What Happened To The GOP in 2012

Mitt Romney appeared to early on have wrapped up the nomination by the state of the union at the latest. Rick Santorum and Gingrich attacked softened him up especially on Bain capital and made him an easier target in the fall. Also, april, 2012, the economy was stuck at 9% and the gop had the advantage. But the unemployment fell below 8% and picked up steam and it was a personal campaign between obama and romney in which obama won.  As for the senate, the abortion debate got the best of the gop there.

GOP is an oil and gas party and the economc collapse is fresh in memories. We are becoming less dep on fossil fuels and self reliant on energy. Soon, by 2020 we will have green energy like solar wind panels. 2016 will be fought on minimum wage and on green energy.

Obama was picked again not because he was the best candidate but he was the safest candidate. People still don't like what he did on Wallstreet and tax reform package that tilted too much for the capital gains tax, but voters felt comfortable with him. Scared to put a Bain banker back in power. When economy wasn't benefitting GOP, the same mistake they are gonna make in 14 and 16 gonna rely on HCR to get elected.
