After four years of the Republican propaganda machine at FoxNews and rightwing talk radio proclaiming Obama as the worst President in history, the American people have said that they prefer him to the policies and talking points of Republicans.
How should Republicans respond?
My guess is they will double down on stupid. Obama did not win because he was black. He did not win because he gives free stuff to people. He won because the states are lined up in his favor. You saw it last night, there was only so much Romney could do with the alignment of states.
The Northeast and West are permanently blue. The rust belt is turning that way. That is a major block of electoral votes. Republican policies are tailored to the whims of the bible belt Red States. Ban abortion, block citizenship for illegal aliens, attack gays, attack unions, attack education...blame everything on welfare queens
Unless Republicans can appeal to Hispanics and young women they will lose more states. Florida will turn permanently blue, so will Ohio. States with large hispanic populations (Arizona, Texas) will turn to Battleground States
This will mean Republicans will be unable to win the White House or the Senate. Republicans will become a second tier party
How will they respond?
Double down on dumb
Actually, I do hope that you are wrong. I hope that they will follow the lead of Republicans like Jeb Bush who understand that they need to include more minorities into the party. While that may mean softening some of their positions, it doesn't mean they need to abandon them completely. We need a more conservative fiscally responsible party to keep the more progressive Democratic Party in check, just as we need the more progressive Democratic Party to keep the far right in check. Complete one sided government would not be good for the US, whether it be Republican or Democrat.
George Bush also understood there needed to be a compasionate resolution to our illegal immigration problem. It is just that his party would not buy it. Instead, they substituted punative programs like the Arizona and Alabama immigration bills, they passed English as an official language bills, they attacked spanish heritage. All to pander to their extremist fringe.
The Hispanic population is larger than the extreme rightwing conservative population. Until Republicans learn that is where elections are won...they will continue to lose at the national level
Yeah worst president in history beat the best the Republicans had to offer.
I like Romney, but I dont think he was the best we had to offer
Rick Santorum?
Yeah worst president in history beat the best the Republicans had to offer.
Can you believe it?
The worst president in history, failed at everything he did and a Muslim to boot.
When Republicans said....Wouldn't you rather have us?
America said....Fuck No
Half of them did, anyway. To bad they weren't smart enough to reject Obama as well.
Seems they were smart enough to realize Republicans are a bunch of tools catering to the whims of the rich
You think you won something, Shit for Brains. You are running out of road. We all lost, and that is the truth of it. Great misinformation and smear campaign though. I'm sure Mao and Lenin approve.
Wow.....both Mao AND Lenin
If I had known that, I never would have voted for Obama
Hmmm, I wonder if Mao & Lenin obstructed their governments for 8 years throwing workers out of jobs, and sending factorys to other countrys?
I hear you...
Next thing you know they will be doing payoffs for their donators from Solyndra or
cutting deals with Big Pharma
seems to be working out great for them...

yes we did 'win' something. in spite of the cheating/suppression/alternate/vaginal legislation and anti gay/hispanic/black/women math reality the gop religiously clung to..we won the right to control our bodies and some gay folks can even marry in some states[you guys may want to rethink your aversion to gay marriage as it brought the state of new york 259 million in revenues last year].
and most important of all..'we' won the next supreme court justice pick..maybe 2
oh and the obligatory return playground taunt comin at ya.. um....booger head !!

Take your paranoia medication. Fact of the matter is, the black vote would have been split if it had been two black candidates. If Herman Cain hadn't been a one trick pony, he'd have been a better candidate than "Who is the Real..." Mitt Romney.

Hermann Cain is not fit to run a Pizza stand let alone a country
IT WASN'T JUST ROMNEY -- THEY ALL CREATED THEIR OWN REALITY
To judge from this New York Times article, it wasn't just the Romney campaign that believed victory was inevitable -- Boehner and (apparently) some of his troops did, too:
On a conference call with House Republicans a day after the party's electoral battering last week, Speaker John A. Boehner dished out some bitter medicine, and for the first time in the 112th Congress, most members took their dose.
Their party lost, badly, Mr. Boehner said, and while Republicans would still control the House and would continue to staunchly oppose tax rate increases as Congress grapples with the impending fiscal battle, they had to avoid the nasty showdowns that marked so much of the last two years.
Members on the call, subdued and dark, murmured words of support -- even a few who had been a thorn in the speaker's side for much of this Congress....
Aides say this is an altered political landscape that Mr. Boehner did not expect....
Some Republican members appear ready to accede.
"The election was a wake-up call," said one veteran Republican in the House. For many members, "everyone they knew hated Obama. Everyone they knew agreed exactly with them. And then we lost." ...
