Mitt Romney's 47% gaffe makes him 100% unsuitable to be president

If the Republican primaries and presidential campaign have taught us anything, it is that Mitt Romney is not very good at politics. Incessant gaffes, strategic missteps, a paucity of policy prescriptions and a plethora of head-scratching tactical decisions have come to define his run for the White House. Quite simply, Mitt Romney is a bad politician.

But on Monday night, we learned something new – and profoundly unsettling – about him: he may very well also be a bad person.
