In reply to the discussion: Romney Is Horrified by Trump — and That’s Restarting ‘Mitt 2016’ Talk [View all]DetlefK
(16,423 posts)28. Correction: Mitt Romney didn't want to run for POTUS in 2012.
Running for POTUS is something that rich and powerful people do to keep them occupied. (And maybe Queen Ann had her hands in it...) But Romney never had the fire, the vision, the desire to get shit done for his country. For him, the presidency was just another collectors-item for the plutocrat who has everything.
A man without convictions, a man without fire, a man that sparks no fire, a man who didn't get the nomination on his own merits but because the alternatives were simply horrible.

Trump saying he wanted to tax rich people must be setting off alarm bells.
