blue bits. red rocks.

Of course, one of the reason for Romney’s woes is that everyone understands that Romney would never do anything so imaginative or politically courageous as calling for breaking up the banks. Even if he accepted the merits of the argument, which he probably doesn’t, that isn’t the sort of politician he is. If Romney were to pay lip service to this idea in a debate, many would dismiss it as just the latest attempt to tell the audience what they want to hear, and they would be right. One reason Romney inspires so little confidence and so much distrust is that it would never occur to anyone that he would follow through on such a policy, and it would never occur to him to take an interest in that policy in the first place. “Only Nixon could go to China,” as the saying goes, but Nixon has to want to go. Romney doesn’t, and never will. Better Policies Romney Could Adopt If He Weren’t Romney (II)
