I have to laugh at anyone trying to portray the Romneys’ youthful “struggles” as something that let’s them relate to ordinary people. They decided to marry & start a family while still in college. In most cases one or both of the new parents have to quit school in order to support the family. Fortunately, neither of them had to work because Mitt was able to pay their rent by selling stocks that his father had given him. I somehow doubt that the basement apartment they lived in was unpleasant.They weren’t looking at having to live in a homeless shelter or really struggle just to make ends meet. Ann Romney has had some life challenges in raising five boys, dealing with MS and cancer, but they have never worried about money for a single day in their lives.
