It's uncanny how the Republicans basically went the opposite of all of the big takeaways of their 2012 post-mortem.
Pass immigration reform? Nah, we'll have the most hard-line anti-immigrant platform in a half-century.
Listen to minorities? How about minorities listen to us about how awful their lives and communities are.
Accepting gays? We'll ignore this at the federal level while our states pass regressive anti-gay platforms (including our VP candidate).
Try and get past the echo chamber the right suffers from? Even Fox is MSM now, we'll go with Breitbart and other conspiracy theory websites.
Stop the perception that we're all a bunch of rich guys? How about we nominate a presidential candidate who literally cannot stop talking about how rich he is.
