71. breakdown?

I am as in favor of the republicans failing in their drive to turn the US into a Dickensian dystopia as anyone else with any capacity for reason, however, I am concerned for Romney the man. This is a guy who has had the world prepared for him, and grew up with an expectation of privilege and the right of destiny. He shows occasional evidence of being emotionally brittle and holding a capacity for flashes of anger and general emotional meltdowns when cornered. For the sake of the well being of the man, we should find a way for him to navigate this disaster of a campaign into something in which he might yet save face, sufficient to grant him time to process reality against his delusional assumptions of privilege. It would be one thing to see him lose, but quiet another to have to witness a very public emotional and/or mental breakdown of a candidate for president of the United States. Surely someone in his family or some of his friends understand the risk and can help him find some reinterpretation of the abject failure he is facing.
