Wow. Even Romney's biggest fans don't know how he would govern.

On Morning Joe earlier today, David Brooks was making the case that Romney was more "flexible" when it came to his political views. He therefore concluded that it would be easier for Romney to work with Congress and get something done.

This is obviously ridiculous, since the House will be controlled by Democrats who would be repelled by Romney's extremism, as well as his narcissistic, bull-dozer approach to governance. We all know that Romney vetoed hundreds of bills during his tenure as Massachusetts governor--and we all know that his state Democratic-led legislature overrode the majority of those vetoes.

Romney's Massachusetts bipartisan utopia is pure fantasy.

With that said, David Brooks began talking about how Romney would work with Congress. He was there to shill for Romney, so it became quite humorous when Mika, Scarborough and the rest of the gang asked if Mitt would govern in a moderate or conservative or neoconservative way.

No one had an answer. Not even David Brooks. They all chuckled about how they really didn't know how Mitt would govern and they lamented his various political stances.

It's pretty sad when your own mouthpieces can't even articulate what you would do in office. When you spend months articulating ideas--then denying you ever had those ideas--it gets quite boggling. When you've taken more positions than an LA yoga instructor--just on healthcare alone--discussion on how you would govern, is literally impossible.

Romney is such a joke. No one even knows who he is. Even his friends, sent to publicly praise him--can't even define what he is or what he would do.

Mitt Romney is human Playdoh. He is shaped into something new every day.
