In reply to the discussion: McClatchy reporter: 'Alarming power grab' of GOP by 'misguided group of extremists' [View all]OLDMDDEM
(1,568 posts)19. So Sad
I find it so sad that a person of Mitten's character is allowed to run for president. I can remember the "anybody but Mitt" crowd and now they think he is the one to vote for. The Republican party of now is not the Republican party of 50 years ago. The party then really cared about people, not greed. Congressmen were not bought. Now we have a "businessman" that can't stop putting his foot in his mouth. It makes me question how much he had to do with his success in making so much money and running Bain. I think someone had to hold his hand. He doesn't seem to have the tenacity to be president or run a company. He is a joke.

I doubt if Mittens even knows who "his" running mate is. He just goes along with the Koch flow. nm
