Romney did not deserve to lose the election.
“Romney did not deserve to lose the election.”
True. But he didn’t deserve to win the GOP primaries.
Romney,
McCain
Dole
Bush I
Dewey
ALL deserved to lose. The GOP establishment likes candidates like them, who have no vision and stand for little.
Heck, Romney chose “Believe in America” as his campaign theme. Obama could have chosen that. Most of the rest of Romney’s campaign had cutting edge messages, like “I’ll create more jobs.” “The President is a good man who tried, but didn’t get it done” “There should be fish in the rivers” “Your future is ahead of you” [oh, wait, the last two were Dewey].
Reagan ran on important themes. Romney tried not to make mistakes or offend anyone by not taking risks.
Reagan stood for things. Romney wanted to be POTUS.
I take no delight in Zero winning, but Romney didn’t deserve to win with such a lousy campaign - conducted by people HE chose and supported.
