Ok, I said be specific. You weren't specific.
Leadership, Good ideas, a decent campaign, and a candidate worth voting for aren't specific enough for you? Its now MY responsibility to spoon feed YOU the exact policy positions, the qualities of a good candidate, how to run your own campaigns?
Christ, you can't even take responsibility for your own conceptions of leadership. Let alone the outcomes of your own campaigns. I don't think 'personal responsibility means what you think it means.
I get it....you're helpless victims. You can't be held responsible for your own campaigns, your own choices, your own candidates. You are merely leaves on the water the water incapable of affecting their own destiny or the outcome of the election.
But why would I want to vote for someone like that?
Try again. By all means, if you're going to say someone lost because of them, you need to come up with the reasons why. So go ahead. Try again.
The GOP ran a candidate people didn't care for who had lousy ideas. Mitt Romney's solution for the healthcare crisis?
Emergency rooms.
That's what you call policy? Really? The campaign was poorly executed, Romney essentially insulted half the electorate with his moronic '47% speech....which he gave in secret, mind you. The GOP did a lousy job appealing to the minority voter, instead doubling down on angry white guys. And there weren't enough of them.
The GOP didn't inspire. They didn't present leadership. They didn't have anything but their typical 'tax cuts for the rich, program cuts for the poor' mantra. They had no policy solutions for global warming, denying as a party that it even existed. Their solution for the immigration crisis was....nothing. 'Self Deportation'. The maintainance of the status quo.
From top to bottom.....the GOP didn't earn the votes they needed. And still they blame the voters.
Specific enough for you?
You may want to read your own source. As you're casting yourself as helpless victims who can't get a break.
I wasn't aware that helplessness was an attribute of personal responsibility.
