TRUMP NUMBERS SHOW HOW GOP WENT WRONG ON IMMIGRATION. The Republican Party had something of a nervous breakdown after the 2012 election, when GOP challenger Mitt Romney lost to incumbent President Barack Obama. Some Republicans had convinced themselves that the multitude of polls showing Obama ahead were “skewed.” Many actually expected a Romney victory. When that didn’t happen, they looked for reasons.

They could have looked at Obama’s job approval rating, 52% in Gallup on Election Day, or the power of incumbency that Obama used to its fullest extent. Instead, Republicans focused on the Hispanic vote. Romney lost it big time, winning just 27% of Latino voters to Obama’s 71%. GOP strategists were deeply affected by Democrats’ predictions that Hispanic Americans, the only voting group actually growing by significant amounts, would give the Democratic Party a lock on the presidency in the future. So after Romney’s defeat, they set themselves to the task of winning more Latino voters.

The Republican National Committee did a study of Romney’s defeat. The resulting report was called the Growth and Opportunity Project — G-O-P, right? — but was universally known as the autopsy. Going in, Republican officials said the autopsy would not make recommendations on policy but rather explore GOP deficiencies in things like voter contact, outreach, turnout, advertising, and the like. Then they decided to make one exception to the no-policy rule.

What most people forget is that Romney didn't lose by much. He only needed to flip 2 or 3 states to win, and some of those he didn't lose by much. How much cheating was there? Dunno but you know the Rats will if they can.

And Zero also lost the mid-terms with a GOP Congressional and State landslide. The main problem there was the GOP leadership that was picked by the people we voted for. Except for a number of states that solidified good leadership and more or less kept the Zero admin afloat.

2.) Mitt Romney put his dog on the roof of a car.
3.) Mitt Romney was a co-founder of Bain Capital, a pirate equity company that put many people out of work to make money for themselves.
4.) Mitt Romney created Romneycare (Obamacare beta) and then ran against it.
5.) Mitt Romney called 47% of the American people deadbeats, including disabled veterans who receive assistance from the Federal Government.

Mitt Romney was a privileged rich pr*ck who was not personable and could not connect with voters.

He wasn't very likable..

But more likable than his opponent, imo.

Why doesn't Trump and the rest of the GOP just tell the dims and the MSM that the bill's  institutionalied 5K daily approved crossing would set dangerous precedent, and in essence would allow 1.5M in annually (legally).

Shit, is it that hard to explain?

"the bill's  institutionalied 5K daily approved crossing would set dangerous precedent"

The "daily approved crossing" should be:
ZERO.

What we really need is a "daily approved deportation minimum" ...

ZERO.

What we really need is a "daily approved deportation minimum" ...

A "daily approved required deportation minimum".
