Related: About this forumMitt Romney's mental stability
Ann Romney on The View today:
Describing why their sons call her the Mitt stabilizer. "I walk into a room and I'm happy then Mitt dumps everything on me and I have to calm him down and stabilize him."
Also, while on his Mormon proselytizing mission in France Mitt heard that Ann was dating others which "put him in the hospital."
She seemed proud of that fact. I wish someone had followed up on that statement by asking what exactly happened.
It doesn't sound like a man who can withstand the rigors of the presidency.

So was she trying to change the subject of why he was really in the hospital? Or was this a separate incident?

(2,345 posts)The accident left Mitt badly injured, and he was actually pronounced dead at the scene by the first police officer to arrive. He spent a lengthy period of time recovering in a French hospital.
WTF!? he died in France? Is he an alien cyborg... or just an Alien looking to enslave the Earth!?

(19,458 posts)sounds like a fucked up marriage. He sounds like a complete asshole. A narcissist, who doesn't have any empathy for the people around him.
Can anyone name any CLOSE FRIEND that guy has? I have yet to see anyone in the media or on his campaign trail that is TRULY a good friend of his. He's toxic. And the media knows this. They are around him...
The only reason this is close at all is because he is not the President, and he is selling snake oil to people that they'll get rich because he did. He's like one of those con artist Self Help/Get Rich gurus that sell people thousands of dollars of stuff on how THEY got rich (by selling shit to other people.)

(14,532 posts)Are you saying that because you were having so much fun, Mitty got so angry he got behind the wheel of a car and killed someone? Is that what you are trying to say?

So, were they "engaged" all that time? But she dated other men? Weird arrangement.

Folks like that are nonfunctional in any stress related situation and get mean, snarfy & melt down.
Can we afford a mind like that holding the little red football? I think not.

(14,933 posts)events? Rachel Maddow pointed out this recurring pattern last night.
An entire week off after the RNC Convention.
No events the day after the first debate.
No events the day after the second debate.
Does Mitt need time to "decompress"?? Is Mitt unable to handle high pressure situations, as was so CLEARLY evidenced at the debate?
I'm sorry to sound like a NURSE, but all anyone has to do is watch him unravel at a debate or when challenged, and connect the dots.
Something is wrong in MittWorld.

(19 posts)This is really disconcerting. I am a nurse and I feel that there is something definitely "not right" with his emotional capacities. Mrs. Romney please do something for your husband. He needs help. It won't be a pretty picture if he is elected. Has he been abusing you, Mrs. Romney?

Swede Atlanta
(3,596 posts)He is a very angry man. He has had everything in life handed to him on a silver platter. His success in business was not because he was a self-made man. Similar to GWB he had family money behind him and, even more important, a family name and family connections. His business success, as we know it, was by buying up companies on the cheap, loading them with debt, bankrupting them, either shutting them down and moving the jobs to China or stripping workers of salary and benefits all the while making millions in so-called consulting fees. He hasn't earned an honest dollar in his life.
So he fully well expects he can buy his way into the White House. He, and his 1% friends, think they deserve the White House, their tax cuts, their tax havens, their ever increasing wealth. Talk about people that feel entitled. It isn't the working poor in this country it is the non-working wealthy that just get a few million dropped into their spare change account every month.

(801 posts)So who will be running the WH and keeping Mitt from going ballistic over everything? If he is that way at home being wealthy and having everything at his command to help solve problems, etc., what will he be like at the WH with major decisions to make? Very frightening!
And what about her judgment in allowing him to run for president?

(56 posts)their marriage certificate...maybe they didn't get married (Ann's parents were NOT allowed to witness the ceremony in the church because they weren't Mormons) Perhaps the pressure is just too overwhelming.
