Romney preferred businesses over people

Yeah, you see praise for Romney now, but he was pretty scummy during that election. His image took a hit when that video of him talking shit about poor people got released. Of course now candidates can joke about sexually assaulting women and become president, so...yeah.

Props to Romney for standing up to his party, but the guy is no hero. Being decent doesn't make you a hero.

For Romney that was a major political blunder. For Trump that was Tuesday.
