something republicans want to pretend was a total failure was romney care that was something that was a major major accomplishment. i think that he was a decent governor. but the person who ran massachusetts is not the person who is running. i think if he was, he never would have gotten the republic nomination. and so the idea that you have to secure him as a terrible governor i don t think he was a terrible governor. bill: he wasn t a terrible governor and i think he is the same guy because he cut that deficit from $3 billion down to a few million and that s what he is going to have to do in the u.s.a. i don t know whether he can or not but that would be his man at a time if elected. carl cameron interviews mitt romney. we have some of that in just a few moments.
but, you know, he wants to forget about that past. if he would embrace that vision of mitt romney, he might not win the primary process but he d be a stronger general election candidate. i m not sure who the real mitt romney is because he doesn t really show himself. i think the problem romney has is the base of the republican party, they don t trust this new iteration of romney 2.0 is authentic. to your point, they believe the guy who ran massachusetts is the real mitt romney but he can t get elected in a republican primary. i fear religion is playing a larger role than has been acknowledged which is a sad commentary. i think the lds status of mitt romney, his membership in the church, how else to explain he can t get to 30% in the south? here is what i think. i don t think him being mormon in itself is totally disqualifying in the south, but i think the fact that he has trouble relating to them culturally on other issues and seems a bit removed and has struggled to connect with
those major indices. is that what governing means is the president can t actually do everything, because the congress is bought by special interests? and also because the information that the candidate has on the campaign trail, suddenly he finds out wow, all the stuff i thought was true is not true. governing is a good point. look at romney. he ran the state of massachusetts. he s a republican who ran massachusetts. his crowning moment was corralling all of the the legislature, teddy kennedy, the federal government, to basically strike a deal on well, dare we say it, health care. that is how you govern, that s how you pull people together, fight entrenched interests, and he doesn t want to talk about it, and it s a shame. wo doesn t? romney. you re saying his signature achievement as a governor, which

there s not even a need to comment. they re just like, leave it alone. in his defense, romney has an investment firm, a consulting firm. he managed the 2002 winter olympics out in salt lake and ran massachusetts for two years when he was governor. romney, he s announced an exploratory committee. he says he ll maybe make the final announcement later this year. as for trump, we keep know, he says he ll have a decision by june if he wants to run for the white house. i m holding my breath. let s talk about these tea party rallies going on all over the country today. let s talk about them. a big one today is in south carolina, michele bachmann, the congresswoman from minnesota, a darling of the tea party movement, she ll be a big head liner at this one. today s the tax deadline day for americans. and ever since friday, the traditional tax deadline day, you ve seen tea party rallies across the country. if you re running for the presidency on the republican side, where else would you
