Republican strategist and pollster Frank Luntz doesn’t think Mitt Romney knows “how to talk about” his experience in the private sector at Bain Capital. And Luntz has some advice for the presidential contender. He told CBS:
Every — Bain is the pinnacle of a successful, free-market company that helps companies survive and grow. And they also don’t have a perfect record. Not every company succeeded with them. Everyone respected Bain. And now suddenly it’s become the focal point of the presidential campaign and Mitt Romney doesn’t know how to talk about it, which I don’t understand. It’s simple. If I can: We need to be the most effective nation economically. We need to be the most competitive nation economically. We need to have the best training, the best education, the best resources, the best tools. And companies like Bain help other companies provide, create the best. Did they succeed every time? No. Because not every business succeeds every time. But we are part of promoting economic freedom, and we’re being attacked by somebody who never worked in the private sector a day in his life.
