BTW I happened to catch that Bain Capital was mentioned in an article about Toys R Us having laden TRU with lots of debt, which is partially why they are going out of business now.

I'm just talking about how Bain Capital did/does business and that Romney was associated with them and their brand of "vulture capitalism". I'm sure that Toys R Us had a lot of other issues but larding them up with debt probably didn't help matters much.

from Bain Capital.

And there's no report that Romney ever sold Bain Capital.

Just arguments about when he gave up control.
