Remember Romney saying he would "contact his attorneys" about taking the country to war?

That's what this Bain thing is all about -- Romney camp acts like GOVERNING or understanding GOVERNMENT is not a requirement to be POTUS.

He acts like he wants to be hired as CEO of Americo, Inc., and make some profit with it. Which he probably would (for the 1%.) Totally clueless.

I really think Booker did us a favor by bringing this up. Whenever Bain is the topic, Romney struggles and is defensive. I think their strategy of conflating Bain Capital with "free enterprise" is lame.

same lack of empathy for those not in their group, same meandering, "I really don't care, why are you asking me all these questions" approach to the public, same self-perception as an entitled member of a political dynasty - I'm not seeing much. IIRC, Romney has more houses and doesn't seem afraid of horses.

I really think anybody who can even say "liberal media" with a straight face is a fucking moron.
