Jeb Bush: Almost Daily I Think About Mitt Romney

Sunday, in an interview with ABC affiliate WPLG, the former Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, said he thinks about the mistakes made during the 2012 Presidential campaign of Mitt Romney “almost daily,” and what a “spectacular president,” he would be “in this time.”

Bush said, “He [Romney] struggled in the primary because the emphasis on subjects that he was uncomfortable with, he got off, I think he got off message. He should have said ‘I’m a problem solver. My life has been about building things up and solving problems and moving forward. That’s why we need, you know, whatever.’ Then explain why that would matter as president. And he got into, sucked into other people’s agendas and I think it hurt him a little bit. And I think about this almost daily. I think Mitt Romney would have been a spectacular president in this time. And he was proven right in a lot of his beliefs and ideas shortly after the election as well. So winning with purpose, winning with meaning, winning with your integrity is what I’m trying to talk about.”
