You know? It really could be that. If you think about it, everyone says that Mittens lost because he was a chickenshit who wouldn’t attack and fight back.

He got his first taste of battle when he first spoke out in the Benghazi events as they unrolled and the media bitch slapped him something terrible. He never recovered from it.

Fast forward him through a campaign where “that dog didn’t hunt” and loss and then he sees Trump doing exactly what he should have done all along. Attack, attack, attack - and don’t give a crap what the media says. Just get them talking about you......

Could very well be envy and jealousy.....yep

It was said way back when Romney first engineered a path through politics to the nomination that he wanted to succeed where his dad failed. So, he did all the right stuff, but no passion. He lost to a person who lacked the grace, pedigree, and credentials that Romney has. Romney's been high on that superiority mountain, good family man, loyal, holier-than-thou. Romney conveyed that he lost because his superiority was beyond the comprehension of most US voters. And now, along comes Trump, fundamentally a more decent, loyal, passionate and likeable person.

Then there's the Bain Capital situation. You don't have to spend long in MA to find someone whose financial life was ruined by that hedge fund's slice and dice tactics. It may not be over. Quick research of "Romney and Bain Capital" brings up the potential of some RICO violations and lawsuits coming his way. So maybe part of it is that losing control of the lawmakers and judiciary could unravel Romney's financial success.

Gaffer, everything is surreal. It seems sometimes we're in a for real Matrix, and an epic Shakespeare type tale of downfall, destruction, and heroism (we hope) is playing out, and they're all following some epic script.

I know that's crazy. It's all just so weird from anything we ever could have imagined...globally, nationally, and in the political arena.
