Tagg Romney on his dad before the debate: "He gets terrified! Terrified is too strong a word. But he gets butterflies like anyone else"

7:51 PM - 17 Oct 12



Terrified ISN'T too strong a word if it's the accurate one, the first one that comes to mind, as it obviously did. I don't believe that if Romney just felt "butterflies" his son would have said he was "terrified."

And FWIW, I thought he seemed terrified at times last night.



Coppins also tweeted the link to the radio program where Tagg made that comment, as well as the other one already being posted about here, about wanting to take a swing at the President:

Bubble life does that to a person.

You'd figure that any question at any moment could be a disaster of epic portion in front of millions of people.

Oh My!!

it's so hard for him to keep all of his lies straight, not to mention he can't seem to keep his foot out of his mouth even on a good day.

His syntax is so unintelligible because he has told so many lies to so many people he can no longer remember which lies he told to which people.

Here is Mitt's little shit suggesting that his father gets "terrified," not long after his mother said she is worried about MItt's "mental well-being.".

and then, since he didn't get to screen the audience, he doesn't know which Mitt is the Mitt he should be. Should he be "pro-choice Mitt" or "overturn Roe v Wade Mitt?" Should he be "Ryan budget Mitt" or "Moderate Mitt?" Should he be "drive out the illegals Mitt" or "pro-Dream act Mitt?" Should he be "47% Mitt" or "100% Mitt?"

And why is the black chauffeur next to me on the stage and why keep does he keep talking? Why are the audience and Candy asking the chauffeur questions instead of me?

And why isn't Annie smiling? She's staring at the chauffeur. She's obviously angry at the chauffeur. The impudence of that chauffer. But I need her to smile at me so I'll know I'm on. Wait, she's looking at her hands. I can't tell how I'm doing...her face is *in* her hands now.

It's so hard. Stop it people. Stop it. This is hard.

then how the heck is he going to handle being President of the United States?? The man would be a basket case every day. Frankly, I thought he looked more angry than terrified last night, but that's just me.

concern for Mitt's mental health if he gets elected = MANY reasons for concern.
