How a Romney Loss Would Impact the GOP

[1-Old-Man]

3. Mitt Romney is not the one who destroyed the Republican Party, nor can he clean it up

It was the Koch Brothers and their initial formation of and complete funding of the Tea Party that was the beginning of the end of the Republican Party. Not even the Evangelicals could do as much damage as the misguided clan of the true flag.

Romney just walked into the mess at a time when there were nothing but nut cases to run against (if you ignore Huntsman, the only fellow on earth with an ego larger than Romney's). It is not in any way a leader of that Party, nor will he ever be. But somewhere down below the rabble there is a conservative bunch of people who are not idiots and not social ideologues either. They will eventually emerge and take that Party back over and that will be a good day for the nation. That day is no where near yet, and it won't happen until the Republicans suffer a stunning defeat, as may happen in November. They are sure to lose the Presidency, they are not likely to take the Senate, and if the Democrats can take the House back - unlikely at best - it very well may be the trigger that brings back an opposition Party, as opposed to the mess we have now.

Just one old man's opinion of course.
