Romney: Bill Clinton told me he thought I might have won if not for the hurricane
–Romney says president Bill Clinton called him after the election and said he might have won if not for Hurricane Sandy. Romney: “I spoke with president Clinton the day before yesterday, he called and spent thirty minutes chatting with me. He said a week out I thought you were going to win. And he said, but the hurricane happened, and it gave the president a chance to be presidential, and to look bipartisan, and you know he got a little more momentum, and of course he also said that when he was watching Ann speak at the Republican convention, he decided he was tempted to join the Republican Party. So he may have just been effusive with generous comments as he chatted.”

Warning Warning, tainted content on the ABC website.
This sour narrative is not for you, reality lives somewhere else. Put your hands over your ears and say Halliburton three times.
No good will come from repeating anything written on the MSM news websites.

*facepalm*
Seriously, Mitt? You felt this conversation was worth recounting?
My opinion of Romney has just fallen like a rock since the election.

Somehow that would not surprise me.

Errrr. It should have – or if you want to amend that to “hatred of his abysmal job performance” so it goes down easier.
Honest question: Would you pay ANYTHING to have someone like Obama working for you?
Of course not. He’s lazy, more interested in what’s in it for him rather than an actual effort and incompetent.
So why are we?

This election cycle, the Dems weren’t as toxic as the GOP was after Bush’s second term. Regardless of reality, many people are still frightened by the narrative of the Bush years. They didn’t embrace Obama, but they were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because, at least in their minds, as bad as things are right now, things aren’t as bad as they were under Bush.
Four years wasn’t enough to properly display the truly destructive nature of leftist policies. The cult of Obama left many blind to his failures, and allowed them to rationalize their belief that all of our problems are because of Bush’s failed economic policies. Of course, no one can name those policies or how they caused damage to the economy. Boooosh EVIL, Obama Gooood.

The Clintons voted for Romney.

The land deserves Obama.
If you own a business fire a bunch of millennials. They deserve a reality check.

The comical lack of self-awareness leftists like Clinton, 0dumba, and this unintentional joker
have is astounding!

Interesting, well my own personal theory is that the Hurricane helped Obama with turnout. Switched some democratic voters from “Stay At Home,” to, “Get Out and Vote for Obama.” Multiple polls in the last week, after Sandy, showed an abrupt bump in enthusiasm for Democrats. I dismissed it as noise at the time, but after that turnout, well its hard to picture that ALL being GOTV.
As for Clinton, sounds like he spent more time being conciliatory than Obama did. If so, well, Clinton may be a sexist philanderer, but he still has more class than this Obama character.

So you’re calling Bill Clinton a Liar? Good for you!
PS, drinking your breakfast isn’t good for you. Your HA posting history proves that in spades.
A+

And another Democrat calls Bill Clinton a Liar.
Actually, the real reason Romney lost was because your Dear Leader, who got an alltime record (at the time) 70% of the high school dropout vote in 2008, got many of the remaining 30% of those Idiots this time out. CNN exit polling shows the new records he set in 2012. You must be so proud of these numbers:
2012 high school dropout vote by state:
PA: 82%
CA: 80%
NV: 73%
OH: 67%
FL: 66%
Forewerd!
