I just watched it...gave pretty good behind the scenes insight into what his family and his private thoughts were during the campaign. It still wouldn't make me want to vote for him.
I couldn't vote for the guy, but he seemed like a good family man and a nice guy to deal with on a personal level.
Might give it a watch just cause it would be interesting to go behind the scenes of a campaign like that.
I much rather spend a day hanging out with Mitt than hanging out with John McCain, that's for sure.
Ron Paul likes Romney? Thats news to me. Oh yeah, this is the film where he admits he STOLE the election from Ron Paul? The guy is a two timing snake. Anyone with principles if they realized what the hell just happened would have walked away from the corruption of the RNC. Romney is Elitist Corpratist Warmongering Plutocrat, and always will be a Scumbag to the most extreme form of the defintion of the word Scumbag.
So heres my premise of the movie: Feel sorry for Romney, and forget all about Ron Paul because we told you to. Forget the election was rigged, top to bottom. Forget about the fact they just flat out IGNORED their own rules when it suited them. Forget about the whole show being Scripted. Now go cry because Romney lost.
I dont cry for Snakes when they get their heads cut off, figuratively speaking.
FUCK MITT ROMNEY
When Mr. Paul’s campaign jet broke down last year in Wolfeboro, N.H., Mr. Romney’s wife, Ann, offered to let Mr. Paul, an aide and one of his granddaughters stay the night at their summer home on Lake Winnipesaukee. When Mr. Romney arrived later, he offered his jet to take them home to Texas. Mr. Paul, not wanting to impose, was grateful but declined both offers.
“I talk to Romney more than the rest on a friendly basis,” Mr. Paul said. ”I throw Romney’s name out because he’s made a bigger attempt to do it. The others are sort of just real flat.”
In an interview on CBS this past weekend, Mr. Paul volunteered that since his rivals were largely identical in policy substance, “when it comes down to those three, it’s probably going to be management style more than anything else.” According to one person close to the Paul campaign, it would be accurate to infer from that phrasing — “management style” — that Mr. Paul has a willingness to listen to overtures from Mr. Romney, who has been trying to sell himself to voters as a proven manager.
The candidates’ spouses, Ann Romney and Carol Paul, “know each other better than any of the other wives,” Mr. Paul said. He and Mr. Romney talk “all the time” and “we’ve met all their kids.” Once he telephoned Mr. Romney just as Mr. Romney was calling him. “Sometimes I’m never sure who issued a call,” he said.
Mr. Paul has already provided some tactical help: When Mr. Romney began to flounder in South Carolina and was under attack over his career in leveraged buyouts, Mr. Paul came to his defense, suggesting that his critics were anticapitalist. His campaign even issued a press release assailing other rivals for, in Mr. Paul’s view, taking Mr. Romney’s quote about firing people out of context.
Ron Paul did not win the election in 2012. I don't know why some of you guys don't get this. He lost because he wasn't a strong enough candidate. Most Republican voters did not like Ron Paul. We will rectify these issues with Rand Paul 2016.
Ron Paul did like Romney the most out of his rivals:
Ron's worst relationships were with Santorum and Huntsman, for obvious reasons. He had mixed feelings about Gingrich because Gingrich campaigned against him when he ran for Congress, but once he was elected, Gingrich agreed not to whip his votes. He seemed pretty amiable with Perry, but didn't know him well. He had a close relationship in the past with Johnson and Bachmann, but was disappointed that they had chosen to run against him in the presidential race as he had given them his endorsement when they had sought it.
The documentary was rather dull. It mostly focused on the family dynamics of the Romneys. The political aspects of the 2008 and 2012 campaigns were overshadowed by that.
Looks pretty interesting.
