Dear Clueless GOPers who still can't figure out how Mitt Romney could have lost

Really?

You're still in shock.

You really thought this candidate you put forth as your best chance to defeat Barack Obama was the answer to your prayers.

It's about time you folks take your collective heads and finally pull them out of your collective asses.

Here's the scoop - MITT ROMNEY WAS NEVER EVEN CLOSE TO WINNING

He was a poor candidate.

He alienated everyone but wealthy white landowners and fetuses. Last time I checked fetuses can't vote.

Faux News thought if they just said "There's no place like a GOP victory" and click their heels 3 times that somehow that would magically make Mitt Romney likable by the voting population.

And that was a huge problem - Liberals didn't like or trust Mitt Romney and your rightwing tea partiers weren't that keen on the guy either. Doesn't matter if you can convince billionaires to invest in your candidate - if he sucks then he isn't going to win.

came off as non-human much of the time. I mean, talk about imitating what humans do, Mitt didn't seem to know how to. Mitt was stiff as a board, and awkward as hell when trying to schmooze with the people. He was as phony as a 3 dollar bill on top of that. Yet, despite all this, 58 million of my fellow Amurikans voted for him. Welcome to Amurika.

No one would ever suspect he was real.

Well said, and no one would blink an eye as they took photos of themselves next to what they thought was a wax figure.

5. Lynne honey, the GOP didn't HAVE any viable candidates. It was a clown car.

Face it. None of them could have won. I still can't figure out why the billionaires threw all of that money away. They would have done just as well to burn it - at least that would let them roast hot dogs.

They stopped listening to her though when she suggested that the Republic party embrace the LGBTQ community but like a broken clock, she was right on this issue.
