Romney got so much right

This should be about what Obama got wrong - not what Romney got right.

If Romney had gone after Obama like he went after Gingrich and Santorum, we would be in a much different country right now.

However, Romney showed he didn't have the ability to think on his feet when the trap set by Candy "check the transcript" Crowley caught both him and his prep team off guard and he let Obama slide instead of confronting him with the truth.

Lots of candidiates sucked, it’s just they all now look good compared to the current BO in the WH.

[chris37]

But you know what he got wrong?

How to win.

Too bad, so sad, won’t vote for the putz again.

[KoRn]

He might have been right about many things during the campaign against 0-Tard, but he was a terrible candidate to run, and about as personable/likable as a corporate executive. NOT presidential material.

On the other hand, he probably would have been great in a cabinet position.

Jimmy Carter called , he want’s his foreign policy back..

All he had to do was:
a)find a green party candidate to run, ala Ralph (but a younger Ralph

b)find a Sharpton like young (real) black to start and run a African American Party

c)find a gay man or woman to run as a candidate for the rainbow party

Is the Media choosing your next Candidate, AGAIN???

[CommerceComet]

It’s not hard to get more things right than someone who never gets anything right. Yet, any Republican candidate is better than Romney, the modern-day Nelson Rockefeller.

Oftentimes the best portion of the article is the conclusion. And this one is no exception....

 

While Romney might have been the president the country needs today, it’s not so clear he’s the candidate of tomorrow.

[dfwgator]

Romney’s job was to stop a conservative from getting the nomination. He accomplished that. He mailed it in during the general campaign.

[Sir Napsalot]

And we would still have Obamacare, with endless tweaks.

And the VP pick, inside the beltway business as usual.

And and and .....

[JRandomFreeper]

Romney didn't even match his party platform. Why would anyone vote for him?

He's definitely not the candidate of tomorrow. Mrs. Romney appeared on numerous talk shows after the election saying that this was "their" last campaign. So unless he gets a divorce, I'm pretty sure Mitt is out.

[Logical me]

Obamacare was created one hell of a time before Romneycare. It was in the burner with King Obama’s communists army and was written up. Get your facts straight. Romney made it clear that he would repeal Obamacare and that the Federal Government should never get involved in health care. He made it clear that health care was a State issue.

[sickoflibs]

He was too timid during the Obama debates on Benghazi.

He stuck his foot in his mouth of his 47% view of America.
We don’t need super-rich GOP candidates making clear that they look down on us.

I knew back then he would try to sign an amnesty bill regardless of his making believe he wouldn’t back then.

He was so phony no telling what he would have done as POTUS..

[dfwgator]

He had the chance to attack Obama on Benghazi, but once the media criticized him for it, he cowered in the corner and sucked his thumb.

I'm not so sure. He's such a henpecked husband, I wouldn't be surprised if she's got the itch again and it's the Mrs. that's pushing this. Hey! Third time's the charm in presidential runs, right? [rolls eyes]

[CatherineofAragon]

He got a lot of things wrong, too.

Just one of those was, "Two people of the same sex who love each other(nausea surge) should be able to adopt children."

[deadrock]

Not only all that, I would bet the farm that his SCOTUS nominees would have been left wing wack jobs.

[kabar]

his “self-deportation” immigration rhetoric, his writing off of the “47 percent,” and his failure to defend his own business record.

He was right on the first two and wrong on the last one.
