Romney is a closet liberal. That’s why we lost.
If the GOP-E runs another liberal, I expect I won't vote for them, either.

You cant “humanize” an inhumane pro-abortionist...
and tell your boy Willard not to waste his time running in 2016..
Conservatives said that would be the downfall of any Romney nomination, but Karl Rove & Co. thought they could sell a Wall St. billionaire in the middle of the worst recession since the Great Depression. Sure enough....they couldn’t....not with the Democrat Socialist media working for Obama, hiding such disasters as the murder of Americans at Benghazi.
Mr. RomneyCARE invented ... ObamaCARE
and wanted America to pretend otherwise.
To this day, Mr. RomneyCARE is the reason
the GOP will never, on its own, remove ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE.
When you hire bad advisors, you get bad advice.
They underestimated the amount of voter fraud
The Dem’s found it was just as easy to REMOVE good votes as it was to cast fraudulent votes. (maybe easier)
In the place I voted there were lines longer than I had ever seen. EVER. But some idiot woman I had never seen around town before put her ballot in, and then when it was halfway through YANKED IT BACK OUT.
This jammed the machine, and everyone behind her had to put their vote in the ‘emergency bin’.
When the vote counts were shown in the paper the next day, there was no uptick in the number of votes cast since the last election, despite the crowds I saw.
The woman who jammed the machine just walked out- she didn’t care if her vote was counted, of if she could get a new ballot, she seemed totally unconcerned...
Humanizing liberals isn't easy.
Romney won 60% of the white vote. A decade or two ago that would would have been enough to guarantee him a Nixon or Reagan like landslide victory.
What is not being discussed in all of these elections are dramatically changing demographic changes. Take my state of CA for example. When I moved here in the 1980s it was rock solid Reagan country. Now the state is 39% white and solid blue.
The same demographic changes have occurred in Europe as well. Declining and ageing native white populations giving way to ethnic minorities.
Even Romney’s promises of across the the board tax cuts and economic growth could not help him as there are now more tax users than taxpayers in this country. It is no longer the economy stupid as James Carville once said. It’s the demographics, stupid.
First off, the Washington Post is a Democrat newspaper. Take a look at the 1940 election.
A “pro-2A” guy who signs in a permanent assault weapons ban then lies about his own gun ownership is hard to “humanize”.

“It’s the candidate, stupid.”
Why are they talking about this.
He is a wimp
He attacked everyone on his own side like a sissy with a bully older cousin who disappeared when the real enemy showed up
All of the GOP establishment thinks the way he does so they’ll never get it
And it will happen again if they and their big cousins (this round the ones wit the $ are big retailers and the like for whom amnesty works in the short term. Unwise fools. And very afraid of dems, their voters, their media and most especially has been hillary whom they’ll treat a lot better than they do Cruz and Sarah) aren’t sent home
This is so ugh
One incident that keeps lingering in my mind is when a reporter questioned Romney on his reaction to the big Chick-Fil-A protest. Obviously didn’t expect him to give a big thumbs-up (especially since he himself helped facillitate fag-marriage in MA by not confronting the legislature’s actions). But you’d think he could at least muster a sort of generic praise for people standing up for their beliefs. No, instead, Romney replied with a pathetic “uh, that’s not part of my campaign.” What a damned coward. The worst kind of cowardly politico.
I already disliked him for his liberal record, and his scumbag minions (Stevens, Madden) who constantly trashed Palin and the tea-party. Not even letting Palin nor the very words “tea party” appear at the convention. But that Chick-Fil-A response was the moment I truly came to have utter contempt for the man. Loathed his blasted guts. The first GOP candidate in my voting lifetime who did not get my vote. And seeing his ticket-mate, Paul Ryan, now embracing amnesty, homo-adoption, and Obamacare, my anger and disgust at the ticket continues unabated. Damn the whole 2012 GOP campaign crowd to hell!
The irony of the Romney campaign is that the longer it went, the more I became convinced that he would be a much better president than Obama despite all his flaws and wishy-washy liberal positions, and I also thought he was a better candidate than what the GOP had offered in a long time. He clearly was better than McCain and Dole and, in retrospect, was probably better than Bush I or Bush II. That’s a sad statement for me to think about — in my opinion, Romney was probably the best national candidate the Republican Party has put up since Reagan.
Romney sure wasn’t perfect but the alternative means we have to sweat out this health care bill, have the most pro-abortion left winger ever. I liked Santorum, Perry, Gingrich and Paul all well before Romney.
