I think the GOP cold have won with a better candidate. Now and in 2008.

And let us guess the name of that "better candidate"...at this point, I'm no longer downing your guy, who knows exactly what would have happened if he had gotten the nomination...but I just don't think anyone who wasn't willing to promise "free stuff" to those who won't work to get it could have won that election. Your guy wouldn't have promised "free stuff".

BHO promised "free stuff", he won.

Santa Claus is a tough opponent.

It's like 2008 all over again. Even though their guy lost by like 20% of the electoral votes to somebody who a dead dog should have been able to beat, the Romneylans will never admit their appeasement helped Obama get reelected. If the GOP won't admit they have a problem and start a 12 step program to get clean, I predict Hillary or Biden as our next POTUS.

I started moving my financial assets overseas last week and got out of my Apple stock just in time. Good luck y'all.

I pray for gridlock. The less the federal government does, the less damage it causes.

I'll say it again. Romney was doomed as a candidate. How exactly was he going to make his case for a bold change in direction? Let's review some notes. Despite all of his conservative rhetoric, his record was clear... and the record shows he's not significantly different than the President.
Let's see. Wanted to repeal ObamaCare, and replace it w/ something like RomneyCare, which was the government mandate model for ObamaCare. He would have kept "abortion safe and legal". He "absolutely" would have signed the NDAA which allows indefinite detention of American citizens without a trial (in direct violation of the 6th Amendment). He supported Tarp, the bank bailouts, and the debt ceiling increases. His fiscal plan would not balance the budget, much less reduce our national debt. And my personal favorite; when the Clinton "Assault Weapons Ban" was expiring, he advocated, lobbied for, and signed a more restrictive ban to replace it in MA.

Ultimately, 99% percent of voters voted for a Socialist candidate. The slight majority just happened to select the one who will admit those are his positions. Without a substantively different candidate, the Republican Party never had a chance.

Those who forgot 2008 were doomed to repeat it in 2012.

Maybe they will learn by 2016 if it's not too late.

He wins Profile in Courage Award from Kennedy Center for his vote for impeachment against his party and Trump.

Harry also had courage to go on Oprah and dis his family.
Time will tell if either of these decisions was smart.

What a horrific slandering of JFK's legacy. Willard could wipe off Jack's shoes.

He is loudly booed at Utah Republican Convention. Censure fails.

Mitt said

I’m a man who says what he means, and you know I was not a fan of our last president’s character issues.

But he is a fan of a man who at best has dementia and at worse is a bald faced liar?
He is a fan of a man who is ignoring our laws and governing by diktat?
He is a fan of a man who is taking credit for everything his predecessor did?

I mean, I have to assume Mitt is a fan because he hasn't said anything against Joe and he claims to say what he means.

I am not sure why they invited that democrat to begin with.

The measure to censure failed by a vote of 798-711.

In a bid to be the Democratic nominee for President in 2024 or Harris’s Vice President soon, Willard Romney blames Trump and Biden for Afghanistan.

He did say something smart “ removing the troops is not the same thing as ending the war”
