I’m sort of slowly catching up on things I missed over the past couple of days, and most of it at least makes sense. Wall Street panicked over a single bad economic report. Check. Boko Haram massacred another village in Nigeria. Check. Tea partiers still control the Republican agenda in Congress. Check. Mitt Romney is going to run for president again. Ch—
Wait. Mitt Romney is going to run for president again? Seriously? That’s insane, isn’t it? Can anyone aside from Romney’s overpaid team of advisors and consultants actually make a good case that he can win?
I’m still a little woozy, so I’m not up to the job of trying to figure this out. But there’s just no way. Parties don’t rally around losers, and Romney is now a two-time loser. Ann Romney may still be nursing a planet-sized grudge about the way Mitt was treated in 2012, but that buys no votes. Besides, he’ll be treated the same way this time around. Once a plutocrat, always a plutocrat. Maybe that’s fair, maybe it’s not, but nobody ever said life was fair.
So I guess I’m caught up. Except for this one thing. What the hell is Romney thinking?
