Mitt Romney- The benefit of the non-incumbent

There are some giant problems with the GOP candidate running for the highest office in the United States this year. Mitt Romney lacks some very important foreign relation skills, his numbers don’t add up, and he tortured his dog. This seems to be the general consensus of the American people right now. Let’s explore the root dilemma of this candidate.

Mitt Romney has his faults, and he has benefits, the main one being that he has the potential to fix the US, but is untested. Let’s start out with that benefit. We have seen what Obama can do, like the things I talked about in the previous section. However we haven’t seen what Romney can do. We don’t know if he would fly into the white house with a cape flying behind him and fix all Obama couldn’t in one day. The fact is, we don’t know. Here’s what we do know. He has flip-flopped on almost every issue since the start of his political career, and has some major mishaps we have to take into account. I will start out with one of the most major dilemmas. His forty-seven percent statistic. This wasn’t an accurate statistic in the first place, but he topped it off with a cherry by saying, “I don’t care about that 47%.” This may be one of the only true facts he has presented us with for the entire election season.  When you take a fact checker to the presidential debates, you would be surprised the ratio of true to untrue, especially in the first and third presidential debate. But the fact is, most people don’t look at the facts, and the statistics he is throwing out there sound good. It doesn’t matter what he’s saying, as long as he is saying it’s his campaign strategy, and Obama definitely didn’t use that in the first debate, as he said almost nothing to combat Romney’s “facts”. And that is why the election could go either way this Tuesday.
