(14,177 posts)You are correct on every point about Romney. He would devastate this country if he were to get in office Just the fact that he is running is bad enough. If he keeps blowing those dog whistles this nation will become more divided not less. He is stirring the pot of racism, classism, and sexism. But, that makes me feel even more sorry for him. He is a horrible person. No amount of money can change that. He is clearly and has clearly always been floundering around looking for a personality. He is devoid of good qualities. He seems to admire good qualities. He seems to admire people that have them and tries to emulate them and he utterly fails. Worse, he knows he is failing. His lack of confidence in his bullshit shows. He liked being a dictator in his company because he can't handle the challenge of interacting with people on equal footing. I think he needs mental help, I am not saying he is mentally ill oh heck yes I am, people who have good mental health don't go around putting other people down and playing cruel jokes on them. What I am saying though is his mental health is no excuse for his short comings. He needs a lot of help if he is ever to become the kind of person he desperately wants to be.
Or he could just be a world class jerk. I am fine with that either way. I don't need him to be mentally ill to be comfortable with his level of evil.
