by making Romney look "prophetic" about Russia and ACA and giving him a platform to attack his former opponent. Doubtful, however, that most people will forget that he explicitly wrote off nearly half the population in the country as not mattering because they are "takers". Plus, just, why would we want him as POTUS? Why would we want another Republican POTUS for that matter?
