Reeling from a second straight loss to Barack Obama, a flailing Republican Party in 2013 found its culprit: Mitt Romney's callous tone toward minorities. Instead of being doomed to irrelevance in a changing America, the party would rebrand as a kinder, more inclusive GOP. They called their findings an "autopsy," and party leaders from Paul Ryan to Newt Gingrich welcomed it with fanfare. But even then, Donald Trump was lurking.

Is there any doubt left that the Republican Party has been stage managed by forces and factions that spit upon the founding principles of this nation. Oligarchs - America’s aristocracy, American’s monarchy, unmerited power derived from birthright- not ability or intelligence or ethical standards. A state of mind governed by the accumulation of wealth and control of human destinies with allegiance to no nation, no people, no history, no tradition other than the exercise of dominion over the minds of otherwise free and unfettered beings. Now it is their time to watch America rise up in defiance standing shoulder to shoulder against the very evils that our Founding Fathers warned us against in word and deed. Sons of Liberty, grab your manhood and advance upon the forces of Ultimate Stupidity.
They decided to run Jeb.
They learned nothing.
Now they are getting schooled.
The autopsy made the point that the Party should let the people choose. That didn’t last long.
Very well written. The last sentence seemed a little anachronistic.
Mitt Romney would now be President if he had not been a Mormon. Many Christians just could not pull the handle for a Mormon, so opted out. I had no problem as I wanted Obama OUT!
Christie didn’t help after sucking up to Obama after Hurricane Sandy hit.
Heck, the only part of mitten’s campaign that I liked was his “callous tone toward minorities” (what a complete red herring that one is!). But I strongly suspect that the GOPe feeeeels that they are in lockstep with this analysis and that the pubbies need to pander to minorities way more.
Our goal is make all of them unemployed from NYC to DC to LA, after we elect Trump as President in November.
Mitt would be President if he hadn't let Obama and Candy Crowley manhandle him in the debate.
As Trump says, he choked.
What report? This was about as dishonest a report as one could get. This article is so out of touch its wack.

I voted for Mitt as well, also holding my nose because I wanted Obama out, but I don’t agree it was because he was LDS. I think many couldn’t/wouldn’t vote for him because he was acting like a pathetic RINO who wouldn’t even call Obama and Hillary out on the deaths in Benghazi.
:: Mitt Romney would now be President if he had not been a Mormon ::
HORSESHIT! And I say that as a Lutheran.
Romney isn’t POTUS simply because he curled up in the face of being called a “rayciss” by the Media.
To quote Mel Brooks, “Can’t you see this man is a ni-—!”
Seriously. They should have known that another Bush was the very LAST guy the electorate was going to go for.
The thought of another Bush going up against another Clinton would cause most Americans to go into the voting booth and puke. Idiots!
What are their FR nicks?
A guy who cannot take on Candy Crowley cannot take on the responsibilities of the Oval Office.
Amen.

The goal of the Establishment of both parties was to run Yeb! and cankles.
That way, it didn’t matter who one or lost they would still able to keep the status quo
Who one= who won
Recent news reports say the notoriously greedy Clintons used their tax-exempt Clinton Foundation charity to setup a Romney-like money-making private equity fund in the corrupt country of Columbia.
Why Columbia?
WIKI REFERENCE---In 2000, the Clinton administration committed $1.3 billion in foreign aid to the corrupt country of Columbia...... and up to five hundred military personnel to train local forces. An additional three hundred civilian personnel were allowed to assist in the eradication of coca.
The Clinton deal was an addition to $330 million of previously approved US aid to Colombia. $818 million was earmarked for 2000, with $256 million for 2001.
The Clinton-era appropriations for his Columbia Plan made Colombia the third largest recipient of foreign aid from the United States at the time.
--SNIP--
As of 2008, the U.S. has provided nearly $1.3 billion to Colombia through Clinton Plan Colombia nonmilitary aid programs:
<><> Alternative Development (2000-2008 cost: $500 million)
<><> Internally Displaced Persons (2000-2008 cost: $247 million)
<><> Demobilization and Reintegration (2000-2008 cost: $44 million)
<><> Democracy and Human Rights (2000-2008 cost: $158 million)
<><> Promote the Rule of Law (2000-2008 cost: $238 million)
