While the democrats obviously deserve most of the credit for what happened to Detroit, it was George Romney who invited the communists in to begin with by calling on Saul Alinsky to help.
Barry Goldwater got 800+ votes at the GOP convention..
George Romney got 41 votes..
Romney stomped out of the building in rage followed by his impressionable teenaged son Willard..

Romney gave money and aid to the Democrat Johnson..
and then in 1968 Romney again did not win...
Willard the son is just copying Big Daddy George and what he was taught when he stabs our Conservative candidates..
“and then in 1968 Romney again did not win...”

No. He didn't endorse or support either candidate.
He also didn't walk out of the convention.
