FReepers have NEVER supported Romney. There was some lukewarm resignation about voting for him in 2012, but it was far from supportive.
I don't think Romney really wanted to win as evidenced by the fact that he never attacked Obama the way he attacked the other Republican candidates for the nomination, I'm pretty sure he just wanted to make sure a conservative didn't win.
If Romney is the Republican nominee in 2016, he will lose. It’s as simple as that.
Oh, I think he wanted to win. I think the issue was that he believed he was going to win. So he kicked back and tried to coast to the finish line.
Which is a seriously dumb thing to do, given the stakes.
