Thompson was one of 100 senators. His executive experience is limited compared to Romney.
Romney's recent conversions on several key issues isnt convincing. More political expediency than political epiphany. His 35 years of support for Roe v Wade and a woman's right to have an abortion is enough right there to disqualify him. His support for gay rights, gun control and his call for nationalized health care based on his own plan called RomneyCare, marks him as a big government, liberal Republican.
Willard didnt support Reagan`s conservative agenda of the 1980`s and even opposed the Contract With America. He even shifted from being an open borders/amnesty backer to a Tancredo clone.
Thats just off the top of my head. Romneys got a horrible track record on most issues. Mitts has never been a conservative.
Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush.
I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush.
