This is an old article about the campaign of 2012. Still brings back painful memories but makes for an instructive read today on how Mitt Romney blew the election that was very winnable.

One takeaway from this article is that Mitt Romney was a reluctant candidate in 2012. After his 2008 primary loss, he did not have the fire in the belly for another run. But the GOPe establishment insisted he was the guy.

I spent some time today looking at Mitt Romney rallies from this time in 2012. And I use the term "rally" rather loosely as Mitt's campaign appearances were dull and lifeless. He would only speak for maybe 20 minutes tops and would have the same tired stump speech ridden with cliches and empty platitudes.

Golden opportunity to prevent a second Obama term was squandered and this sad picture of Mitt Romney pumping his own gas shortly afterwards pretty much sums it all up. The man was and is a pathetic loser.

In Trump, we have the most electrifying nominee since Ronald Reagan himself. A man who is accustomed to winning and one who takes no prisoners. I am confident that his general election campaign will not be repeating the mistakes of four years ago.

Excellent article, hopefully the Trump campaign will study it.

I can’t believe I ever had any faith in Romney. He was a complete and utter loser.

Historically the one saving grace may be that his incompetence may have paved the way for candidate Trump that otherwise would never have happened.

The Mittster identified himself at a rally as not just conservative, but “severely” conservative.

Uh, yeah, OK.

Romney was another dud. How did he even get in to the establishment? Romney-care was Obamacare’s father.

Romney didn’t want to win. He refused to attack Obama like he destroyed the other republican candidates. He was blinded by Obama’s impervious suit of melanin armor. Both he and McCain practically said they endorse Obama for president.

The guy lost to McCain in ‘08. So yeah, GOP, let’s pick him to run in ‘12. And dumbass me voted for him anyway.

It is risky for Republicans to rely on the tech business. It is progressive/demonrat all the way. I suspect Romney’s program was designed to crash on election day.

Romney did come off looking like a robot. He was afraid of who he is - a Mormon. Weird.
