If he'd have owned it, and kept up the pressure on Obama, he still would hace lost because the fix was absolutely in.

Obama was a stage managed candidate. And not the orator people said he was. He was no Bobby Kennedy. He was vulnerable.


Most overrated orator ever. People confused swagger and cadence with great speech making. He was haughty every single time as well.

just because he didn't connect with you personally that doesn't mean he wasn't a good candidate.

i swear some of you are worse about this stuff than you are about your teams. Take the elephant glasses off.

Are you obtuse or just intentionally dishonest.

Didn’t say he wasn’t a good candidate. Just an overrated orator.

If electors voted per congressional district vs. winner take all per state, Romney wins 2012.

Obama was a good candidate, that's why if the Democrats think they can have similar result by just throwing any minority candidate in the general, they will be very well mistaken. Kamala Harris would be a disaster.

Romney looked as if someone was holding his horse hostage in the second debate and if he went too hard on Obama they were going to commit suicide.

If I didn't already know your level of intellect, I'd call you out for being intentionally obtuse.

This is a pointless hypothetical. There's no possible world in which Romney owns those comments.

He's 100% bitch through and through. He had to run off to Momonville to run for office because he can't stand up to the slightest criticism.

From watching polling since the 1992 pres election, the bedrock number for Democrats is around 40%.

I'm going to have to agree with you on this one, DS. Obama was an extremely talented candidate.

Romney: There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what.


Thank god Donald Trump didn’t think that way. Unlike 99% of the professional political punditry in the country, Trump believed (or at least claimed to believe) he could pick off enough of those traditional 47%ers (minorities, union people, etc) to turn states like PA, WI, OH, and MI. He did it, and he won.
