Mitt Romney crying says it all
Republicans live in a right-wing bubble where they don't have to face reality until they collapse in a grease fire on Election Night.
Mitt Romney never beat Obama in the public polling and yet he was "shell-shocked" the night he lost and you could see it in his concession speech.
Sucks to live Alternative Facts and Fake News. Deplorables are headed for a similar fate on Nov. 3 because Fox News won't report any mistakes made by Republicans.

Romney felt that because people showed up to his dumb rallies that it was a sign he was winning. Paul Ryan made terrible comments after the election that voters had been "extracted" from inner cities to vote. Scumbag.
At the end of the day, it was just two privileged white guys who could not believe they lived in a world where they could be beaten by a black man.

That motherfucker had a fireworks show planned for election night in Boston, he was so sure he'd win.

2012 was the year of that unskewed polls website. Remember that shit? LOL.
I think Romney was reading it a bit too much.

Romney really thought he was the "White Horse" of Mormon prophecy.

They got their revenge in 2016 -- may no Republican ever win anything again.

Yeah. He thought he was annointed by God to be the first moron president. He probably still feels that way

If Obummer just lost in 2012, we wouldn't have been in this hellhole of the Orange Shit Turd today. Such a vicious twist of fate.

Well, R2, the polls said Clinton would win by 2 or 3 percent, which is exactly what happened. So, no.

As I recall there was a sense it was going to be a close race in the final days of the 2012 election period. This may have been more of a media-created horserace but apparently the Romney campaign believed it and that oversampling of Dems in the poll were skewering results.

He wouldn't let anyone watch anything but Fox news around him. He was in a self created bubble

I remember Anne saying the Obamas should "start packing" and it was "their turn".

People are saying that Romney wants to run again in 2024, so he's still delusional.
Does he not realize that most people from both sides of the aisle hate him? Republicans will never forgive him for voting against Trump in the impeachment trial and Dems think he's an elite waste of space.

Apparently Romney believed in a Mormon prophecy that foretold he'd win the election and be a great leader. Something about a white horse, or something. That's why he didn't listen to the polls and statistics.

Dems think he’s spineless too.

Romney has no chance in 2012. I laughed when he lost.

He doesn't really stand up to Trump does he? What an ass. So it was his black grandson? Cynical too, using race.

Didn’t the exit polls on Election Day show him in the lead? Or am I confusing him with John Kerry, another Massachusetts presidential candidate?

As I remember Romney was gaining in the polls at the last minute. That tremendous storm that hit the east coast was said to have ended his momentum in that it dominated the news cycle.
Obama would have had such an easy cake walk to the win but that first debate he behaved so sourly that the polls for Romney got a jolt.
Anyone read his book? I always wondered what was wrong with Obama on that debate night and if he acknowledges it now.
