A conversation with Mitt Romney at HLS

[@HuntingtonsBest]

He was calling out Russia as the biggest geopolitical threat back in 2012, and Obama ridiculed him for it; look at where we are now.

[@niagrasprings]

And where is it that we are at now? the Trump-Russian collusion thing has proven to be a Clinton/Obama orchestrated attempt to thwart democracy while Romney is deep in Ukraine corruption just like Joe Biden.

[@melvinnigel355]

Agree. We can always learn a thing or two from Dems and Republicans

[@stevent6614]

I would love to see Romney run again in 2024. I think if most people were to stop and think about the state of the country, it doesnt take a genius to see that it is becoming extremely brittle, and worrisome. We are in desperate need for a good leader who is honest and has integrity, and that cares about the country more than he cares about how much money he can get through swindling, and finding back ally deals. There really is no better person for the job than Mitt Romney, in my opinion.

[@MrDarknesstolight]

I really like Mitt. He's really sensible; having the business skills of a Trump, while not being arrogant about it, and having a real humility about him.

[@tonycarmichael287]

+Thaddeus Mccarthy I'm not a Republican, but I find myself missing Romney as a Republican nominee. He talks policy, is clearly decent, spoke respectfully to opponents, and has gracefully stepped out of the spotlight. I don't agree with his policies but he set a tone of civility in the 2012 race - something missing in 2016.

[@in_wino_veritas]

right, there were just a few decent ones in the republican 2016 field, and most of them are gone, Kasich is maybe the most decent of them, the 4 other remaing candidates are just hatful, intolerant and disrespecting their opponent, even if he has the same policy (thou i still hope, that Trump is just faking it)

[@davidfurr4263]

This is probably the final decent and intelligent person to be nominated by either party. The people don't want it, and no qualified person will bother to run.

[@niagrasprings]

Romney is a crook, over his head in Ukrainian corruption and money laundering, just like Joe Biden, Romney for his LDS Inc owners .......and you are stupid enough to believe that Romney really earned all of that money .......just like a real MORmON! just like dirty Romney was counting on!

[@chiefryback7906]

I honestly don't think I have ever been so saddened and disappointed in my country or our electorate than when Mitt Romney lost in 2012. We will never see a candidate so as competent, accomplished, morally strong, and family oriented than this man again. The Romney family may very well be the luckiest and most beautiful family on Planet Earth. Can you imagine a United States of America with jobs, Global respect, and Unity? Neither can I because the hope Barrack Obama was peddling was devoured by divisiveness, Big Government, and a crippling resentment towards American's greatness at the hands of the Democratic party. And the President has been an enabler. Never again will we see a Barrack Obama with such great missed opportunities to unite and never again will we take back the mistakes we make as a country. The effects are indelible and everlasting. Especially to our children. Everybody lost in 2012.

It is hard to unite America when the idiot US Senate Minority Leader McConnell announced almost the first day you are inaugurated that the #1 job was to keep you a one term President. Obama reached out over and over again, to only be denounced and blocked at every step he tried to make. I'm sure you are having an orgasm at the thought Obama will be gone in less than a year. Cheers !

[@bobcolley83]

America pick Obama over Mitt Romney? Seriously Americans" Why? Mitt Romney is like 100% time much better than Obama. in the 2012 presidential debate Romney was right about Obama saying if he gets a second term that we be 20 trillion on debt we almost are. the American people should had voted for Mitt Romney.

[@CanYouRememberWhen]

I haven't ever known much about him. He's been in the news lately, so decided to look him up. When he was running for president the few things I saw gave me the feeling he was mean. He comes across as a nice guy on this program. I just watched the program "Mitt", which followed him on the campaign trail. I enjoyed it, but noticed he never could make a decision on his own. He was constantly asking his grown sons what they thought he should do. I like him, but have a feeling he's not a real strong minded person and could easily be influenced.

On a personal level I think he is, but private equity is the precise antithesis of compassion, and Bain has been responsible for killing tens if not hundreds of thousands of jobs entirely unnecessarily.

I guess our generosity forgiveness and kindness nature this time toward each other’s service and mistakes may worthy for the 1st step of the efforts toward merit. Move forward quickly together and support each other’s position and services to get things done together quickly and putting ideologies down and govern by our country America’s own established principles of laws afterward together, then we won’t need to be mad toward each other and make America great together by America’s patriotism and principles together to create massive jobs for Americans of all to enjoy without worrying and together bring a peaceful in order society for Americans of all to live and build America together as a civilized country America’s greatness.
