Let’s stop blaming Romney or the GOPe. There isn’t some conspiracy, but only the reality of bad demographics, terrible GOP outreach (find an Indian businessman, Korean grocer or high income black that’s a Republican) and conservatives ourselves.
We have a crummy bench, coalesce around great “ideas” instead of great candidates. Democrats are a power party. They only want to win and get their way. It’s a zero sum game. We have to win and to do that you have to get the right message, right candidate and the right vote totals.
We’re in a tough spot.
“Let’s stop blaming Romney or the GOPe.”
I am merely stating facts - one cannot win without the base and too many of them did not vote for him - they skipped that line. We had millions less votes than we did in 2008 and indicates too many of the base rejected Romney. The same thing will happen in 2016 if the GOPe promotes another liberal.
