Of all the candidates that had a realistic shot at taking the nomination in 2016, my choice was Kasich and I find him preferable (abet barely) to Romney.

Least bad 2016 Republican candidate was Rand Paul, and he's less bad than Romney

My first choice was Kasich in 2016, but I have to go with Romney here because my desire throughout 2015 was for Kasich to be the Romney like establishment candidate who differed from the others on immigration, but doing so with less hard edge and a more appealing background for more populist voters. Since he didn't do this, I ended up jumping to Trump to stop Cruz and since my objective was for someone to follow in Romney's foot steps but actually pull it off, I am going to go with Romney here.

For Romney: 2012 without hindsight. For the 2016 candidates: 2016 without hindsight.

Also does hindsight for 2016 include or exclude the events of the general election that year?

For each candidate, hindsight includes anything after that candidate suspended their campaign.

I didnt really care about who the 2016 gop nominee was I was really worried it would be trump because I thought he had a better chance against Clinton than people gave him for but I watched some of the debate highlights and Rand Paul came off super strong for weed legalization so I liked him so I guess he was my first choice and Idont like libertarians but I like Romney less  lol so prob Paul if its without hindsight I supported Kasich after it became Just Trump Cruz and Kasich Cause I hated Cruz so bad at some points I had a hard time wondering who was worse between Trump and Cruz and while I had issues with Kasich he seemed like he would make a far better president than Trump or Cruz

Bain capital went bankrupt during 2008 Recession that's why he lost in 2012, Doug Christie used Corzines bankruptcies against him in the 2009 election and he still almost lost. Ever since then, it was feesible to use bankruptcies as a ln attacking point against your opponent and Trump casinos went bankrupt as well during 2008, they changed the
name of Trump casinos in IN


There's the movie Rising Knight and Batman came out with Bain Capital

I’d take Paul, Cruz, Trump, Kasich, Carson, Gilmore, Walker, Santorum, even Rubio over Romney. Literally every Republican candidate in 2016 was better than Romney.

As someone who wanted Romney to run in 2016, it’s a tough choice. But the two final choices I want with, Rubio and Kasich, both of whom I actually liked better than Romney, surprisingly. So I guess Rubio> Kasich> Romney > rest of 2016 candidates

I’d take any of the 2016 candidates who had actually been elected to something over Romney. I think he’s pretty overrated. Well ok I wouldn’t take Huckabee...keep forgetting he ran that year.
