Run against a white guy in better economic times.
Have a worse hairstyle?
If Obama was white, Romney gets under 45%. Maybe not as low as 40%, but definitely enough to lose by 10%+. That would be a shellacking. He loses North Carolina and perhaps even Indiana, so he’d have matched McCain’s states. Want to see under 40%? Run Santorum against Hillary when the economy is humming along in 2016.
It seems to me that this is a big slap in the face to Trigg’s own father.
If I were Mitt, I’d be a little more than pissy with him right now.
Josh Romney is the creepy stare dude, not Tagg.
Alternatively, it could be that he wanted to run, and win, just to prove he could, but had no real clear idea what to do after that.
And at this point, he’s having to rewire his brain after running for so long and giving so much to it. He may no longer be sure he wanted it, and may be rewriting his own history for subconscious reasons.
I started a thread here many moons ago saying that I really didn’t think Romney wanted to be president anymore. Seems I wasn’t the only one who thought that!
Well, close enough. On the better days that is.
Anyway, couldn’t he have fired himself?
Yeah… something tells me he heard worse.
Somehow, Tagg is the name of the recently-founded magazine for DC lesbians. First issue was November 2012.
Coincidence?? I think so!
That’s what they said about Nixon. As a matter of fact, that’s what Nixon said about Nixon.
White man’s burden.
I’m not sure which one of them I am insulting here, but Mitt Romney isn’t Nixon.
The conspiracy goes back even further than this. Turns out George Romney didn’t want to be president either.
Then I’m gratified that both father and son had their wishes granted by the electorate.
He’s only getting a Lexus for Christmas! That’ll show him!
Come on now! That would just be gratuitously cruel!
The Wikipedia article that Marley posted said that this time around, only his wife and one son supported the idea of running in 2010.
I read an article a while back which said that Tagg was that son who encouraged him to run. Mitt was said to be doubtful, and initially thought he wouldn’t run, as mentioned in the wiki article.
If that’s all accurate, then maybe Tagg’s comments now are coming from a sense of guilt that he pushed his dad into a bad decision.
Had Mitt Romney ever not been running in the 8-10 years prior to the 2012 election?
Yes, when he was being chauffeured.
