I think it occult.

Mitt Romney did not want to run for president.

-- -- -- is what is son is saying an interview with the Boston Globe Romney sent tag.

To admit had no desire to run for the office.

It was his wife along with his sons who pushed him around.

And with reaction -- -- bring in Doug shown former Clinton advisor and Fox News contributor when he -- Couldn't.

I think -- that's farther from the truth status out.

People don't run for president for six years give up the income they can -- the physical and emotional stress and trauma of the process they don't go through that if they don't want -- be president.

But doesn't it touch on in some YA and we are talking about Dennis was talking about this in the break that.

May be what was wrong and what people sentenced about Mitt Romney when he is on the campaign trail that there what with the lack passion there as a candidate well they're -- are looking for some reason to maybe explain.

Well there may have been a lack compassion but there was no unwillingness to take whatever position he thought would suit his purposes in the campaign.

And you never heard Mitt Romney say this is what I really needs.

Give them to believe needs to be done for America Mitt Romney.

Basically said what he thought would get him elected and -- and I don't think there's anyone in America wanted to be elected.

More then Mitt Romney other than President Obama and yet he.

What's -- -- I thought the biggest error in that he committed Ronnie was it used to much a nice guy he should then beating the daylights out of the bad record of the president.

And the Obama restriction he never really got me enough -- -- Well I don't think key focused enough on what the president did -- wrong and what he would do differently.

We never get a sense as to what our Romney presidency would be and I thought he was sort of would -- on the stump -- and there was a lack compassion I'll certainly concede that.

In -- -- biggest bruise now does apart do we do you think that big politicians in the White House get this the limit tax increases and spending cuts taking care of before the end of the year doesn't go past the end of the year and who gets beat up more.

Increasingly I think we're gonna go over there.

So called fiscal -- -- short term will hurt the Republicans undeniably.

Longer term if we go into recession or we have a downturn.

It will hurt the Democrats and President Obama I don't think -- in winners in this deal.

I thought all along that the republic would look horrible if they refuse to go along just as they wanted to save millionaires but now wanted but switching to the other way I just read the journal today.

That -- a family earning only 20000 dollars a year we'll see that their tax treatment gets cut in half to only thirteen hundred bucks if that if we go off the cliff.

At some point doesn't begin with -- that the Democrats are willing to raise taxes on everyone to punish millionaires so I think I think you're right.

Especially since we haven't had the follow through data switches.

What is the reason for all this what is the fiscal reform program tax reform entitlement reform spending cuts.

And military plant where are we heading the president nor the Republicans have answer that question.

Did -- all right -- both here that's all for being with us thank you and I -- -- they -- they wound.
