"Over two million less Republicans voted for Romney than they did McCain. Total Republicans that didn’t vote for him probably double that."

------------------

Umm, no.

Mitt Romney got at least 60,848,333 votes (a few states have yet to report final numbers) in 2012:

John McCain only got 59,950,323 votes in 2008:

So Mitt Romney got around 1 million more votes than did John McCain.

I’ve posted that several times, nobody seems to have gotten the memo cause it fits the anti-RINO narrative and down plays the other reasons we lost.

That doesn’t meant of course that some Republicans didn’t turn out, some obviously didn’t but it wasn’t so bad that he actually got less votes than McCain.
