Yes, it would. He would have had a very different political situation as president compared versus gov of Mass. The country is 50/50 red blue, not deep blue. He would have been supported by a national Republican party with a strong conservative base. He probably would have had a Republican legislature. His administration would have been full of relatively conservative staffers and appointees.
It’s just silly to think that a Romney administration wold have been anywhere as liberal as the Obama administration which is packed from top to bottom with leftist ideologues.
His Mass govt was packed with leftist ideologues he put there. Thats a fact of history.
“It’s just silly to think that a Romney administration wold have been anywhere as liberal as the Obama administration which is packed from top to bottom with leftist ideologues.”
His record is that of a solid liberal.
To try and claim otherwise is pure fantasy.
