2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Romney Has Imploded [View all]whathehell
(30,476 posts)and that was when he was a "newbie" and made plenty of "mistakes"
if you think about Rev. Wright, etc.
He's now Experienced, Accomplished, and has the advantage of being
the incumbent, not to mention his very high levels of "likability"
even among those who don't like his policies. Add to that Romney's TERRIBLE personal appeal*,
even among his own party, and I think you have a "win" for Obama.
*John McCain, despite his slight "grumpiness" had nothing like Romney's awkward,
insincere, and "disconnected" quality. In addition, he had the gravitas of being a POW.
Besides money, Romney has NOTHING...No warmth, personality, no war record,
NO consistency (Is there ANY issue he hasn't flipped on?) and beyond that,
He is severely lacking in "transparency" (those tax returns) and doesn't even
have an undisputed record of business success.
His is the picture that appears when looking up the phrase "empty suit".
