Haha Milwaukee hasn't even came in yet...

Some states do, but the same candidate typically wins all the EV in a state.tk421;1314624 wrote:Yeah, the system needs to change.

Todd Akin now on tv doing his concession speech. Social Conservatism taking a hit tonight
A warmonger, police state Republican will never again win a national election.pmoney25;1314645 wrote:So where do the Republicans go from here? They have to find a way to attract more of the youth vote and more of the minority vote.

I agree and that is a good thing. Hopefully the Neo Con/Establishment group will fade away in obscurity now.Cleveland Buck;1314649 wrote:A warmonger, police state Republican will never again win a national election.
In exit polls a large majority, I think around 60% believed the government does too much and wanted smaller government. Many of them voted for Obama.gut;1314650 wrote:Social conservatism has been dying a slow death.
This election is about socialism and govt dependence. People want to be like Europe. I really think everything else is noise - the changing demographics are such that they think the European model works. How do you combat that with the media and our universities mostly in the bag for it? You can't, we will have to go down that path and fail for ourselves.
I agree, only when we fall we'll fall a lot harder. Young people have been conditioned to rely on the government, they don't see anything wrong with Big Brother taking care of them. I really am not going to enjoy the coming years.gut;1314650 wrote:Social conservatism has been dying a slow death.

wanting smaller government and voting for Democrats is like a gun owner voting for Democrats. It just doesn't compute.Cleveland Buck;1314654 wrote:In exit polls a large majority, I think around 60% believed the government does too much and wanted smaller government. Many of them voted for Obama.
Unfortunately I think you are right. I do think that we either had to take the road of choosing to take the hard road or be forced into failure. Obviously you know over our discussions I did not like either candidate but I think we agree that we are definitely going to take a big hit soon and people are going to be in for a rude awakening.gut;1314650 wrote:Social conservatism has been dying a slow death.

It's Rubio in 2016. No one else has a chance.pmoney25;1314645 wrote:So where do the Republicans go from here? They have to find a way to attract more of the youth vote and more of the minority vote.
it's because Mitt Romney is Barrack Obama, he's just more black (bigger family - h/t Chris Rock). If you want small gov't but have two big gov't candidates, why not go for the one who is at least socially accepting of all people (Obama)? If the Rs would have nominated an actual small gov't candidate, maybe things would have been differentCleveland Buck;1314654 wrote:In exit polls a large majority, I think around 60% believed the government does too much and wanted smaller government.

That's what happens when you run fucking Mitt Romney. People were saying back in the primaries that the lineup of turds the R's had was going to kill them regardless of nominee.tk421;1314658 wrote:wanting smaller government and voting for Democrats is like a gun owner voting for Democrats.
