The statement is secretly recorded and released to the public.
What happens? Well, we don't have to speculate because this isn't imaginary. It really happened, and Mitt Romney's well-documented (and also totally accurate) comment about the 47 percent of voters who depend on government was used to beat him in the head continually by the news media. It helped lead to his defeat. If you ask me, that's an injustice because the statement was not only accurate but very much worth discussing, But I don't make the rules, and that's what happened.
