re: #319 HappyWarrior

Again, I am talking about why Romney lost not why Trump won. Yes, the GOP fired up its base but there’s a reason why Romney did in fact lose and you’re wrong if you think it was just that he was unable to fire up his base. And I disagree, Mitt and Trump are very similiar people. Maybe Mitt wouldn’t cheat on Ann but in many ways, he is a lot like Trump. Never forget that he grinned like a hyena the day Benghazi happened because he thought that was his ticket to the WH.

You are wrong about Mitt being similar to Trump, except in wanting to enrich the rich. Romney spoke in complete and coherent sentences, did not openly disparage people because of their race or religion, had a record of real accomplishments as governor, had wealth that he earned (maybe by firing people but not by refusing to pay those who worked for him), understood policy and was in fact the one who was responsible for showing that the ACA could succeed because he implemented it first. Trump appealed to the worst in America; Mitt would not do that.
