How would your record look as governor of Massachusetts?
Well, I grew up largely in Massachusetts, and I liked it. But I doubt if they ever would have elected me governor.
As for Romney, I held my tongue for the most part in the runup to election, and I even voted for him, for what good that did. But his basic mode of operation was to adopt the Democrat playbook. In fact, he was a groundbreaker—first state ever to impose gay marriage against the will of even the Massachusetts voters at the time. And despite the excuses and the pressures, it was Romney who did it.
Also the first to impose socialized medicine. The Dems really wanted it, but didn’t quite dare do it, until a Republican governor stepped up and did it for them. Clinton backed off of hillarycare, when the resistance proved too strong, but Romney was the pioneer who first pushed it through.
