If you’ve ever wanted a behind-the-scenes look at a presidential candidate getting his ass handed to him, you’re in luck. Netflix just dropped the trailer for its upcoming documentary Mitt, the work of a journalist who stuck to Romney like a barnacle as he tried for six years to become president.

The trailer promises to show the H U M O N side of Romney 9000, complete with the moment he realized he was going to lose the election. For extra emotion, they’ve used a Beirut song at the end and clips of his sons saying things like, “If you don’t win, we’ll still love you.”

However, it looks like we’ll also get a healthy serving of dorky Mitt, doing things like trying to iron a tux he’s already wearing while deadpanning “Ouch.” No, really! Here is a GIF, courtesy NY Mag:

He sure looks like a chief executive—from a sitcom about a bumbling president, that is. President Dad, coming to CBS’s Wednesday night lineup this fall.
