2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumRomney wins 5 more GOP primaries . . .
. . . while the rest of the world yawns.
WASHINGTON (AP) Mitt Romney laid claim to the fiercely contested Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night with a fistful of primary triumphs and urged all who struggle in a shaky U.S. economy to "hold on a little longer; a better America begins tonight."
Connecticut and Rhode Island fell quickly into Romney's column on the first primary night since Rick Santorum conceded the nomination. Delaware soon followed, dashing Newt Gingrich's hopes of a late comeback.
The vote count was slower in New York and Pennsylvania.
After struggling for months to prevail over unexpectedly persistent rivals, the Republican nominee-in-waiting was eager to turn the political page.

On second thought, I can't. Rachel is playing his entire speech and I simply can't stomach it.

I guess that's right. I just can't take it. I applaud her for being able to.

I have to turn the sound down until Rachel comes back with her commentary.

(17,656 posts)5. I couldn't finish watching her program, either.
I don't know why she does crap like that, play the speech that is full of lies, given by Romney.
I guess she thinks it is important to expose every lie Romney tells.

(17,656 posts)10. Well, I hate to break it to you this way, but . . .
. . . for me, there never was going to be a Presidential race in 2012.
Once I voted for President Obama back in 2008, there was no chance that I wasn't going to vote for him again this year.
So, for me, it has been officially boring since November 4, 2008.

(33,497 posts)8. Of course 33-40% of GOP voters still voted against the 'presumptive nominee'

(15,088 posts)9. Didn't even get 50% in some places
When I watched the county-by-county results go by on the news this morning, I was struck by the fact that in most western PA counties, Mitt was only around 50%. In some counties, he didn't even make that.
