Mitt Romney looks like every president from a 90s movie
I am a liberal Democrat, and I tend not to agree with issues politically with the Republican Party. But when I hear this video, I come away with respect and honor for Romney. What a man of intelligence and respect for the democratic process. Thank you for your service, Romney. Thank you.
Jesus, how quickly everything changed.
Yes the Republicans finally ditched this loser for a winner.
@@albertross18 Something we don't have now decency
@Flekk Bone Gnawer I'm certain you have many things to be embarrassed about but your President isn't one of them.
I'm actually surprised by how they conducted the 2020 dinner and barely anyone noticed
@@averst4047 now there's so much bitterness, it's a shame... hardly anything to admire in politicians.
What a Gentleman!! This is how politics and politicians should be, everywhere! No matter what your ideology is, this is the way it should be, the way the people all around the world deserve their representatives to be. Fierce competitive, yes. Strongly guided and motivated by your ideas, yes. But NEVER forgetting that we are, above all, all members of the human family.
" I was hoping he was going to bring Biden along cause he will laugh at anything" lol!
I enjoyed his sense of humor. We all need to be able to laugh at ourselves.
Crazy to think that in an alternate timeline, we'd be in a second Romney term right now and he'd be handling covid
Is it possible for Obama to run again if Romney won then?
@@Sivah_Akash Yes, Obama could have run again if Romney had won in 2012. But no president has been elected to nonconsecutive terms since Grover Cleveland
@@LukeHarold, when was that?
@@Sivah_Akash Grover Cleveland was U.S. president from 1885-89 and 1893-87
@@LukeHarold, thanks. 97 you mean :)
what i noticed about romney he is very assertive when he talks like he brings alot of confidence out of him.
Yep, he's very assertive as he drives by the White House.
That sesame street joke was savage lol
Even we got the joke here in New Zealand lol A great line! Mitt did a great job.
As a Democrat, yes that line KILLED, in a good way!
Can someone explain it to me?
As a Democrat I will say, at least this night, much respect to Romney. When a real republican man was polite, articulate and incredibly, had a sense of humor! Rare these days!
Felipe Pineda and he continues to not disappoint
Didn't exactly win him the election...
@@jeand9355 So what? There are more important things. Trump "won" the election, yet he is only liked and respected by one third of the country (his base) while the rest hate him.
Renato Fabbro exactly
Yes, of course. I am actually hoping for the elegant and respectable presidential election and people are debating in different controversial issues in America.
A Republican with class.
Yes, as a Democrat, you love Republican losers.
What a classy man Romney is.
He's also a fraud
I'm not a supporter of the Republican party, and I miss Romney, McCain, and Bush. I feel they were more about issues than this year, which had way too many petty insults
Idk Bush seemed all too trigger happy and all too happy to ignore warnings about potential attacks before 9/11. He was certainly very ready to go to war straight after...
Pierre Kasongo definitely not Bush
He lost. Trump may be rough around the edges but he's a winner. And winners are all history remembers.
Damn, Katie Couric looks like a million dollar here! So fine!
Love the lady’s reactions with laughter for Romney and Obama a time a true statesmanship.
Isn't that Katie Couric?
@@codekeeper5828 Thanks CK whoever it is my attention is captured and give myself laughing more.
@@patricknaera she is a very famous journalist in America.
She interviewed Palin in the infamous '08' interview, which SNL parodied, where Palin made a joke about seeing Russia from her bedroom window, with regards to her foreign policy experince.
These were true statesman. This 2016 election is just deplorable.
Are you insane? These people are going to use you as canon fodder one day.
John Ohama and Mitt?
Rockmyballsplease This is not about political parties. Where have you been? Do you have no idea of what is going on. This thing crosses party lines.
John this? What is this? Are you talking about the Al Smith Charity? Why don't you calm down before you respond?
Lol Statesmen? Obama is a gd war criminal.
starting at 8:00... this could not have possibly been more different than the remarks given by donald and hillary at the al smith dinner in 2016. it's unimaginable how running for president has slipped to this point 4 years later where nominees not only show open contempt for each other, but for democracy itself.
Romney and Obama had better jokes too.
