From what I’ve read, he was never interested in politics, instead devoting his life to doing missions for his church.

Actually, Romney has been a political animal all of his life, starting as a republican intern in his early teens, attending the 1964 convention, being an activist in college, participating in campaigns and political interviews all of his life (including the 1960s), leaving the republican party because of Reagan in 1979, donating to campaigns, becoming a supporter of democrats and a democrat fund raiser and voter, and running for office for the last 20 years while spending about 55 million of his own funds and breaking spending records in multiple campaigns.

Even Ann has run for political office.

Ok, thanks for the info. I stand to be corrected. So, Mitt really didn’t like President Reagan? The best president of my lifetime? Hmmm, I guess those liberal Northeast roots of his go very deep - right into the Democrat pocket.

Oh well, he ran his campaign, gave it his all, and the results are what they are. I believe he would have been a good president and probably have been able to head off the crash that is going to come. I wonder what the takers will do when the well runs dry? Mitt and his family are very gracious, classy people and I would have been proud to call him my president. That doesn’t mean I would have agreed with him on everything, but at least he loves America, something I can’t say about the current squatter in the WH.

Multi-generational too. Mother was for abortion and father admired Saul Alinsky. People forget that. Or pretend to.
