Mitt’s arrogance and sense of superiority is what led him to leave the GOP when Reagan was winning the nomination in 1979, Romney despises conservatives, devoted Christians, gun owners, patriots and anyone else who makes up the “right”.
Romney is awkward as the republican nominee, because he is having to play an uncomfortable roll and campaign as a moderate republican instead of as a liberal.
Poor Ann is totally confused by how to play republican to the masses.
Here is vintage Ann, woman of the people describing how they barely survived being dirt poor in college, of course both of them were minor celebrities, and wealthy, but as she describes it they ate a lot of “pasta” and tuna and were forced to live on loans from the parents and stocks.
“”Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time. The stock came from Mitt’s father. When he took over American Motors, the stock was worth nothing. But he invested Mitt’s birthday money year to year—it wasn’t much, a few thousand, but he put it into American Motors because he believed in himself. Five years later, stock that had been $6 a share was $96 and Mitt cashed it so we could live and pay for education.
Mitt and I walked to class together, shared housekeeping, had a lot of pasta and tuna fish and learned hard lessons.””

OMW! That’s exactly how I got thru college and graduate school. EXACTLY. Such a small world. /s
I actually don’t begrudge folks who come from wealth or who were lucky enough to have parents/relatives who were able to help w/ education, home, business....whatever. I think that part is great. Never personally had it...but I have friends who have been fortunate to have had a helping hand from their well off family. My lucky friends knew they WERE lucky and were so very grateful for the helping hand. They certainly never got all hoity toity over their good fortune.
No...to me, there’s something else there that is the cause of this Romney arrogance. It can’t just be because they’re rich. I mean W and Laura were rich...and Laura never came off as screechy and aggogant. And truth be told...I don’t even mind a bit of arrogance...if the person has ‘earned’ the right to be arrogant.
So far, at least to me, neither Willard or Ann have done much to give them that ‘earned’ right of a bit of arrogance.
Oh gosh...wish that it was November already. :::sigh::::
