These are days of hindsight and second-guessing for Republicans, which is human nature after a trauma like this election loss.
There are million “why” theories out there, from the Hurricane Sandy effect to pernicious media bias. Wringing our hands over those factors gets us nowhere.
We can’t stop hurricanes, and media bias is always there. Reagan and Bush 43 won twice against waves of poisonous bias, so that is not an insurmountable obstacle.
What Republicans need is a slate of candidates that can energize the base while expanding the appeal of a conservative message.

The only party that still espouses racism is that of the democrats - the only reason Robert Byrd, the lifelong KKK member and democrat senator, is no longer in office is because he's dead! Racism is what happens when blacks vote for a man because of the color of his skin.
