I truly believe that the information about Romney/Bain Capital and the companies that he helped starve/destroy (as well as the jobs lost ) should be a major campaign issue. Every other Republican candidate should be presented with the information and their feet should be held to the fire if they do not use the info. Smugness is not a virtue and Romney keeps “suggesting” how much business experience he has. This is not the kind of of business person we need leading this country.
I am not affiliated with any of the other presidential candidates and would really appreciate any info you wish to share directly. Really enjoyed the “Buyout” even though it kept me awake many nights.
