You know this is going to be a movie. Or, better, a new season of Newsroom.

I love that the first theory is "We should have talked more about Benghazi and Obamacare then we would have won"

Keep pushing your failed ideology scum suckers - the world has left you behind

but we really should have been talking more about Benghazi and Obamacare

There was a tactic Romney could have done that would have won him the election. He could have linked Obama to Bush's policies and he should have put more distance between his policies and Bush's.

Came here to post that. It's funny that the think that would have got them *more* votes.

Jesus, those folks really don't get it.

Not addressing bengazhi wasn't the problem.

You didn't address the important issues to minorities and women. Worse, you took positions that those demographics OVERWHELMINGLY disapprove of on a whole array of issues.

It's as if these professional political operatives can't even read the exit poll results.

Who's going to play Mitt in the HBO movie?

Romney could have given absolutely no policy specifics and run on uniting Government and he would have won.

George Clooney? You need someone fairly handsome. The Sham-wow guy can play Ryan.

You really think you should have doubled-down on Benghazi? Good luck in 2016.

As long as it continues to be a peaceful transition/retention of power, everything else is trivial.

I'd like to reserve at least a small portion of the blame for "didn't show the tax returns."

"Please proceed, Governor..."

*A minute later*

*Loud laughing*

Good luck with that.

Was...

..Our candidate is a potentially-sociopathic, pathologically-lying, out-of-touch plutocrat and career politician who was only nominated as a compromise between the handful of moderates left in the party grasping for anyone who wouldn't send the undecided/moderate 8% screaming for Obama, and the ethically abhorrent, certifiably insane, religious fanatic assholes that make up the base of our party?

...Our party is being poisoned from within by its base, which are ethically abhorrent, certifiably insane, religious fanatic assholes who serve approximately one purpose, and that is to handily deliver the moderates and undecideds into our opposition's camp each and every election, and to serve as a liberal get-out-the-vote drive by merit of its very existence?

...Our party's ethically abhorrent, certifiably insane, religiously fanatic platform celebtrates nativism and white/male/wealthy privilege, and openly pines for a day in which anyone but rich white men were second-class citizens, and anyone else were actively denied civil rights and liberties as a matter of self-perpetuation?

...And not even our methods and strategies are working out for us any more, and even backfiring. Transposed onto a national platform, the Southern strategy has demonstrated to be naught but a patronizing system of oppression in its own right that is driving turnout against the Republican party, as is vote suppression and disenfranchisement efforts pitching anger and driving turnout.

...on the list? I'm not holding my breath.

He'd have to be CGI to get the full Romney "Uncanny Valley" effect.

How about Brent Spiner?

Movie version of Mitt: barry bostwick or ted danson

FTFA:

...but we really should have been talking more about Benghazi and Obamacare," the adviser tells National Review's Robert Costa. "Those are major issues and Romney rarely mentioned them in the final days."

Yeah. Right. That was your problem.

FTA: "Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and Chris Christie undermined the Republican message."

The 2 unforced errors - I get that. Romney could still have told both that their comments showed a shocking disconnect from their constituents (also a shocking lack of tact, knowledge of science, pluralistic thinking, ability to govern from anything other than Jesus' back pocket...but this is a Republican. The 11th Commandment plus "Jesus elects me, this I know").

But a governor telling everyone that the response and recovery are more important than politics? THAT SHOULD BE THE REPUBLICAN MESSAGE ANYWAY, jackholes.

blacknite: did i miss the thread that had the picture of bottled neoconservative tears?

One does not simply bottle neoconservative tears any more.



Though, the USGS has also issued a warning to would-be hikers, campers, and residents near Bullshiat Mountain:



Bobby Jindal not available for comment.

Philip Francis Queeg: The problem is with their message and brand.

Well, sort of. They tailored their message and brand to catch the southern racists, and it's doing that just fine. The problem is that the southern racists haven't been able to sell racism as effectively to their children in a world with instantaneous global communication. Meanwhile, they grow old and die, and their children aren't quite as motivated to keep the n*****rs at the back of the bus.
