18. Remember his words at the time, it kills him not to be in Washington.

Kind of explains his bitter passive aggressive remarks referencing Jeb recently.

A reflective Mitt Romney today blamed his loss in the presidential election last November to his inability to connect with minorities, the former Republican nominee admitting to Fox News’ Chris Wallace that it still “kills him” not to be in Washington.

“We did very well with the majority population but not with the minority populations and that was a real failing, that was a mistake,” said Romney, when asked why he believes he lost the White House last fall.
