Mitt Romney was OK. So was John McCain. Both of Obama's opponents were pretty decent guys. I disagreed with them, but they weren't actively trying to destroy the country.

And arguably, that's why they lost. When Republicans run somebody on a platform of being actively hostile, they win. It took a global pandemic to upset that pattern. The moderates will vote red no matter who, but the extremists will come out in droves if you pander to them.

So... if it's really Mitt Romney running Hungary, I'm just fine with that.

Sadly, I fear the analogy breaks down, and that Magyar might be less intelligent and thoughtful than Romney. I hope I'm wrong about that.
