I Don't Expect Romney Will Give A Concession Speech, Even After It's Obvious He's Lost The Election

He has no class whatsoever, and I think he'll demand recount after recount to drag it out as long as he can, hoping for a miracle.

He knew that 4 years ago was going to be tough - but he thought for sure that all he had to do this cycle was get in the race and he would win by default.

Grace and Class and Humility are nowhere to be found in this guy or his family....

It will get ugly.

I can just imagine him coming up with some bizarre excuse.

After all, this is the candidate who has had no back-and-forth with the press for over three weeks.

until he becomes known only as a trivia question:
Who was the second person in history to lose to a black man for the office of President of the USA?

Mormon crew to go to the White House the next day and try to evict the President and family and have them flown out of the country and imprisoned in some resort somewhere in Mormon land...one of their islands. He'll just install himself.

Mormonism.

He knows that he will not be President but that 200 years from now millions of Mormon children will learn that

there are 4 great Mormons

Joseph Smith
Bringham Youn
Heber J Grant (saved a bankrupt church in the middle of the depression by enforcing no polygamy and normalizing Mormonism into mainstream Americana)
Wilbur Mitt Romney who, when he came within a whisker of becoming President gained widespread acceptance of Mormonism as another version of Christianity. He even got Billy Graham to reclassify it as not being a cult.

After the election Romney will bury his personal thoughts and give a concession speech that he thinks will be remembered 50 years from now.

After the election Romney will be astonished to fine a strong relentless torent of anger from the Evangelical/Tea Party wing of the party that will blame him for the inevitable decline of the party.

They will vow never to compromise again with a non believer like McCain or a Gnostic Christian like Romney. They will committ to only vote for true believers so that Jehovah (sic) will restore them to power.
