McCain and Romney almost won. Romney certainly SHOULD have won if he hadn’t thrown the election.

The “he’s not electable” is a talking point pushed by Trump. Trump is an expert at reading his audience and marketing.

Romney got bad advice. He came out and crushed Obama in that first debate, then was bushwacked by that fat dyke Candy Crowley in the second. After that, his pollsters told him he was ahead, and just to keep chugging and not alienate people by being too nasty. He might have lost anyway, though.

He was actually good on immigration ( Trump called him "mean-spirited", for what it's worth), and would have been an infinitely better President than Obama.

I don't need Donald Trump to do my thinking for me. If we were talking about commercial real estate, I might change my tune, but on politics I do my own thinking - and I think that Ted Cruz, for as much as I like him and his positions, might very well not win against Hillary (Sanders he'd trounce, but so would my dog).
