Truth on Rush today: GOP lost the election because its base did not turn out.
Here’s why. When the nominee of the GOP got that nomination by carpet-bombing his opponents with super-PAC negative advertising during the primaries, he loses his base.
The party loses its base also. That’s why Romney lost, and it’s why so many good GOP candidates for House/Senate lost. Romney’s primary campaign was not honorable.
Read that point also, and it stuck with me.
Also during that time, the Dems were already targeting Romney, as the presumed GOP candidate, with anti-Romney commercials-—particularly in Ohio. They had a big head start.
