Romney’s stature and appeal across the country have grown since he lost the election to President Barack Obama in November 2012. He’s undoubtedly more popular today than he was when he was campaigning for the presidency. The 2014 Netflix documentary Mitt softened his image beyond the robotic, cut-throat corporate man label Obama’s campaign successfully stuck to him, and his appeal within the Republican Party has gotten stronger as Obama’s approval ratings have gotten weaker. Like it or not, Mitt Romney is now playing the role of the elder in the Republican Party, a figure that other presidential hopefuls look up to for support, advice, and encouragement.
