Rabbi Pruzansky On Why Obama Won

Romney's business accument and his Mormon values would have served the country much better!!!

The Repubs only chance is to broaden the tent and moderate their policies and some areas concerning minorities or the party is out. How to do this and still maintain some core conservative values is going to be a feat!

crakjak,
The "malfeasance" was a huge part of the loss, which is what is refusing to be discussed, especially by the mainstream media. The GOP can't push the grassroots aside and think they can win without them. The election showed that they cannot.

I'm not discounting some of the good points that the Rabbi has made. But, he is simply quite pessimistic and one-sided and still stuck thinking that Republicans actually stand for something different than the Democrats.

That is where are are now, refusing to continue with the GOP/Rove Establishment not winning with their forced moderates.

Tell them to unite with the Conservatives. They don't seem to want to do that. Ask Justin Amash of Michigan and Tim Huelskamp of Kansas who were booted.

You make the Rabbi's case, the GOP is doomed, and the country will continue the slide to European style socialism. There will have to be compromise on both the Establishment and the Conservatives. I am more conservative, however I would like to keep the demos out, and prolong or stop the slide.

I agree America is ready for a third party. I am sick of both parties we have today.

Duopoly is dangerous, bad for liberty and coming to an end - one way or another. Either you will have tyranny or the States will open the ballots up to more parties, more candidates, more ideas and then we can have real competition. If that happens there is no doubt that you will have more conservative/libertarian parties and the Left will die - they only exist because of parrots and repeaters - they cannot compete in a free market. BRING IT ON!

We have two enemies; the Left and the RNC progressives in the party.

Those of us involved in the ground game weren't battling Democrats during the primary; we were battling Romney people who basically acted just like democrats.

Newt and the rest of them talk about the leftist political machine and ground game... well, we had one and it was owned by the RNC and Romney. They had developed it to get Romney the nomination.

The problem is by the time Romney stole the primary, the whole party was severely split. Plus, they couldn't shift the machine and take on Obama effectively. I have never followed anything on a national basis this closely before.

All the data was there, all the patterns were there; the strategies, the marketing, the social media hacks and infiltrators, etc. They had a machine. The problem was it was used against conservatives and Paul people of which they needed their votes to win with.

And it was used against the third party candidates. We all saw the people shift at the end to attack the idea of voting for a third party candidate.

Here’s the problem - Rove, Romney and the RNC social media machine were only good at attacking and creating doubt and fear. They couldn’t sell a terrible candidate that nobody liked. There are a lot of lessons to be learned from the GOP primary.

And Esther, I hope you are paying attention to how the Rhino/Progressive Republicans are dogpiling Sen. Ted Cruz along with the Left. People need to pay attention to what is going on here. The RNC doesn't want Conservative politicians around any more than do the Democrats.

Here is the awesome response from Ted Cruz regarding his questioning of Hagel.

“I have to admit I find it amusing that those in Washington are puzzled when someone actually does what they said they would do.”

“A lot of media attention has been focused on the attacks leveled on me and I would encourage all of you if you want to write stories on that great, knock yourself out, but I would ask for every ten stories you write, attacking me, perhaps write one story on the substance of Chuck Hagel’s record,"

You go, Ted Cruz!

Why Karl Rove and Stuart Stevens are Plain Wrong

The Romney campaign decision to savage first Governor Perry and then me on immigration destroyed any chance to build a Latino-Asian appeal.

The Romney formula of self-deportation (which must have seemed clever when invented) led to a collapse of acceptability.

Latinos worry about getting health insurance and health care. A Republican candidate who had a better health idea could have had great appeal. A Republican candidate who was merely anti-Obamacare (and therefore seen as anti-healthcare) would lose that contest. But wasn’t it Stevens’ job as chief consultant to design that before the campaign, not to explain its failure afterwards?

Our “Lessons to be Learned” project at Gingrich Productions will begin releasing reports on the scale of change we need in the next few weeks.

We will continue to report throughout the spring and summer.

By this fall we will have online courses on 21st century self government and politics.

The debate over Rove-Stevens versus the new 21st century model may be the most important intra-Republican debate since the emergence of Reagan and Kemp to challenge the old order in the 1970s.

Cruz: Obama's 'lasting legacy' will be creating Republican leaders

"You want to know what happened last election cycle? We didn't win the argument for the American people," Cruz said Thursday night according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"We got clobbered the last time around, but we are continuing to see a new generation of leaders step forward," he said. "In 1980, it took Jimmy Carter to give us Ronald Reagan. And I remain convinced the longest lasting legacy of Barack Obama is going to be a new generation of leaders of the Republican Party who stand for liberty."
