Mitt has 19 years of running for political office.

Mitt has won a single election in his life and didn’t reach 50% of the vote, and left the single term with 34% approval.

Mitt is not a great candidate by any measure, and he was even worse as an actual office holder.

Nineteen years of campaigning, spending records broken in every campaign, 55 to 60 million of his own spent, and still no one has any idea why he wants to be president, or what his personal politics are, or what his interest in politics is.
