TYT: Romney Reboots, Plans To Rescue America… Again



"Mitt Romney is preparing to run for president for a third time. But if he is launching a campaign, it was off to a bad start already with this verdict on his last one in The Wall Street Journal the day before, from an article about Republicans' new emphasis on wage stagnation and economic mobility:

For Republicans circling the 2016 race, the focus on struggling segments of the population is a response of sorts to the 2012 contest, when the party’s nominee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney , struggled to present himself as an empathetic figure. Many Republicans considering bids this time seem set on forging a new path, one that stays true to conservative beliefs but with a firmer eye on seeking potential solutions to address Americans’ continued frustration with the economy.

Romney didn't have much of an economic agenda when he ran in his last campaign. That said, if he is looking for one that could appeal to the middle class and the poor, there are plenty of ideas out there."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

It's okay to lie to the non-believers. Mitt the Quit? Quitter done? Quitten Mittons? Mitton Quittens?
