We lost by 3.8% to Obama.
We had Romney, and Obama had the passionate support of almost every news organization in the entire world.
We maintained our majority of state governors, state legislatures, and in the House of Representatives.
We have only two political threats:
(1) Immigration - because new citizens vote 80% for the Democrat Party.
(2) The MSM - because after 40 years of being a punching bag for media elites, the GOP still has NO national strategy to fight back!

I’m 81, I go back as an active Republican campaigner to before Nixon and then to Goldwater/Reagan .While I have a website I’ve been using FR’s as my blog. I retired after Reagan won and moved out of state but before that I ran successful campaigns for state and local legislative offices. In the Reagan campaigns assisted the state chair in developing campaign pieces for Reagan’s successful bid both in the primary and the general elections where I’ve been told by John L Waner* some of my stuff is in the Reagan library. The state was Illinois, the city Chicago. If my stuff is there or not I don’t know for certain but that’s what John told me.* Regional HUD director under Nixon
First of all guys like Rove and others ignored the mechanicss of basic campaigning. They allowed the M.ainline S.ocialist M.edia to drive the issues and are still doing so they learned nothing from their disasters.
These people I call them GOPES because it rhymes with dopes right now are falling into the same trap. Limbaugh and Levin, God bless themm ...realize that what Limbaugh calls the LIV’s (low intelligence voters) actually believe that Obama is offering the preverbial “olive branch” to Republicans when actually he is proceeding on his path to complete socialism. AND THEY CAN’T CALL HIM A LIAR .
This administration came up with a policy on energy which had driven up the cost on everything. It was on the tounge of every black, white. yellow,and brown skined person living in the US....IT WENT UNTOUCHED in the 2012 campaign....WORSE YET IT IS STILL GOING UNCHALLANGED
Now the GOPES are buying into the “demographic” argument offered by the MSM. Here you have an issue staring at them straight in the face affecting every man,woman,and child of every skin color and you can’t bring it up and they talk about “demographics” being pushed by the socialist media .
They should be decrying the philosphy of “demographics” by stating they’re Americans first not Afro-Americans. not Hispanic-Americans and not-Asian-Americans, or “White”-Americans. The counter charge should be these are socialist tactics neing pushed by the hypenated Demo-coms. Democrats in socialist/fascist clothing.
Nuts....
