WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Barack Obama ran for re-election, Democrats made no secret of their disdain for Mitt Romney. That was all before Donald Trump.
Horrified by the prospect of Trump in the White House, Obama and his party have changed their tune about Romney. As they denounce Trump as "unhinged" and unfit, they're getting nostalgic about the 2012 Republican nominee they now describe as principled, competent and honorable.
Both Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump lost ground with those who voted for their respective party in 2012, according to a Red Oak Strategic Poll published Tuesday.
