINALLY found a candidate who would actually fight back against the RAT machine.
Romney could have wiped the floor with Obama, but he was more content to be a “nice” loser than a “mean” winner.
The great irony is the Left demonized him anyway.
I pray the GOPe is paying attention, but I’m not expecting it.
