2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAnn Romney knows it's over...
Caught a clip of Mitt at a speaking event. She was on stage. Flat, stoic, no apparent emotion. Either she's just really tired of it all or she knows it's over. Or both.
And I assume Mitt's campaign knows it, as well.
always looks like that.
she's a stepford wife robot.

(11,198 posts)maybe she should try it. I bet her robotic husband is jealous that she was able to eek out a tear.

(1,113 posts)I guess she hasn't seen the articles today about John Husted, the Ohio Secretary of Stat's latest antics.
One was just posted on thegrio and the other is in Columbus FreePress.

(290 posts)She comes off as very disgusted by those peasants. The thought of her becoming one of them is likely death to her. So i'm sure anything Mitt can do outside putting her back with the filth is far more preferred.

displease one's husband and it's more than getting a cold stare.
this is what i desperately hate about their religion and i feel for the women who are so mistreated by it.

(8,377 posts)No way they think it is over. There are plenty of people around them blowing smoke up Romney's ass, and that includes about 99% of the MSM.
Tutonic
(2,522 posts)like she was going to lose it at any moment. Her voice was very shaky and she ended her remarks abruptly--almost as if she continued on she would start crying. She's been told that it's over.

No coronation parade; no coronation ball.
Tragedy.

(1,773 posts)Mitt should not have been the nominee.
I'm a little disturbed he got as much support as he did.
I'm hoping the long-term cycle in the U.S. is reversing,
the odds are good, as the emotional side is strongly
tied to the economic side.

Ironic and sad in a way. I've no desire to gloat. Romney and his cohorts obviously brought this onto themselves.
Sort of like the carnival barker that comes to believe his spiel is real. Until the curtain gets pulled back and the show is seen for what it is. A carnival barker's slight of hand and word.
Romney never quite filled the role well.

(21,010 posts)Gloat? No, but I breathe a damned, deep sigh of relief. I believe this country has just dodged a bullet

Why gloat when you can celebrate!

They seriously misjudged many things.
That's gotta suck, especially after many decades of life experience.
How could they have been so wrong?
It will haunt them for years.

(24,411 posts)...and Mitt was at a podium next to her.
It was quite obvious that she knew that they are going to lose. Her face told the story.
I remarked to my husband, that wives can't hide the reality. The candidates have to keep up the smiles and press on, but the wives are just done. They can't hide it.
I noticed the same thing, for sure!

(331 posts)You have to remember that Ann Romney isn't a well lady and she could be exhausted. I hope her no emotion means Romney is loosing. I will breath on Tuesday or whenever I hear Obama announced as the winner. This race has been scary!
