re: What if Romney were President?

Though I think we might be passed the point of no return, I think Romney would have at least slowed down the fall.

Funny, people thought the same thing back in the late 70's. The middle east was falling apart, the economy was in the tank, and the mood of the people was awful. Then Ronald Reagan came along and his relentless optimism was infectious. He constantly reminded us that we lived in the greatest country in the world and that we could control our own destiny and that a robust economy would make things better - for all Americans.

Romney might not be another Ronald Reagan, but I think he was probably more uniquely qualified to be president at the time he ran than any other candidate we've had in recent history. I also think he would have brought a positive vibe with him to the office - no more "Debbie Downer", like what we have now...

40 years later nothing has changed. There's a reason for that. When Americans figure it out, then and only then will things even have a chance to change.

So basically what you're asking for is to be taken out to dinner before being fricked in the arse?

Do you ever get tired of this," both sides are evil, sheeple," schtick?
Yes, special interest drive the cart and that's not changing. Third party? Both Dems and Republicans are dug in too deep. But there are different levels of evil or incompetence right and that's what we are stuck with. What's your solution?

If you think getting 2 million viewers makes them #1 in the media, then you must be from Panama. The 3rd ranked network news show gets 3 times as many.

For starters, stop accepting that this is what we're stuck with.

very little would be different had Romney won. Just as it is now, Congress would be divided and nothing significant would pass. The only difference would be judicial appointments which is why I would never vote a Republican again.

Why do you continue to make blanket statements VB? In your mind, how exactly would Congress still be divided? He has a history of bipartisan state policy, yet your guy just bitches and moans about R's. You don't know that - it's just contrary to your idea of how he would have fared had he won.

Dude was never going to be President.
Dems held the trump ace the entire time. Never had to use it. Obama just had to bluff

With Romney as President we would be heading off a cliff... At a slightly slower pace than we are now.

Regardless of motive,Obama is hopelessly over his head. Romney has been an effective Chief Executive and has extensive experience in business,and would have been much better equipped to handle the job
