in private. yeah. when he thought the cameras weren t rolling in private before wealthy donors. he said that the 47% were victims who were dependent on government, and that is why they voted for obama. and he didn t just stand by that remark then. when he was initially asked about it, he didn t say, oh, no, that was all wrong. he said, well, i may have stated it inelegantly, but i stand by the message. you know, michael said he was a successful governor of massachusetts for four years. most people agree that that s true, but he has spent the past two years repudiating every single thing he stood for when he was governor of massachusetts. so what values does mitt romney really have? what does mitt romney really believe except that he very much wants to be president of the united states? you re thoughts on the 47 going to 100 overnight on sean
income tax. that 47% are not taking responsibility for their lives as they should, and they re not going to vote for me. that s a big mouthful to say was a misstatement. what did he mean to say? well, i think what he meant to say, chris, was what he said in private. yeah. when he thought the cameras weren t rolling in private before wealthy donors. he said that the 47% were victims who were dependent on government, and that is why they voted for obama. and he didn t just stand by that remark then. when he was initially asked about it, he didn t say, oh, no, that was all wrong. he said, well, i may have stated it inelegantly, but i stand by the message. you know, michael said he was a successful governor of massachusetts for four years. most people agree that that s true, but he has spent the past two years repudiating every single thing he stood for when he was governor of massachusetts. so what values does mitt romney
this clearly, garrett? good afternoon. basically the campaign has made a decision to go ahead and own these comments. they re trying to link them to the comments governor romney regularly makes publicly in which he says the president is trying to expand this idea of an entitlement society or welfare state. although he admitted last night he said it inelegantly. my question last night, i asked governor romney whether these comments coming out on tape yesterday as well as comments that have been previously reported from a fund-raiser, another fund-raiser in florida several months ago in which he laid out the policy details, why was there some discrepancy in his tone and policies behind closed doors versus in public. we have to push back a little bit on that. his answer on this he s taking process questions about the state of the campaign.
part that says do you think trump, you know, is damaging the republican party or something like that and we did trump says what s on his mind but essentially does it inelegantly or hey, he says what is on his mind and there s nothing wrong with it. well, about 35% of republicans believe they like what he has to say but not how he says it. that s who cruz wants. he wants those voters to be going the commander in chief test, you know i m not going to be irresponsible in my rhetoric or erratic. that s what he s trying to imply. but in his defense, i wouldn t call it a full-blown criticism. he was making your what i would call a traditional contrast that s plainly obvious but what candidate wouldn t? he s been trying to avoid poking the bear and now the bear the bear is starting to poke. it doesn t matter. you don t have to poke the bear very hard. his tweet this morning is, looks like at ted cruz is getting ready to attack. i m leading by so much, he has to.
