My Take
I find Mitt Romney more interesting in defeat than most politicians are in victory. The resume is formidable — turnaround consultant, savior of the Salt Lake City Olympics, governor, senator, presidential nominee — but what stays with me is his willingness to cast lonely votes against his own party when conscience demanded it. The 2021 Profile in Courage Award was earned, not honorary. You can disagree with his politics, and plenty do, yet his career argues that personal decency and ambition can coexist. In an era that rewards noise, Romney bet on steadiness, and I suspect history will treat that bet kindly.
