I'd say yes.

Though I'm inclined to think Ann is as much an enabler as a victim.

Would not surprise me in the least!

He puts caged dogs on moving cars. He tackles and cuts the hair of classmates. He's an all-round asshole.

If the scumbag does win, we'd want to make sure he held it together until he didn't get to launch the nukes anymore.

He's a nastier person than Bush. I didn't think that would be possible.

He is verbally abusive.

Abusers abuse.

and she are abusive parents, not physically, but I sure can see the possibility of psychological abuse from both of them.

Oh no - she has every bit the mean streak Mitt has. Romney's a world-class jerk, no doubt, but nobody tells Ann Romney nothing she doesn't already want to hear.

You can see that in the imperious way she carries herself.

and his daddy sure sounded like an abusive asshole

That much is obvious.

On long car trips, Mitt would only let his kids have bathroom breaks when he stopped for gas. Even, I presume, when they were little.

(It's likely that he screamed at them when they couldn't hold it, too-that's typical of the type.)

Especially the 47%.
