In reply to the discussion: Washington Post: A detached Romney tends wounds in seclusion after failed White House bid [View all]ProSense
(116,464 posts)16. Wow, a story about
clueless asshole Republicans.
Hes not a poor loser, said John Miller, a meatpacking magnate who co-chaired Romneys finance committee and owns the beach house next door. Hes not crying on anybodys shoulders. Hes not blaming anybody. . . . Hes doing a lot of personal introspection about the whole process and Im not even sure thats healthy. Theres nothing you can do about it now.

In private, Romney has told friends he has little interest in helping the Republican Party rebuild and rebrand itself.
Advisers also said he felt no need to explain himself after his comments to donors about Obama using the power of incumbency to give gifts to women, black and Latino voters leaked into the public sphere. One adviser said Romney regretted the remarks coming out the way it did. Fehrnstrom, meanwhile, said, He was expressing the frustration that any challenger would feel about an incumbent who used the powers of his incumbency -- as we would have if the shoe was on the other foot.

It's presented as newsworthy because the media and pundit class adored him. That's all.
