The GOP didn't realize that White Men are declining as a share of the electorate and population.
There we go again with the left playing the race card. Even if Republicans reach out to minorities, they're still going to be called racists by the media and left.
Putting up the race card? An abnormally large share of the Republican vote was from white men. The white male vote was about 36% of the total vote, they voted for the Republican party by a margin of 70-30, which means it gave Mitt Romney 25.2% of the 47.1% of the vote he received. That means 53.5% of all Mitt Romney voters were white men. Also, no one will call them racists unless the candidates utter racial slurs, derogative terms, or tries to pass discriminating laws against people of color.
