Romney Presidency: Destination Mexico
Romney has ALWAYS been a phenomenally weak presidential candidate. The Bush/Cheney Administration was so fantastically toxic that it could groom no heir apparents.
If they did, he would have looked just like Romney...an absolute third generation Reaganite (Bush/Cheney was 2nd Gen, Reagan was the first. Multiply the number of their generation to determine the damage they will do to the nation: Bush/Cheney made Reagan look sane, though they were true disciples of his policies; Romney will make Bush/Cheney look like Reagan by comparison. Next Republican president after that will make Romney look good by comparison, and so on.)
As weak as Romney is as a candidate, however, there is an excess of machinary that could get a syphilitic chupacabra into the Whitehouse against Obama even without Citizen's United. Representative democracy (small "d") is being dismantled by voter suppression, post-census gerrymandering, and even small bore Fascism as practiced by Rick Snyder of Michigan - assigning unelected individuals with the power to strip elected officals of their seats, sell public assets to private companies and individuals, and even dissolve towns and cities entirely.
If Romney wins the election (witness Scott Walker's recall election) the ladder of representative democracy will be kicked away. He won't need to win re-election, it won't matter what he does to the country.
We will become what England would have been if the East India Tea Company grew so powerful that it could do to England what it did to India.
We won't become socialized Western Europe.
We'll become Mexico.
Post Script:
