It is March 2012 and you are Mitt Romney's campaign manager. What is done differently?
GregTheGreat657:
Everything after that was a dream. Please don't try to sabotage.
OSR stands with Israel:
1. Dont make the 47% comment
2. Make his trade views regarding China a much bigger part of the campaign
3. Dont let Obama's attack's over the Summer of 2012 go unanswered
4. Pick Rob Portman as the VP choice
Chips:
Biggest things:
#1. Visit PA a lot more, In fact. Replace most WI visits with PA visits instead.
#2. Pick Portman or Tom Ridge or someone else from the Rust Belt.
#3. Like OSR said, make trade with China a big issue and hit home in IA, WI, OH and PA about it.
#4. Don't make 47% of course.
#5. Apologize for the Let Detroit Go Bankrupt comments and really point out his family's midwestern politics and the accomplishments they've done.
If all this went well:

So yeah, I would've definitely run a more Rust Belt oriented campaign. Try to make Trump's future strategy work 4 years earlier. I would of course still make stops to NV, VA and CO but my main roadmap would've been that.

Generally agree with all this, but I would also stop Romney in advance from making the "binders full of women" statement. Who knows how much it hurt him, and it could be very easily avoided.

Not making the 47% comment alone probably gives him Florida...
