President Romney

This guy was one of the most polished, POTUS ready candidates that has been on a ticket in the last 100 years.
He had the misfortune of having his permission slip stamped to run at a time when he had to face the buzz saw of the "Too Big To Fail" first black president.
Any Republican presidential candidate already has a hell of an uphill climb and I honestly believe 2016 is the last time a Republican has any hope of winning the presidency, but if this guy pulls it off, this country is gonna have a few breaths in it that it wouldn't have otherwise.
If he gets there, we will get a spring in our step and snap back for a little bit before the demographics take complete control and we go down hard.

Serious question: What was the conservative/Republican turnout?
I honestly don't remember but don't be so quick to let your fellow voters off the hook on this one.

I would vote for him again in a heartbeat.

I'm not a Romney fan, but I've said it before, if he throws his hat in the ring, I think he wins this go around... So much "I told you so" ammo

Romney was by far the most qualified executive. He'd do great things from the WH.

A tip of the hat to how hard Romney has worked this election season for Republican candidates.
Know where he's spending Monday? In the cold of Alaska campaigning with Dan Sullivan for that important Senate seat.
Class guy, was just too "stiff" in front of the cameras and microphones to get his true personality and inner fire across to the voters.

He would have cut tax rates across the board but increased military spending all over the place. And unfortunately his decision making would have been based on keeping himself "polished".
His main benefit would have been cooperation from the House, which unfortunately is just party politics.

Romney reminded me of a country club republican in the mold of Dwight Eisenhower and Bush 41. Those were people who knew how to govern and effectively made very narrow decisions instead of all encompassing like Obama. He also had a very good foreign policy as well and didn't go batshit crazy with the military like Bush 43 did but wasn't complacent like Obama is on foreign policy as well as he wouldn't be caught dead making a statement like the JV squad and going golfing after making a statement on Isis.

Even though there were a number of things I disagreed with him on, I will always believe that Romney would have been a tremendous President.
After watching the Mitt documentary on Netflix I was infuriated for about a week that he didn't let his personality shine through as much as he should have.

Sorry, but that is loser talk. There is no reason Hispanic immigrants could not vote (eventually) republican. Sure we might have to wander the wilderness for a bit for our dumbass nativist wing; but:
1. There are plenty of pro-immigrant conservatives (like me)
2. There are plenty of former immigrant groups that vote conservative now when they originally voted democratic (southern european and asian are the two groups I am mostly thinking of).
Republicans should be the party of ideas and those ideas can transcend demographics.
