Mitt is of a type that I have seen before at the local level of GOP politics: the failed candidate who assumes that their experience as a loser makes them an elder statesman of some sort whose opinion matters. Often, they hang around local GOP meetings eager to offer their views. Often sour and prickly, and sometimes treacherous, whatever good they do is commonly outweighed by the harm.
Mitt Romney is the Republican Al Gore. Not just irrelevant, but pathetic.
