Btw this is why I don’t think Hogan/Baker or on the dem side JBE would do good in presidential races and that is to realistically be the nominee , they would have to flip flop so hard that it would greatly undermine their chances to win .
Yeah that's the problem with those hypotheticals, these people would never, ever win their primaries so it's just pointless to think about how the general election would play out.
Romney was probably even more moderate than Hogan (although not as moderate as Baker) when he was the governor of MA, yet he was able to flip-flop to the far-right and win the 2012 GOP Primaries comfortably.
Boi, you've indisputably lost EVERY single marble in that brain of yours. Romney is about as far-right as Joe Manchin is far-left.
Nobody is suggesting that Romney is actually a far-right politician, but he veered HARD to the right for both his 2008 and his 2012 campaigns.
What the actual Mitt Romney believes nobody knows, but I suspect that Senator Romney is the truest Romney we've seen as he steered left to win his governorship in MA and steered right to contest the GOP presidential primaries. If anything I suspect that Senator Romney is actually somewhat to the right of the true Mitt Romney.
