Mitt Romney After The Presidential Election Loss

After the 2012 presidential election results came in late Tuesday night Mitt Romney was shocked to say the least. Mitt Romney's advisers describe his reaction to the loss as being "Shellshocked." After Mitt Romney saw that it was clear that he had lost and had to secede, his personal assistant, Garrett Jackson, called his counterpart in the Obama campaign, Marvin Nicholson, to connect the two men. CBS' Jan Greenburg wrote in her article, "Romney was stoic as he talked to the president, an aid said, but his wife cried. Running mate Paul Ryan seemed shocked, the adviser said. Ryan's wife Janna also was shaken and cried softly." The article included a section from the The New York Times' a tick-tock of the events that night at the Boston Intercontinental Hotel said that Bob White, a close friend and adviser, was prepared to tell the waiting crowd that Mr. Romney would not yet concede. But then, Mr. Romney quietly decided it was over. "It's not going to happen," he said." As Ann Romney cried softly, he headed down to deliver his speech, ending his second, and presumably last, bid for the White House.

As election day finally came on Tuesday I was beyond excited to see who would be our new president. In saying that I was excited to welcome Mitt Romney as our new president. When the results came in of who would be our president for the next four years... I was sad, surprised, and basically thought it was a cruel joke. I was so excited for the positive changes Mitt Romney was going to bring to America. I was hopeful that we could go back to the United States that had morals, traditions, and believed the phrase "One Nation Under God" meant truly living for God and living by the bible. I have learned with each passing year that we as a country have sadly lost all of that and have become a country that is very liberal. All I can say is that I am disappointed with America and who they voted in as our president. At this point there is nothing I can do about who we have as a president, but I know that I can pray for him and hope that he leads us in the right direction as a country.

After hearing the results I watched Mitt Romney's concession speech. I could tell by his speech that he was very disappointed with his loss. Mitt Romney ended his speech by saying," I so wish- I so wish I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction, but the nation chose another leader. And so Ann and I join you to earnestly pray for him and for this great nation."
