I disagree.
Romney lost for two reasons:
1) Obama has the black American population locked.
2) Romney does not have the white American population locked.
Fact is, many white Americans voted for Obama.
Yet very few black Americans voted for Romney.
Racism?
I would think it is apparent. But it is deeper. Romney turned away white Americans in significant numbers.
That was inexcusable.
The race is over, but let’s next time - run someone who Republicans genuinely like and support.
No more holding of our collective nose.
Let’s nominate someone next time, we LIKE.
Let’s nominate someone next time, we LIKE.

As I've repeatedly posted, hereabouts: "No political party or candidate in this country has ever won the office of the Presidency while (simultaneously) warring with/actively suppressing its own ideological voting base."
The GOP-e (and its willing CINO handmaidens) has attempted to disapprove this baseline, irrefutable electoral truth twice now, successively. Both times, the end result has been unalloyed disaster.
For the love of all that's holy, squishes: frickin' LEARN.
