WILLARD shares his "biggest campaign mistake" (surprisingly is is not "I decided to run")



Mitt Romney shares biggest mistake of campaign

The former presidential candidate tells Katie Couric what he wants to pass along to the next GOP nominee.

Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric in an exclusive interview Wednesday that he decided not to run for president a third time for a simple reason.

“It just didn’t feel right,” Romney said in his first interview since deciding at the end of January not to mount another campaign. “Somehow, it just didn’t feel like this was the right time for us to step forward.”

If he had run, Romney said, he would have spent “a great deal of time taking my message to Hispanic Americans and to other minority groups in this country — African Americans, Asian Americans — and describing why it is that conservative principles are best for them and for their families.

“That’s something I wish I would’ve spent a lot more time doing” in 2012, he said.

Mr. Bling would have spent more time telling those folks to just borrow money to start their own business, and pull themselves up like he did. Become a people, be a corporation my friends.
