Everyone KNOWS what a dick looks like, except, apparently Romney.
He has an amazingly dense perspective of America and Americans. Every time he opens his mouth he either insults someone or lies. He's got a fake agenda and some 'zingers.' He's going to be laughed off of the stage; or just completely tuned out. The man just doesn't wear well. Standing beside Barack Obama, his bull is either going to humiliate him or alienate voters watching.
Romney's like a man undressing behind a transparent screen. Little known to the arrogant jerk, EVERYONE looking on can see his ass.

(34,845 posts)If Romney comes across as aggressive, Obama will look relaxed. If Romney tries to relax, Obama will go for the jugular.
You cannot win against an expert debater unless it's solely on the points being made. From what we've seen of Romney, there is no 'there' there. Ergo, he has already lost.

(115,861 posts)"the guy who fired your dad" rings very true. He's the bad boss. He's the arrogant, demanding restaurant patron whose tab is $200 but leaves a $5 tip. He's Bill Lumberg in "Office Space." You just can't like him, no matter how hard you try, because you know deep down that he doesn't like you. In fact, Mitt Romney doesn't like anybody who isn't Mitt Romney - everybody else is just the help. And it's impossible not to feel that contempt come right through your teevee screen.

(86,005 posts)Romney's just plain unlikable. He smells of elitism and snobbery; he bleeds it from his pores.
Moreover, his policies and statements actually reflect all of that.

(13,218 posts)There's lots of others I could have used as an example. Rmoney is total lacking in charm (compare W who was lacking in grace but had some charm). He knows what it's supposed to be and emulates it very well, but emulation is all it is; it comes off quite hollow. This illustrates another weakness of Mitt's: he just doesn't get it nor does he realize that he doesn't get it.
