I’m not pushing Romney if that’s what you are saying....I’m explaining why the GOP lost, and due to demographics it matters little at this point who’s on the ticket. The GOP is fading away, and Clinton is going to be difficult to beat because of the demographic shift in the nation....not cause she’s any good, she’s not.
He lost for one reason. He didn’t get the votes needed. Demographics or fraud are something all non Democrat candidates have faced. In 2012 he needed more than average to overcome it. But he still didn’t get enough. And ultimately that’s what counts.
Had the GOP run someone that could point to a more conservative record than Barry, we would have not had a 2nd Obama presidency. But where everyone knows Barry was against gay marriage once, Mitt could not even point to that much on his record. Instead, there was a desire to grab guns, gay the military and civ institutions, hard left judges and a seemingly endless list of leftism.
But no one EVER could say Mitt was even a moderate Repub because his record proved he could not aspire so high. And so people either stayed home or voted 3rd party. And if the GOP again runs Mitt or one of his many clones...Jeb, Perry, Rand or their ilk, we will see a third consecutive Democrat term unless the previous Romney voters abandon the path of failure and join us in voting for a conservative.
There are 2 years to find one and get behind him or her. There is no excuse and there is no reason anyone on the political right should ever consider a liberal like that idiot ever again. People who even bring up the possibility of holding their nose at this point, regardless of who they may be are not ‘us’ and as Reagan said in his 75 speech, ‘Let them go their own way.’
