Michael Luo reviews “Romney: A Reckoning,” by McKay Coppins, a biography of the senator and former Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
This moment, captured in the 2014 documentary “Mitt,” encapsulates the enduring paradox of Mitt Romney. After serving as a moderate governor in Massachusetts, where his signature accomplishment was enacting universal health care, he went through an ideological and tonal makeover as he labored, during two failed Presidential campaigns, to navigate the rightward lurch of his party. He never shed the aspersion that he was a flip-flopper, a man lacking true conviction.
But, in Coppins’s telling, Romney’s advisers continued to nudge him to tend to the far right. His rhetoric on immigration verged on nativist; during one Republican debate, he suggested “self-deportation” for undocumented immigrants. He also sought the endorsement of Trump, who had spent months stoking baseless conspiracy theories about Obama’s birthplace. Romney captured the nomination but was trounced by Obama in the election.
