#1 Mitt is just an old era Democrat that knows he has absolutely no chance in the new Socialist Party. So, like many, he steals a safe seat from the conservatives. Then he acts like the old Democrats by doing the exact same pandering with the people who killed classical liberalism in the old party.

#3 I went to see Romney at the local airport prior to the 2012 election. I voted for him thinking he was the lesser of two evils. Today, I would not waste the gas and time going to boo and jeer him.

#6 the former governor of Massachusetts said. "I’ve been a Republican all of my life. My dad was the governor of Michigan and I was the Republican nominee for president in 2012."

I don't think generational politician and olympic bag man is going to cut it.

#7 I’ve been a Republican all of my life.
A prince, born to The Show.

My dad was the governor of Michigan
I suspect Mitt has been riding on Daddy's goodwill along with his Central Casting Mormon niceness for some time now. George Romney was a *very* popular Republican governor in blue-state Michigan.

and I was the Republican nominee for president in 2012."
I wouldn't bring up that last bit. It's poor salesmanship.

#8 He rode the coattails of many businesses that were already successful when he and Bain Capital bought them up. They were already successful not because of him.

#9 He made IIRC 67 investments and 63 of them either went belly up or barely returned his initial investment. He had one big hit, Staples.

Most of his earnings came from paying dividends to himself and his partners out of the acquired companies' cash flows. A scam artist, basically.

#10 He had one big hit, Staples.

Exactly.

That said, would rotten tomatoes have been out of order here?
