I'll never forget when Romney was speaking to an audience of supporters when he was running against Obama, and someone asked about Obama being a foreigner with a fake birth certificate. Romney very gently assured the woman that Obama was an American, and would make a great president even though they disagreed on policies. It's that kind of professionalism that we need to bring back to politics today.
That was definitely McCain doing it. However Romney did call out Russia being our greatest threat still and Obama mocked him in the debate for it. 2 years later they “annexed” Crimea and 10 years later they cause the largest war in Europe. Obama failed on international policy regarding a lot of “enemies” and either underestimating them or treating them with kid gloves in the hope of improving relations.
Romney was wrong then and he is wrong now.
The greatest threat is and was China. Russia does not have the means to directly compete with the United States.
China isn't desperate enough to invade half of Europe and threaten to nuke everyone, though.
That may be it. My memory is failing.
No worries.
Romney did tie his family dog to the roof of thier car while on a vacation road trip. So he's uh got that going for him.
I really do miss that veneer of social fabric on things

Edit: It seems that I was conflating McCain and Romney. Here's a video to make up for my blunder. https://youtu.be/dX_1B0w7Hzc?si=bUFcURfGMpTowOtT
I only recall McCain doing that. not Romney.
