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

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.
