What segment of America does Mitt Romney represent? Who actually can relate to him, or better yet, who does he related to?
IMO, Mitt Romney best represents the interests of Wall Street. The Wall Street types are only interested in maintaining their entrenched status. I still don't see why these people wouldn't have pushed Romney hard to get elected. They would love to have one of their own in the White House.
Other than the Mormon bloc and Wall Street types, Romney does not really have a natural constituency. At least, not in the Republican Party. Social conservatives don't trust him based on his previous support of abortion and the gay agenda (despite his convenient conversions on the issues). Economic conservatives are leery of Romney because of his big-government solutions to almost all societal problems. Capitalists should be concerned about his for the same reason. Big-government solutions to economic problems almost always favor big-business interests. The interests of the entrenched business and capitalism often diverge. IMO, Romney is far to the left of the Republican agenda but only a little to the right of the Democrat agenda.