Well, when democracy is about to fall to the establishment once and for all and war with Russia is imminent, you take on a more serious tone. Also, all election dinners end with "sincere" remarks for the other candidate and the country.
The candidates don't write the jokes.
It was an annual charity dinner not an election one. It just happened to fall in an election year. What Donald and Hillary did was a bit over the line of civility.
How I wish Sen. Romney would have made a challenge for the Republican party nomination.
Trump could never pull off a speech like this.
How you act when you lose is just as important as how you act when you win. It’s clear what kind of character Trump is when you see how he compares to his peers.
8:22 Thank you Romney, 8:24 Romney proved his words in 2020 against Trump. Thank you from a Dem.
How the Republican party went from this guy to Donald Trump in 4 years is unfortunate.
Absolute class act Mitt is. I'm a democrat but he has my utmost respect. Bravo sir!
Now I wonder why, as a Democrat, you love (the loser) Romney but hate (the winner) Trump 🤔
AlbertRoss If you have to wonder why, you’re hopeless.
@@bradleyewoodworth It was a rhetorical question. Your motives couldn't be more transparent.
@@bradleyewoodworth i’d love the opposing party’s loser too
@@MentalityIs that why you brainlets love John Kerry so much? Wait, you don't.
I'd take him over Trump or Clinton in a heartbeat and I'm not even a republican
Really, did you vote for him ?
He is a liberal but lies about it .
Can you blame him ? What sane person today would admit to being a liberal. They no longer support robust freedom of speech, they have forgotten the lesson of the Cold War and they are immersed in identity politics. They belong in small Nordic country where they can do no harm.
Of course you would. It’s laughably sad how much liberals today clamor for the Bush years now that Trump is in office.
I'm a Socalist and would have taken Mitt over Hilary
A man deserving of respect
this relaxed Romney should have shown up on the campaign trail.....
still would have lost...but it would have been a lot closer
Harri v'Jah uhh did u not listen to the joke romney made about the press? This is exactly what romney was like, the media just never reported it.
Who else is here after watching the terrible dinner of Trump & Hillary
africano0o Romney would have been a better to run this year.
africano0o it's remarkable how subdued and healthy and playful the jokes were. Respectful but funny. "There's more to life than politics." I miss 2012
The russian horse joke killed me though
That's why I'm here. As much as I disagreed with Romney's positions and as much as I've wished Obama had gone further, I don't think either of them are bad guys. They made jokes about each other and themselves in good fun, not like tonight. This election season has become beyond pitiful.
Trump ruined the mood when he went heavy handed at the end.
Eloquent speech like a true gentleman
Katie Couric actually looked like she was enjoying herself -lol
He is actually quite funny, as opposed to what's generally portrayed in the media.
“In our country you can oppose someone in politics & make a case against their policies without any ill will.”
When did America become so divided?
That’s a good man right there
Lol search him up....
A gentleman. 'nuff said.
2 far better candidates than in 2016 & 2020.
I was actually hoping the president would bring Joe Biden along this evening because he'll laugh at anything... hahaha
OMG Can politics be like this again? Not the shitshow that went down in 2016?
Both great candidates, down to earth, debating policy, respectfully. Not two senile 70-year-olds attacking each other.
Even if I lean to the right, I have always thought Obama was a great president and deserved to be elected twice. It’s sad that last year neither party could come up with a respectable candidate, quite embarrassing for the US as a country that out of the 325 million Americans people chose those 2.
That's a really great comment and well said
When politicians were civil
@adam adam by comparison tho
It's so sad to watch this in 2024 after the shitshow that some people still call a presidential debate.
So much class and decency.
Classy guy, whether you agree with his policies or not. This is what US politics should look like.
Dignified, civil, smart ... where did they all go?
Well we know where he didn't go... the White House!
I love this guy
If I was a Democrat, I'd love him too.
What happened in 2016, we devolved from Obama and Mitt to Hilary and Trump??!!
2:51 remember when we could joke about democrats being socialists
Obama did a communist joke on Bernie back in 2016.
not too much of a joke anymore
Romney must have some comedian working for him cuz he was never this funny!
