Except a conservative candidate, or a candidate who ran a good election, or a candidate that didnt seem out-of-touch.
I personally know plenty of liberal democrats that were very unhappy with Obama. These are people who I know at work, or in my family, or close family friends, and they are all doing quite well for themselves. They were begging for the Republican Party to put up someone that was a normal, intelligent, authentic, consistent individual who meant what he said and cared about people, and cared about the country. Note these are qualities of a human being, not qualities of a political stripe. Mitt Romney did not run a campaign that presented him as this person (whether or not he is, I don't know). Romney came across as a phony, pandering, aloof, and completely out-of-touch. Since I've seen "off air" comments where he is not this person, so I'll presume he got some really bad campaign advice. Romney failed not because he was a conservative (he wasn't) but because he ran an awful campaign that alienated pretty much everyone.I doubt we shall see another Republican President ever again. Sorry people wanting hand outs are not going to vote for the person wanting to take them away.
To think Obama won because of handouts, while I'm sure is easier than soul-searching, completely misses the point.
So, it had nothing to do with the fact that Romney got only 20% of the hispanic vote, while George W Bush got 40% of the hispanic vote (for example)? No, No... it was... the "ronbots."
So if all the "ronbots" left the Republican Party, as you clearly want... then who would you blame when your next beltway RINO in the queue loses in 2016?
He didn't get the hispanics not because he was too liberal but because he didn't give the freebies away and amnesty. Hate to break it to you sunshine, the GOP could have run the most conservative person out there to your liking, but since someone like that won't be for giving out free stuff he/she will of course lose
