I don’t believe Romney was unelectable. A bit moderate, maybe, but he is a good man with a good heart who was painted as callous by the media in order to fool people into electing a man who, along with his wife, has no feelings or compassion for anyone but himself.

Romney was the only candidate who could not counter Obamacare. This is among the main reasons he was a terrible candidate.
Romney lost a winnable election, and he lost by quite a bit...including FL which Bush won in 2004 by half a million.
Romney was a terrible candidate. I was hopeful, but knew in my heart during the primaries he could not win. Despite doing better than I expected in debates and on the stump, he simply drew no one in that could be won by a more articulate, principled conservative that knows how to win people over.
Sorry, I don’t believe he is a good man. He’s a fool at best. A “good man” doesn’t want open borders and amnesty and then at the same time say we should raise the minimum wage when the two are at odds as ideas. This guy is a supposed businessman?
His campaign failed to drive Maobama’s negatives up. His advisers were overpaid, even if they were receiving minimum wage. ANY wage is too much to pay an idiot. Bob
Very well written and very true.
“A bit moderate, maybe,...”
You know, that sentiment is not merely an opinion; it’s a symptom.
If you’re able to rationalize away the harsh realities to the point that you assess Romney as merely “a bit moderate” what other politically fatal realities are you carrying to the poll with you? I’m not telling you; I’m asking you. Do your own introspection, but your external talk is coming off as fairly representative of the noncommittal wasteland that is the “squishy middle,” and THAT is a rent district The United States simply CANNOT afford to live in.
