You remember Mitt Romney... He was the guy the Republicans eventually agreed on without actually liking him, because he was the only one they could ALL agree on.



"Mitt Romney... eh, I'll vote for him because he belongs to my party I guess"


EDIT:
There's seems to be a major misunderstanding. I meant, what if the Democrats end up with a candidate who has won the primary solely on the merit that he/she is the least-hated candidate.

1. As opposed to someone only 40% approve of and the rest don't like at all?

2. That will never happen.

“Mr. 47%“ isn’t crude or cruel enough for the 30% of the population who worships Don the Con. Plus, Mitt talks in complete sentences and appears to sound educated.

3. That would piss off bernie.

4. :) OUR "problem" is several great candidates.

The Republicans should be a 1/1000th so fortunate. They’ve not all gone crazy and morally bankrupt. They have no decent conservative choice at all, and that certainly includes the Koch brothers’ buddy or a zealous fundamentalist servant of his Mormon god like Romney. God!

Speaking of, my best guess is Romney is waiting for God to draft him.

5. WTF

6. It's not a bot.

7. He'd get my vote over Тяцмр.

Of course, there are few people I wouldn’t vote for over Тяцмр.

12. Like who?! Hell, I'd take SATAN over tRump... better the devil you know I always say!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

9. Romney won because Gingrich and Santorum Split the Votes

if it was only Gingrich or only Santorum they would have beat Romney. Especially Gingrich.

11. What if the Democrats end up with Mitt Romney as their candidate?

I think the poster meant: What if the Democrats end up with a Mitt Romney as their candidate? The fear is what may result in picking the candidate we think is the only one that can beat rump. I don't buy into that narrative. I really think this is the time to make bold choices, not safe ones.

13. And who would that be?

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

14. Did Mitt change parties and announce his candidacy?

I really don't understand your concern here.

[mobeau69]

15. What if the Democrats end up with Mitt Romney as their candidate?

How could we end up with Mitt Romney as our candidate?




I see that you edited your post but I still don't understand what you're saying!

[kcr]

16. I get your concern. However

I think we actually have two Romneys, Biden and Bernie, and they will whack away at each other while either Warren or Harris waltzes right past them to the top.

17. I keep reading at DU

That the 'times and base have changed'.

The Obama v Romney match up was 7 years ago - it will be 8 next year.


If the times have changed that radically- then we can't use any prior election as a litmus test or an example.
