Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney predictably wasn't too keen on Hillary Clinton's campaign kickoff speech Saturday. He took to MSNBC's Morning Joe on Monday to raise questions about the Democratic frontrunner's authenticity.

I thought the text touched the various places she needs to touch to try and keep her base intact. Somehow when you see her on a stage or when she comes into a room full of people, she's smiling with her mouth but her eyes are saying, "Where's my latte?" It just doesn't suggest that she believes everything she's saying.
