I agree. The computer modeling is pretty accurate.
Romney needed to come out well ahead in Florida, NC, Va and Ohio.
Not happening.
Choosing Ryan over RUbio was a critical error. Rubio would have assured Florida and shaved Hispanic votes off elsewhere.
Who to blame?
Start with that bloated obscenity in New Jersey Chris Christie who helped Obama blow Benghazi off the map with his cameo appearance in the news walking arm in arm with the fat F—k. It made Obama look presidential and bipartisan and Christie knew EXACTLY what he was doing.
Blame Jorge El Segundo. That’s right. Jorge. In his 8 years of office an unmitigated flood of illegal Hispanic voters came over the borders and these people are even now influencing the race.
And, LASTLY, blame the doofuses in the GOP who managed to pull off the unbelievable - loosing to a president whose domestic and foreign policies have been catastrophic.
I will read the grimy details tomorrow and digest the implications for myself and what was once a great nation.
I take your point about Rubio, but this time (unlike in 2008), I don’t blame our candidates. I put all the blame on the electorate. A majority of the country wants socialism. And that’s what they’ll get.
What can we even do going forward? I’m not sure we can do anything. I’m honestly at the point where I don’t think Republicans can win big elections anymore. The population prefers handouts and safety nets over freedom.
