Mitt Romney and his family decided to dress as their alter egos for Halloween, giving the world a peek at who they secretly want to be.

Romney’s wife, Ann, put on her best millennial look with a bright pink wig, arm tattoos and a beanie, while family children came as a fierce werewolf and a football player for the New England Patriots.

But who did the former Massachusetts governor consider his alter ego?

Was it Superman, an easy go-to hero? Was it the president of the United States, which Romney unsuccessfully ran for in 2012? 

No, the only alter ego that Romney could identify with was himself. So he wore his usual formal button-up, slacks and a Mitt Romney mask.

Bravo, Romney.

In a time of cringe-worthy masks of politicians’ faces, this was a classy way to pull one off.
