I will say I liked the notion of Mitteets a bit at first. Liked the corporate experience. Though my fuzzy recollection is that he was something of a corporate raider. Buying companies, then chopping them to pieces and selling them off. I would rather see someone with business chops versus all politics all the time. But Mitteets is not trustworthy and not in America's best interest and is generally a bad actor - both in real life and to the media. No stage presence, unlikable, flat footed, inarticulate and unrelatable.Are you out of your fucking mind....have you not studied Trumps track record? He couldn't even make money owning a casino. Nobody makes much money owning airlines but that silly SOB did spectacularly bad. Pro Football? League folded.
Then came Trump with the business background, especially in building, and media savvy. Even the former Demonicrat part was tolerable. His created a simple and successful brand and marketed it like a champ. Frankly, I don't think even he expected to win. Originally Posted by Why_Yes_I_Do
Mitteats made most of his loot as a corporate raider. not everyone was happy with how many of those deals worked out, like the employees. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

Originally Posted by Why_Yes_I_DoYou guys are both parroting the false dim-retard caricature of Mitt. He was NOT a fucking corporate raider. He was a venture capital/private equity fund manager. Different business model altogether. Not all of his deals were successful, but that's to be expected when you invest in dozens of companies. Nobody bats a thousand. Not Ted Williams. Not Mitt Romney either.

I met him years ago when he was in his 30s. Best way to describe him then was tall, dark and handsome. When he entered the room, all the women swooned and the men looked on with envy. Very polished, articulate and intelligent. I agree AS A POLITICAL CANDIDATE he wasn't quite as "likable" and "relatable" as you might prefer. Smart, analytical people sometimes come across that way. The dim-retards tried to blow this out of proportion and portray him as aloof and uncaring, but that's what they always do. At least Mitt wasn't a hair sniffer.
All you posters calling Mitt Romney a "loser" are nuts. Sure he lost the 2012 Presidential race, in part because Hurricane Sandy halted his campaign momentum in the final week. But he was elected Governor of (uber-liberal) Massachusetts in 2002 and US Senator from Utah in 2018. He rescued the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics from a corruption scandal and turned them into a huge success. He earned a joint JD/MBA degree from Harvard and buckets of money in private equity at Bain Capital. His successful business career was badly distorted by the dim-retard media in 2012. That's the same biased, corrupt and dishonest media that went all-in to beat Trump in 2020. Originally Posted by lustyladOff topic, but five out of the last six Massachusetts governors were Republicans. This makes sense. The real work of government (police, roads, sewers, public schools, etc.) is done at the local and state level. And Republican governors are the better administrators, in my opinion. If you want decent government services in your city or state, you're better off electing Republicans.

It's been apparent to me for some time that dimotards HATE business. Nothing infuriates them more than a Republican who has achieved success in business. They belittle and nitpick and try to tear down the business record of every GOP candidate that has the gonads to run for public office.
Exhibit I - Mitt Romney was a very successful private equity partner at Bain Capital. I recall something like 19 out of every 20 deals he was involved with at Bain were winners. Whether they turned around failing companies or jump-started new ones, each success boosted jobs, incomes and tax revenues in their local communities. They took risks with each deal. They went to bat and didn't hide in the dugout. Bain's batting average, while not perfect, was quite respectable. So how in the fuck does Mr. Community Organizer - someone who never met a payroll in his fucking life - get to run around screaming "You didn't build that!" and spend tainted Soros money on distorted political ads spotlighting the 1 out of 20 deals that failed?
Exhibit II - Then 4 years later along comes Donald Trump. While he may not have been the most exemplary businessman - he cut his teeth in NYC when the mafia ran the building trades - he also had a largely successful track record. The fact that 4-5 of his businesses declared bankruptcy might be damning if he had no successes to offset them. But if he built 50+ skyscrapers and 90% of them performed well, then his track record looks entirely different. The only thing you can count on is that dim-retards will always scream about the failures and ignore the successes.
Now I could shrug and say that's just politics, but what galls me is this - the people who do the heckling from the cheap seats are in most cases a bunch of fucking losers who stayed in the dugout all their lives! They were too timid or lazy or stupid to step up and bat! Fake news toadies, sycophants, swamp dwellers, political hangers-on - they all played it safe. They never earned the right to criticize, let alone foster intense and irrational hatred of, business. If you don't know what it means to struggle to meet a fucking payroll, then shut the fuck up. And that goes for every one of the dimotard-socialist numbnuts who are currently running or planning to run for President. Originally Posted by lustylad

that's a fair assessment of Romney. my main issue with Romney is that he's a political suck-up. he sucked up to Trump in 2012 for his endorsement then condemned Trump when he ran in 2016 and later as president mainly because the main stream press constantly derided Trump. and of course lied their asses off to do it. Romney saw this as an opportunity to "look like" a brave Republican standing up to Evil Lord Trump. Originally Posted by The_Waco_KidI understand where you're coming from. Romney sometimes comes across as flaky and flip-floppy. But I don't think his 2016 criticism of Trump was designed to make him look brave. I think he was genuinely offended - not by Trump's policy views, but by his style.
Trump would be richer had he just invested his inheritance in the market.I'm not shilling for Trump. Read my last post.
So enough of the shilling for Trump and his business acumen. Originally Posted by WTF
