Few political figures have undergone a more abrupt change of stature than Mitt Romney. Republicans’ presidential nominee in 2012, Romney now is an outcast in the party. Once seen as a pragmatist prone to flip-flopping, he’s now taking a bold, career-ending stand against Donald Trump. That is the journey chronicled In “Romney: A Reckoning” by McKay Coppins, a political writer for the Atlantic, a scoop-rich biography released on the heels of his Senate retirement announcement.
To Romney’s mind, the collapse of father’s campaign came from one poorly worded, offhand statement: Explaining his new opposition to U.S. involvement in Vietnam, he said he’d been “brainwashed” into supporting the war. He was blasted by critics for using an emotionally charged word that made him look indecisive.
