MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry made an appearance on Now on Friday where she weighed in on the flood of early post-mortems coming out of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign with more than a month left to go in the election cycle. Harris-Perry said that, after Romney loses, he will not be able to retain political influence in the way that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) salvaged his political position after losing in 2008. She said that Romney will recede into posterity and be looked back on as a 'speed bump in history.'
Guest host Ari Melber read a portion of a widely circulated Politico report on Friday in which an unnamed official close to Mitt Romney said that the GOP presidential nominee is a bad candidate and is 'naturally an executive.'
He asked BuzzFeed Editor Ben Smith for his insights on Romney's campaigning. 'When was the last time that Governor Mitt Romney made a speech, or did an event or otherwise made some sort of news that had an impact on this race,' Melber asked.
'I don't know. It's been a while,' Smith replied. 'Every single day, he's losing it day by day in a, kind of, new and creative method.' He said it should be troubling for the Mitt Romney that his staffers are beginning to leak to the press in order to salvage their reputations this far out from Election Day.
Harris-Perry said that the future looks bleak for Romney if he loses, as compared with candidate who have lost in the past. 'There actual is extra credit for losing creatively if you are a current office holder,' said Harris-Perry.
'If you are a senator or a governor and you're going to go back to that job, then in fact there are ways you can lose and still retain your position ' for example, as McCain does as a particular kind of voice within the context of the Senate,' Harris-Perry continued. 'When you are, as Romney said multiple times in the primary, an unemployed guy, then what happens is you simply become, sort of, a speed bump in history.'

It's amazing'In 2008, Obama said 'I don't want to wake up four years from now and find out that our children's future was mortgaged by another mountain of debt.' But four years later, that's exactly what's he's waking up to.
Instead of cutting the deficit in half, as promised, the president did the opposite. He created four record budget deficits'$1.4 trillion in 2009, $1.3 trillion in 2010, $1.3 trillion in 2011, and it is projected to reach $1.3 trillion in 2012.
What have we gotten in return? A weak economy. A bloated government. A failed $831 billion stimulus. A job-killing healthcare bill. Loans to failed companies like Solyndra. An embarrassing credit downgrade.

Yeah, Romney might be a speed bump to perpetual poverty. It's time to send Barry back to Chicago. -
I think that the name Romney will be remembered for many years.
Instead of the word 'lie,' we will use the word 'Romney.' As in: That's a filthy Romney! You take that back!
Instead of the word 'a$$hole,' we will use the word 'Romney.' As in: Does Paul Ryan's wife have a bleached Romney?

'He said it should be troubling for the Mitt Romney that his staffers are beginning to leak to the press in order to salvage their reputations this far out from Election Day.' Ben Smith, BuzzFeed Editor
Romney's own staffers are beginning to jump ship'
'That's tough!

The hapless girly-man failure in the White House, who actually referred to himself, on TV, as 'eye candy' will not be spoken of at all in the future.
Dems will try to erase him from the history books and deny that he ever existed.
-
Harris Perry is right. If Romney loses, he'll have no value to the party. He'll be a 2 time failure for president and in those two attempts, he was never in office.
Once in a while MSNBC analysts will actually have something to say that isnt leaning towards bias. Harris Perry nailed it here I think today.
Full disclosure, Im a dem for whatever that is worth
-
Again, the party continues to blame the candidate rather than their failed ideas which produces these types of candidates.
-
Exactly!

Two years from now, after going bankrupt almost immediately after slinking out of the White House, Obama will be living alone in a rusty trailer in Whoopi's backyard.
Even he is sickened at the sound of his name and is now known as Captain Funkadelic as he makes speeches for cigarettes on the streetcorner, until no one at all will give him any.
-
'tis better to be a speed bump, than a fly on the windshield.
But in all honesty, I'm not sure Perry's career will rise to 'fly' status either.
-
I don't think speed-bump is very accurate.
I would use road-kill.
-
And when this sniveling little racist cockroach named MHP is gone, she'll be remembered just the way she is now: As the vapid, disgraceful, and temperamental liberal piece of trash that she is.
-
Liar!
She will not be remembered at all.
-
It'll actually be much worse for Romney when he loses, as 5 seconds after that happens the knives will come out and they'll tear him to pieces. It wasn't conservative ideology that lost, it was their sucky candidate, is what they'll drone on endlessly for months or years afterward.
-
LOL!
-
I love love LOVE MHP!
Romney is completely irrelevant. He's a lousy politician and a lousy executive. Howard Stern says it the best:

CIRCLE JERK!

Take note Obama, MHP just showed you how to properly apply the phrase 'speed bump.' We'll done MHP.
-
That applies to so many cable news anchors that I don't have time to make a list. Get over it and enjoy the trailer park drama. Ever watch CNN much?

Romney is defective, a poor driver on a rich NASCAR team, he drives it into the wall everytime, never have truer words been spoken. It is humiliating everytime he opens his mouth. The GOP is in a mess if that was the best they could do.