He must have been funny, even Katie Couric laughed a bunch
Now this is High class humor.👏🏿😂🤣😆
I miss this America.
What a Man
I don't agree with his political opinions, but I respect him a lot!
I was mainly checking out Katie couric in the background
She looking fine AF
With the monster in the White House right now, it refreshing to see a good, classy Republican.
Yes, if only all Republican candidates could be polite losers like Romney.
@@albertross18 Yeah, good point. As soon as Trump becomes the dictator he's trying to be, the GOP will never have to worry about losing an election again!
Katie Couric, what a dish.
Thank god for archival information
Hows about Romney run for
the 2024 presidency...
''He has Bill Clinton''
He has such a great speaking voice and he’s SO handsome!!!! 😍
And he never drank
the debt was 16 trillion in 2012. lol
"Romney is using the dinner for politics too"
Al Smith was a politician, did you know? the dinner was founded by His Eminence, Francis Cardinal Spellman in 1946, to honor the memory of Alfred Emanuel Smith, New York's renowned Governor and patron of the "Little People", the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation brings hope to the neediest children of the Archdiocese of New York, regardless of race, creed, or color.
This was when democrats didnt attack the church.
how could he lose!?
I wonder if there will be one this year...
This was the last time I had any respect for the GOP - Romney would have been a good president. I wish he had run in 2016 instead of 2012.
7:46 - the man's laughter in the background; it kinda sounded like Ed McMahon (from the old Tonight Show, with Johnny Carson; not the replacement, with Jay Leno).
Aah, civil, sane times.
The one Republican who i think would be a good President -Clinton Supportet
That was quite good and i laughed at almost all the jokes. But i was struck by how it wasn't a personal vendetta with him.
I'm Tony Vargas and I approve this message.Tony
Good for you. Have a great day!
imagine such a dinner in 2024!
I remember not liking Romney ....and then there was Trump.
God bless
Time traveler fro 2023 here , i miss when elections where nice, Trump vs Trump Prime is turning nasty.
Senator Romney....
Believe it or not!
Mitt Romney was funnier than Obama .
I just love this man.Tony
It is soooooooooo great to these politicians taking funny jab at each other. Trump is just lies
Oh how I long for 2012!
Mic. Drop.
Fire!! 🔥
They laughing it up because they are living lavishly...
My job.. Vision.. Their job is to ensure nobody finds out about it...
I wish Trump would learn some decency lessons from Sen. Romney!
A real gentleman 👏 well done MITT..
Who makes that descision, that someone has "god on his side"? And which god of the thousands of religions is the "right one"? Proclaiming "God is on my side" is usually driven by pure self-interest - a very worldly motive of a human beeing, not very spiritual.
Who knew 4 years later this civility would be oblitarated......how time changes👍🏼
The difference between Obamas performance and Romney's? Obama made fun of Romney and himself, dispite it made himself look bad. Romney made mostly fun of Obama and made sure, that he was painted in a good light and Obama in a bad one.
near*
Because I used 'loose' instead of 'lose' and the spell check didn't get it so I don't know English. It must be difficult for you get by in life while holding yourself and everyone around you to standards like that.
no its katie couric who is definitely not a freeloader.
who is the woman behind him?
Katie Couric😊
He was going to say thank you for your extraordinary wealth
My attitude exactly
And it's now $28 trillion.
I voted you Mit
He’s mormon but he seems like a nice dude tho
Everyone is good today😭
They're all nice.
Better a Mormon than the fake evangelical today.
Nearly every Mormon you'll meet is salt of the earth. Best of the best. Will give you the shirt off their back, feed you, clothe you, care for you, and lift your burdens, all in the name of God and Jesus Christ. When they pray for you, it's like they are bringing down the powers of heaven. We're all special to God, but God LOVES his Mormons. He can always count on them to do His will. They are just made different.
Mormons showed who they are when they DIDNT support everything Trump was doing. Yeah, they’re a little odd, but they stayed consistent and showed that they have their limits to what is “ok”
His finest political moment
Boy i sure miss does times .
should have elected him
Not as funny as John McCain, but still very good.
4:53 AWESOME! so cool!
Me yo right 💯
whats wrong with his bow tie?
