...Gloop was eliminated from the contest first because of his excess, these candidates will drop out early (or already have) because of a similar flaw. Next is former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney, who, as the son of a former Michigan governor grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, much like Dahl’s Veruca Salt.
