Which is all good. Mitt needs to be retired.
“There’s no evidence he’s backing away, and if he does it in the near future, people will rightfully see it as another flip flop from him.”
He sounds like he’s trying to start backing away from it to me. As for another flip flop, if he presents a good case for why it didn’t work & wouldn’t work on the Fed. level, I think people would see it as honesty coming from direct experience with it.
If he doesn’t admit that it was an experiment that didn’t work, he has no chance.
