Demographics are destiny. Romney would have won if the population looked like it did in Reagan’s time. But that’s not today’s reality. And while there may have still barely been enough white people in the United States in 2012 to elect a GOP president, Romney wasn’t an energizing enough candidate to pull off the required perfect storm of suburban and exurban turnout - that needed to happen in the face of a tidal wave of media negative coverage.
Wrong. Demographics are pretense.
Morality is destiny. Morality is ultimately why Romney lost.
