Didn’t love Romney as my favorite choice, but he painted and excellent contrast to Obama and the people voted for Santa Clause Obama.
Romney wasn’t perfect, but I know of few candidates who are.
Keep in mind even Ronald Reagan could not make Governor in CA at this time.
The people are different.
We are IMO seeing 40 years or more of the effect of give-aways, growing government employment, brainwashing by union teachers and allowing grade school dropouts from outside our nation into our country and on our dole demanding more.
We had much greater issues than Romney IMO.
This was not a failure on the Republican/conservative side outside of those committing suicide who did not vote.
Reagan would have stomped Obama, the problem was Romney, the goofy, gaffe ridden, lefty Massachusetts governor who was a disastrous candidate for his entire 20 year history of campaigning.
Aside from his dedicated liberal politics in general in which he closely resembles Obama, Romney created the biggest issue that the GOP wanted to run agaist in 2012, Romneycare.
History will ponder how Romney was the choice to run against Obama, their similarities are incredible.
