So Netflix is putting out a documentary on the Romney campaign. The guy who did the documentary had access to Romney for six years.
There's a trailer on Youtube, and that's what I really wanted to talk about. You see, I had heard the reports that they had collapsed themselves into the bubble of unskewed polls so deeply that they had been firmly convinced there was no way Romney was going to lose. I thought, "yeah, makes sense, but every campaign no matter how well they are doing realizes that things happens and there is a chance you can lose and you still have somebody on the staff prepare for that possibility, no matter how small."
The first moments of the trailer show just how idiotic this campaign was, and the idiocy goes all the way to the very top of the ticket.
It confirms that there was absolutely no preparation for the possibility of losing and that there was no prepared concession speech. The candidate didn't even know if anybody had President Obama's number so he could call to concede.
I'll watch the documentary on Netflix if for no other reason than to see how badly these people sucked at running a campaign. Look for the video after the orange gnochi.
