re: #38 kirkspencer

huh. Just listened to the whole thing, and Romney’s not coming across so badly. “If there are holes in the safety net I’ll fix them” for example.

Yes, bad phrasing, and to my mind quite contrary from other things that have been said. But not quite as bad as it looks - if I could trust him to not change his mind this afternoon.

He doesn’t mind catching them in the net, and leaving them there. It’s beyond tone deaf to say he’s not concerned about them, because they have the net. He goes on to describe the people he is concerned about, and some of them are falling into the net. Does he then quit being concerned about them?
