After letting the press know that Ann Romney suffered a miscarriage between sons 4 & 5, Ann decided to expose a second miscarriage during CBS This Morning. Why must it be shared? This was another attempt to make Mitt Romney look human. Instead it made him look emotionally removed from his family.
The story takes a wrong turn when Ann admits that around 3 a.m. she sensed she was in the midst of a miscarriage. She laid on the bed for nearly 3 hours before deciding it was time to wake up Mitt and inform him of what she feared.
I don't know anyone who if they feared they had lost the child inside them, wouldn't immediately want to wake up their husband.
Ann kept going on about how the youngest son seemed to be the most excited at the prospect of having a new baby in the house so that he wouldn't be the youngest anymore. Turns out he was also the one who took it the hardest when she came home from the hospital after the miscarriage. The kid basically collapsed in an emotional mess. This was the the first time Mitt had heard about this.
1) Wife feared waking him up for 3 hours.
2) Wife didn't want to bother him with details of how the youngest son took the miscarriage.
This humanizes a man? That he's a husband who has no problem with his wife laying next to him for 3 hours? That he's a father who doesn't need to be told what's going on his house? This makes him likeable?
Doesn't help that Mitt stares at Ann the entire time with a stone face expression of "Where is this story going?"
This seems less like a man who wants to be president and more of a wife auditioning to be on Maury Povich. Here's the video:
