Hindsight can be just as haunting as it is rewarding. Mitt Romney supporters are probably experiencing both of these feelings right now, and those who didn’t support him are probably kicking themselves. Less than one year after the Republican candidate was defeated by President Obama, many of Romney’s predictions are coming true. Most notably, Russia has proved to be not so friendly, and the U.S. government was not able to save Detroit with bail outs.

Romney’s former finance director Spencer Zwick described this as a bittersweet vindication for Romney, “There’s no way to say, ‘OK, well, I didn’t win the presidency but I’m going to continue to fight.’ There’s no fighting. There’s no platform to do that. Fifty million Americans voted for the guy and yet it’s all for nothing.”

The votes were cast, and we must live with our decision for the next 3 years. All that Romney and his supporters can hope for is that voters have learned a lesson and will apply it in the future.
