Make excuses all you want but Romney lost.
Going back to 2011 conservatives and this site as one of them said Romney was not a winning candidate.
We were ignored.
The GOP-e machine ran huge propaganda campaigns not aimed at getting Romney elected but to put out the false perception that Romney was winning and that in fact it was a landslide coming.
The pols and pundits who perpetrated this fraud need to have their feet held to the fire.
We need to name names as well.
I will start with one in the conservative radio media: Hugh Hewitt.
He even wrote a book a number of years ago called Mormon in the Whitehouse and the support and move for Romney was long term and consistent.
They belittled conservatives and used the phrase and working hypothesis of “most conservative electable candidate”.
Key being “electable”.
But they were wrong. Proven wrong. They were told in advance they were wrong.
Today they still are doing the same thing.
The Tea Party ran the 2010 campaign and had large influence in direct suppport for Scott Walker and Wisconsin issues.
Those campaigns won.
GOP-e Romney did not win.
2012 GOP-e said for Tea Party to stay out of it.
George Bush won twice under the same constraints as Romney.
GOP-e told him to stay out of it (even though he is GOP-e).
The losers told the winners to stay out of it and let the pro big boys play.
The pro big boys with billions lost.
These fellows and gals are not our enemy. But they are not competent to win.
This needs to be known and communicated to them.
I will start with one in the conservative radio media: Hugh Hewitt.
As long as we are "naming names" Let's prominently display one mentioned in the article, Ann Coulter.
I bought every book she wrote, in duplicate, until she went hard left for Romney. Never again.
