In response to:
DISAGREE!!!
Majority of USA is pro-abortion? Where did you get this idea?
If you want a candidate who knows the difference between right or wrong, then you want a candidate who is against abortion.
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.
Easy...
Of course Progressive means pushing progress towards total government control and a socialist economy, and Liberal means allowing unlimited bureaucracy. But, hey, they change the words. It's like Gay used to mean (Prior to 1975) light hearted and happy. Now, it just means perverted sexually.
