Mitt Romneys son says that his defeated dad never actually wanted the top job and he was reluctantly convinced to run for president.
He wanted to be president less than anyone Ive met in my life. He had no desire to run, the eldest Romney son Tagg said in an interview with the Boston Globe. If he could have found someone else to take his place he would have been ecstatic to step aside. He is a very private person who loves his family deeply and wants to be with them, but he has deep faith in God and he loves his country, but he doesnt love the attention.
Tagg says that he and his mother Ann were the ones to help convince Mitt to put his own personal reservations aside and focus on the needs of the country.

Tore up his own side pretty viciously - didn’t he? The little b*tch wanted this REAL bad. Sour grapes is the thing. Poor little Tagg - he won’t be next in line for the office.
Learn to live with reality. Barack Hussein Obama’s dad was never a US citizen. I have news for you..YOU do not get to decide who is NBC, only SCOTUS and congress get to decide and they are just fine with “Hawaii” born Barack.
Passing the blame on others for losing election is not good enough. Good candidates win on their own merits. Recall Ronald Reagan? GOPe were unanimously against him, but he won because he was a good candidate. Ditto with Scott Walker in WI. Also Bob Mcdonnell.
I do not see any good candidates in my list of losers. But I love them because they are good conservatives with 2 or 3 exceptions. I contributed to many of them. But in the end, the winner takes it all (ABBA song). Therefore I will only support those in the future who show me they can win easily.
Nonsense. The Founders gave us a written Constitution precisely so that the PEOPLE could give their consent to be governed by it, and call government officials to account when they do not observe it. I am one of the people.
The definition of NBC at the time of the writing and ratification of the Constitution—and therefore what the people gave their consent to—was that found in Vattell: a person born of parents who were both citizens at the time of his birth.
The abject corruption of our current government officials does not affect the definition of any term used in the Constitution.
Barack Hussein Obama is still ensconced in the White House last time I checked in spite of your constitutional interpretation.
It does not matter what you think. The powers that be decide what is constitutional, not you.
We already know McCain didn’t want to be President, so if Tagg is telling the truth then the Liberal Messiah effectively ran unopposed in 2008 and 2012. A double Republican forfeiture. F’en awesome.
I am well aware that an illegal alien is ensconced in the WH.
The powers that be decide how treason will be punished or rewarded. They don’t decide what’s constitutional.
“Dad never wanted to be President”
I don’t believe that for one moment. If that were the case, he wouldn’t have run in the primaries against McCain. He certainly wouldn’t have went after the Presidency again in 2012. He has been in the run for the White House for eight years!!!
I don’t know why his family feels the need to lie.
What a bunch of horse manure. Didn't he try to run in 2008 as well?
And he couldn't be man enough to say NO to his wife or kid?
Thanks for nothing, you sh**!
