Romney didn’t go to the Harvard School to become a lawyer, which he didn’t. The JD–MBA from Harvard University Program of Study offer students guidance on structuring an academic program that will give them exposure to the law, policy, theory, and practice in their chosen areas of focus. His was business and he has a BA in English from BYU. He has never received a law degree nor attempted one. Calling that a law study to become an attorney is like saying a student plays intramural basketball because he wants to play in the NBA. His first major position in business was with Bain and Company and he was instrumental as CEO for Bain to assist the creation of Bain Capitol. No lawyer, no law degree.
Yes there are many lawyers in the GOP just like every other group in the US. But none that are president or run for it, like I said.

“No law degree”
A JD is a law degree. Romney’s got one. BTW His Bain capital also destroyed a lot of jobs.
Anyway, this is a simplistic argument. The Bush-Cheney Administration was a disaster, even though neither was a lawyer. And the fact they were Republicans doesn’t make their record any less bad, the recession/depression they left any less deep, the unending wars they started any less destructive and expensive, and the immigration policy any less open. I’m tired of being told “you must always applaud the Republicans” like I’m a toddler. GOP has given us some stinkers, even without law degrees (and sometimes - Mitt - with them)
