I have never EVER seen a more spoiled rotton presidential loser than I've seen with Mitt Romney. I mean I thought Sarah Palin was kinda bad as a VP-Loser but at least McCain seemed reasonable. And mind you I've been following presidential elections since Jimmy Carter.
But never have I seen a more spoiled rotton brat that Mitt Romney. I mean if this is how he acts when he loses election then thank god we didn't elect him. I mean could you see how Mitt would act if Congress defied him or one of our allied countries told him 'No, not interested'. Mitt Romney could make George W. Bush look presidential and that's saying alot.
SO dear Mitt do the entire country a favor - GO AWAY. You know not only do the progressives not like you but most of the Tea Party hated you but felt you were the only option against Barack Obama. And I know you've got alot of wealthy billionaires a tad bit upset that their investments in your campaign didn't pay off.
So maybe it's time for you do to a world tour of your off-shore bank accounts and then maybe return to Mexico to where the Romney's lived so they could practice polygamy.
Because the rest of the country for the most part would prefer you just disappear. And please take your wife and 5 kids with you too!
Thank you.

(3,894 posts)I think he should stick around to continue to shine the bright light on the true nature of the Republican party. The longer he is around the more the Repubs are pressured and exposed regarding their perspectives and the lies they spew about said perspectives.
Stick around Mitt, keep that foot firmly planted in your mouth.

(111,383 posts)I love that these characters are being given so much air time. It reminds us wall why we voted them OUT.
I remember in 1996 that Bob Dole made the rounds of the talk shows for a couple of months. Once he was away from his handlers, he turned from a cranky old man into a guy with a sense of humor, a good one.
Fortunately for us now, Mitt is being himself, too, the same stiff, pandering jackass he was on the campaign trail, with petulance at being denied a bright, shiny toy first and foremost.
I love the smells of schadenfreude and validation in the morning.

Can't say the same for his wife though - was so glad to see her lose in 2008.

(13,874 posts)One thing in my youth I was certain of was that I would never see a worse President than Nixon, and then W came along and I absolutely knew nothing could be worse. Romney becoming President would have, in my opinion, been the most disastrous event in American democracy.

(115,900 posts)And this was the biggest thing he ever wanted; he assumed he would get it, just like he got everything else. And he can't seem to process the fact that he didn't get this Very Big Thing that he not only wanted but felt entitled to. So he's blaming it on all the stupid little people, the moochers and takers (that would be you and me) who failed to see his greatness because we are a bunch of foolish children who were distracted by all the stuff Obama was giving us, like six-year-olds on Christmas morning (hey, Barack, where's the 10-speed food processor I wanted?).
Will he go away on his own? I don't know. But I'm guessing the GOPers will do their best to "disappear" him like they did W. They'll dump him down the memory hole and hope nobody mentions him for awhile. He'll be kind of like the relative nobody wants to invite to family gatherings any more because of disturbing but unproven rumors of inappropriate behavior with farm animals.

(8,217 posts)Back then, unless they actively sought out an interview, or someone was paying for an interview, they just get relegated to the back pages quick.
Also, articles about celebrities and their day to day things is a somewhat recent phenomenon, at least not till the early 80s. I think it was the advent of Entertainment Weekly? I forget.
Still, it doesn't excuse him, just that there are more avenues to show a train wreck.

(26,549 posts)On the one hand, I'm quite pleased for Romney to continue to destroy the Republican brand.
On the other hand, he's providing a nice punching bag for Jindal and others to try and provide distance between themselves and the crazy.
