Dunno. I think we’d be in roughly the same spot with Romney.
Though we might actually have a budget.
He was certainly a crappy candidate though. He didn’t deserve to win.
Romney is a mainline Republican. He did not want the Presidency. The pinnacle for such a one is the Nomination of His Party in recognition for his value to the Party. But actually being president is a drag and Republican Big Men don't want that. They get their Nomination then they lie down- take a fall. Bush I tried to do that and succeeded the second time. Dole did it. McCain did it.Ford did it. Romney did it. Bush II was less than enthusiastic and at least didn't do anything overt and won.
Well, great you got your wish, so feel good about yourself.
