Romney: “Of course I’ll win, I’m the white guy”
May 22, 2012
By Sarah Wood
What could have been a game changing moment in Mitt Romney’s campaign turned
into a horrendous gaffe Tuesday afternoon when the former governor was
having lunch with a few of his supporters. Romney was hoping to show America
how well he relates to the average working American by having a press
recorded lunch at a local pancake house in rural Kentucky where the primary
elections were taking place. However, what turned from a nice preplanned
lunch with “common-folk conversation” ended up getting off track when one of
Romney’s supporters asked him how he was so certain he would win. Romney
turned to the man seated on his left and seemingly forgetting the ten plus
reporters in the room said, “Well between you and me, we have to think about
the reality of the situation. Obama is a popular guy and his supporters are
hell-bent in getting him reelected. There is one thing that his campaign
seems to keep forgetting over and over, and that is how many Americans can’t
stand the guy for an obvious reason. Of course I’ll win, I’m the white guy.”
The Romney supporter looked at Romney with a look of agreement yet
bewilderment. The chatter within the room got quite loud as reporters
grabbed at their phones and took rapid notes. It’s not every day that a
candidate is so brutally honest with his supporters.
One of Romney’s aides quickly tapped the former governor on the shoulder and
whispered something into his ear. Romney’s face had a stone cold expression
that can only be described as terrified. After talking with his aide for a
minute or so, Romney turned back to the table and smiled saying, “It’s a
good thing we all know how to take a joke here, huh? Of course the reason
that I know I’m going to win in because I’m the guy that will stand up for
true conservative values and economic prosperity. Which of course is what
the American people will want come November.”
After Romney finished speaking he stood up from the table and was ushered
outside to a waiting car. In hopes that he was able to successfully spin his
verbal gaffe, Romney made sure to get a spot on Fox News’ Hannity as soon as
possible to further clear up any “liberal spin” that may occur.
Only time will tell if he can recover from this clear opinion of his true
beliefs in why he thinks he will win this upcoming November.
