Romney Seeks to Reemerge as a Public Voice

The Boston Globe notes Mitt Romney “did not form a political action committee, and he did not try to play a major role in the Republican Party” after his defeat last year. He knew “that the Romney brand of Mr. Fix-it had been undermined by his own words and failed strategy.”

“But as the calendar nears this week’s anniversary of his 2012 defeat, and a difficult year of reflection comes to a close, Romney is intent on re-emerging — slowly, carefully, in the calculated way of a cautious investor sensing an opportunity — but re-emerging nonetheless.”
