We debate a lot of things here but this boils it down fairly well. It's the math stupid...

Hopefully we can flip a few because if not, the math is slanted in the Dems favor for some time to come.

The problem with this line of thinking is that it fails to take the candidates into account. It assumes people will vote the same way regardless of who is on the ballot. This is simply not the case for ~40% of the voting country.

The 3.8 percent point margin by which President Obama defeated Mitt Romney included about 2% vote fraud.

How about the GOP-E back a guy or gal who adheres to stated GOP values in the platform, is not an amnesty pimp, and who actually wants the job and will fight harder against Democrats in the general instead of Republicans in the primaries?

Nah, can't have that.

It will only get worse as the GOP allows themselves to be trod upon by the Dims, the media, and the Chamber of Commerce.

Romney won every state where electronic voting was not allowed.

Eliminate electronic voting, and Democrats cannot win a nationwide election. Without massive voter fraud, Democrats would be a less than 1/3 minority in the US Senate, permanently.

Okay, seriously, if the left believes that they are going to get black males between the ages of 18 - 45 to turn out to vote for an old white woman...they are just nuts.

So...doesn’t matter, Warren or Clinton...the black male vote just isn’t going to be there — There is no planet in the universe where you will be able to get young black males excited to vote for Warren or Clinton, yeah, to them obamadork was “historic” and they rallied to the cause but the AA vote will be waaaaayyyyyy down because an old white woman isn’t historic to them.

Ask them?!?

It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that it dawned on me why voter turnout is so important. Those that really have a strong opinion are not going to flip parties. The most you can do is get them to not vote at all. Who here would have voted for Obama if Satan himself had run for the R’s?

I rest my case...

Unless they are able to improve their standing by 5 to 6 points in the key electoral states, they cannot win

A few suggestions:

1. Nominate a decent candidate, NOT a RINO and NO MORE BUSHES!

2. Quit attacking the Tea Party Conservatives. They are the only reason the GOP took congress in 2014.

3. Election Fraud is a MAJOR problem, particularly in swing states.

4. Screen the moderators for the debates! No more Candy "Fat Ass" Crowleys!

It’s mostly gibberish but the bottom line is that flipping the four states that Obama won by less than 5% (according to Morris) would make the Republican a winner (other states remaining the same).

We lost because the GOP-e nominated a Leftist RINO in 2012. That is all.

And I don’t expect that they’ve learned from their mistakes.

Perhaps we should not let the debates be run by the democrat party media?

It comes sown to this: Is the GOP going to send us another RINO that no one is enthusiastic for or will we get someone with the vision to be more than a DemocRat Lite candidate.

Without Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, the GOP can’t win.

BS

Every race is different.

When Reagan won 49 state landslides the same could of been said about the Democrats. But time moves on and the candidates change.

When we finally get a REAL conservative running again, the silent majority will finally speak up again.

Plus, Hillary is going to benefit from what I call “The V Factor.” (You can guess what that “V” stands for)

Obama won women by a pretty large margin, and I can see Hillary doing even better. Given that more women vote than men (who tend to reliably vote Republican, albeit not as lopsided as women vote Dim), this could be an issue.

Yet another reason that Scott Walker is the best logical choice.

They have to convince the black middle class to return to the Republican party by hammering at the failure and hypocrisy of Democratic social policies.
