Can the GOP win another Presidential election after its candidate Mitt Romney lost against President Obama?
While that was not the question raised by a recent poll and a discussion of that poll by a well-respected pollster, the issue can reasonably be asked by those reviewing the numbers.

This "third party" talk is very, very destructive and not even possible.
We must get realistic about this. We must all stick together even if we don't like who the primary voters chose and we must get aggressive about fraud.
CPA’s etc are freaking because they don’t have answers for their clients...
Quote them the Rolling Stones line:
“You can’t always get what you want.......
But if you try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need....”
In this case the “ try sometime” and “ get what you need” are the results of
not realizing what O unleashed on you in the name of taking care of the middle class.
My opinion, Absolutely. Actually, while I would have liked the election to have gone to Romney as much as anyone, there may be a silver lining. IMHO, the USA is headed to a depression that will dwarf the 1930’s.Much of it is likely to happen in the next 4 years. It is unlikely that Romney could have stopped it.Had he been in office while the spiral downward continued, he would have been blamed. Obama’s regime may very well have to cut out many of the entitlements his supporters have come to depend on. And he will get the blame for it.
If the treatment of Sarah Palin by Romney, the Republican establishment, and so forth, the answer is no.
I like Sarah Palin, she can energize the conservative base
like we have not seen since the days of Reagan and Goldwater. She can raise money and deliver the vote.
To deny her a speaking role at the Republican convention was
idiotic. In the interests of full disclosure-I think if she
ran for president she would lose, but she can be a force it the elections in 2014 and 2016.
In addition the Democrats are working to defund the GOP. Obama’s NLRB will allow card check for organizing companies. Thousands of companies will be organized in a short period of time and the compulsory union dues will be funneled into Democrat campaigns. Meantime as soon as the Dems get one more liberal on the Supreme Court they will overturn Citizens United and cut off all corporate contributions to campaigns. The Dems will benefit from billions in union money. The Republicans will be reduced to begging for $10 from individuals. You’ll see future Republican Presidential candidates forced to run on the $200 million in federal money while the Democrat candidate buys up the airways with over $1 billion to spend.
The fairness doctrine will be imposed on the media to kill conservative talk radio. The internet will also be regulated. Hate speech legislation will also be passed to silence opponents. By 2020 one party rule should be fully entrenched and we will be well on the way to becoming a third world hell hole.
Maybe not. I see a popular republican winning back enough women and miniorities. But it won’t be easy. And that is the only way it happens. Too many people are on the dole one way or the other, and liking it.
I would have believed that too until seeing the Santa Claus technique in action. Unless there is a GOP candidate the can out Santa the Dems, it’s likely not going to change. The dependent class will never vote for a party that will take away their free stuff. I’ve talked to a few recently. They fear that if a republican gets into office they will no longer get WIC, welfare, EBT cards, etc... It’s like a heroin addict choosing between rehab or a lifetime free supply of heroin. As long as the producers continue to fund the takers and looters, nothing will change.
“Everyone talks about this demographic transformation as if it's a natural phenomenon, like Hurricane Sandy. Indeed, I notice that many of those exulting in the inevitable eclipse of “white America” are the same people who assure me that demographic arguments about the Islamization of Europe are completely preposterous. But in neither the United States nor Europe is it a natural phenomenon. Rather, it's the fruit of conscious government policy.
According to the Census, in 1970 the “Non-Hispanic White” population of California was 78 percent. By the 2010 census, it was 40 percent. Over the same period, the 10 percent Hispanic population quadrupled and caught up with whites.
That doesn't sound terribly “natural” does it? If one were informed that, say, the population of Nigeria had gone from 80 percent black in 1970 to 40 percent black today, one would suspect something rather odd and unnatural had been going on. Twenty years ago, Rwanda was about 14 percent Tutsi. Now it's just under 10 percent. So it takes a bunch of Hutu butchers getting out their machetes and engaging in seven-figure genocide to lower the Tutsi population by a third. But, when the white population of California falls by half, that's “natural,” just the way it is, one of those things, could happen to anyone.”

Right on the money.
If they do it will be with democrat help!
Maybe we should become democrats. We can bring back the conservative wing of the democratic party. It was only a generation ago that they controlled my home state of Alabama. Believe me, those democrats were not Liberals!
Still, for all the winning democrats did these past few years, down South we are still very conservative and democrats have faired badly here. I feel another divorce coming. I know many will not just give up, but fight. Dixie lives!
Alabama’s Motto: Audemus jura nostra defendere — We Dare Defend Our Rights!
I agree. Until the GOP grows a spine I will not vote for them and I will not get emotionally wrapped up again. Liberal lite and I will sit it out. When you have a candidate that is too afraid to say that Obama didn’t even attend his security meetings and many other things, we have a huge problem. No spine, no guts, no money, no vote.
BO will be out campaigning-a la Bill Clinton- for whoever is running. He will be non-stop. We will never get rid of him.
We need a wildcard in 2016. No MORE WASHINGTON POLS. I’m talking a serious out of left field pick like a General or an Actor, or a football star. Clint Eastwood, Dennis Miller, Bart Starr, Oliver North.
Now that, I think would do it! I just want someone that is not afraid of the press. It’s that just too much to ask?
The big story in 2013 and carrying into 2014 will be the failure to implement the Obamacare exchanges and the huge premiums that will be announced before the October 1, 2013 medical insurance plan election period.
Also, the wave of layoffs caused by the 50 employee trigger level and the 30-hour full-time level will spike the unemployment rate and crush economic growth. This will continue until the public demands repeal of Obamacare, IMO.
That is a good question, are republicans capable of learning from mistakes like Romney?
Do hard left, Obamacare, Masschusetts governors with a single election victory in 20 years of campaigns, and that could not run for reelection in that single term, because they ended with 34% approval, normally do real well as republican presidential candidates? Do republicans want to try a different type of candidate in 2016?
These things tend to go in cycles. I’m sure after Ronald Reagan won with 49 states in 1984 the Democrats were asking the same questions. The only difference is they learned from their mistakes and don’t keep putting up candidates that the people don’t want, like the Republicans do.
