Axe Gary Johnson and Romney wins the popular vote.
Institute Voter ID laws ( which were already declared Constitutional) and Romney makes the race much closer-- even possibly wins.
Put forth a Conservative candidate that stands on principle and articulates conservative values ( The constitution, individual liberty, economic freedom, lower taxes, smaller government) without being a spineless pussy who panders to every special interest group= Landslide Victory for GOP.
It disheartens the silent majority ( who, despite what you're hearing on television and reading in print is still comprised of working class whites) to see the GOP force-feed another "moderate", "bipartisan", "compassionate" RINO to the national stage. As this candidate bends to the will of the leftist press, cowers in the face of difficult decisions through capitulation to the special interest group most calculated to win over the imaginary 5% of independents who allegedly decide the outcome of every election (nonsense) and parrot the same talking points with the same false narratives on the same fraudulent terms as the leftist animals seeking to destroy the American way of life-- one thing becomes abundantly clear.
The GOP has been campaigning not to lose instead of campaigning to win since Reagan left office. Bush 41 beat Dukakis because Dukakis was and is an utterly unlikable and unimpressive politician with nothing of style or substance to convince mainstream America that it was headed in the wrong direction. Bush 41 then went on to bend, break and whimper to the Democratic party during his only term and make an ass out of himself in the process. Dole was a great american, but a pathetic presidential candidate and Perot largely sunk the GOP during the election that brought us Clinton 1. Al Gore was an absolute joke--which doesn't discount the fact he almost beat GW. GW won his second term because the only human being less likable than GW is John Kerry. McCain ran an awful campaign, refused to challenge Obama on any of the tough issues and was way too accommodating so as to appear "attractive" to independents.
Is it any wonder that all the losers from McCains campaign also worked for Romney?
What do the Bush's, Dole, McCain and Romney have in common= They all wanted to cross party lines and pander. They wanted to be all things to all people. They refused to attack the Democrats with any real ferocity. Clearly, the Democrats wanted it more each and every time. While the Democrats played to win, the GOP walked on egg shells not to offend. While the Democrats distracted the country with dung about Big Bird, Binders and birth control, the GOP found itself dancing to the tune of the MSM. Explaining why, demonstrating why, trying to appear measured. Compassionate conservatism, refusing to attack Obamas character while Obamas entire campaign was spent making up lies about Romney. As usual, the GOP spent the overwhelming majority of the campaign playing defense. When you play not to lose-- you always lose.
This campaign was lost on three big lies that were repeated often enough to fool stupid, misinformed and brainwashed people into voting for Obama; (1) GM is alive and Romney wanted to destroy it.
(2) Bin Laden is dead and therefore America has nothing to fear because Obama has a great foreign policy.
(3) Romney hates women, immigrants, minorities, gays and the middle class.
All of the above lies are easily disproved by anyone with the intellectual capacity of a 6 year old and a slight bit of curiosity. But instead of going on the attack and flipping everything around, Romney explained... explained... explained... and explained....
Notice how the economy isn't included on that list. No need to lie about that; everyone is too busy being distracted by abject stupidity. Gay marriage, contraception, big bird and binders. The essence of the American electorate.
Changing demographics? I don't buy it. The people who make this country function did not turn out to the polls. While the "givers and producers" were given a contrast between two drastically different visions of America, the candidates representing the respective visions were all too similar. In many respects Obama and Romney seemed virtually indistinguishable; It is demoralizing to choose between a proven failure and a wimp who bends over backwards to sound like the proven failure because it will make him more "likable". Might as well stay home.
