Why WMR Lost
Former POTUS wannabe Willard Mitt Romney had a conference call with some of the people who gave megabucks to his campaign. “Mitt Romney … and attributed his rival’s victory to “the gifts” the administration had given to blacks, Hispanics and young voters during Obama’s first term. Obama, Romney argued, had been “very generous” to blacks, Hispanics and young voters. He cited as motivating factors to young voters the administration’s plan for partial forgiveness of college loan interest and the extension of health coverage for students on their parents’ insurance plans well into their 20s. Free contraception coverage under Obama’s healthcare plan, he added, gave an extra incentive to college-age women to back the president.”
This is wrong on a number of levels. To begin with, why is he having this call to the people who tried to buy the election for him? This was the problem with the meeting where he made the infamous 47 percent comment. The influence of big money donors is way too great in our elections. Campaign finance reform is long overdue. BHO probably had a similar chat with his backers, but made sure not to say anything quote worthy.
The comment about free contraception is weird. If he is opposed to abortion, then this is one way to cut down on unwanted pregnancies. When it comes to women, the repubs seem to have terminal clumsiness. Of course, having more sexually active women is going to appeal to straight male voters. This can compliment the gifts BHO gave the LGBT population.
PG lives in a red state. His electoral votes were surrendered to WMR early on. Any vote PG made, in the Presidential election, was a protest. In recent years, the only time PG gets to vote on POTUS is the Georgia primary. This year, that meant making a strategic vote for a rival of WMR. It was disgusting, and ultimately WMR won the nomination.
Moving into the November race, PG felt a strong sense that WMR is a jerk. The video at the top of the text is an early indication. After a while, it seems like every time WMR opened his mouth, PG felt anger and disgust.
This has nothing to do with any opinions about BHO. The President has done a few things right, and a few things wrong. He could have done more things right if the repubs in congress had worked with him. BHO is arguably a war criminal. BHO is going to upset people in the next four years. Still, BHO is much more likable than WMR.
A lot of the so called conservative base is going to loudly agree with WMR. There is going to be badmouthing of BHO, and whining about the media. This is the crowd that WMR pandered to during the primaries. They helped him to lose.
