So, two time Congressman, Senator, two time vice president, a stolen election against JFK in 1960, failed to knock off incumbent gov, Pat Brown in 62, and in 1968 he became president, followed by 1972, one of the biggest landslides in history, becoming the first republican presidential candidate to win the Catholic vote.
Romney is a political failure. Romney has won a single election that he won with less than 50%, in his more than 20 year career, and he served that single term as a failure and had to give up his goal of reelection, leaving office with 34% approval and turning the seat over to the democrats.
Romney ran against nobodies for 2008 and lost to two guys with no money or organization after he broke spending records and spent 50 million dollars of his own money, then in 2012 he squeaked it out as America kept desperately rotating among his nobody challengers for someone besides Mitt, then he lost the election against Jimmy Carter’s second term, an election that was almost impossible to lose, and it wasn’t even close.
I’m not selling Romney.
I’m just saying he might be inspired by Nixon’s comeback.
My own view is that Romney has almost no shot at the nomination in 2016. He was a weak candidate, just like McLame. All the billions aren’t going to make that much difference.
