The Week:After Mitt Romney's bruising defeat in the 2012 presidential election, Republicans spent several months looking at what went wrong, and proposed a series of changes to make sure it didn't happen again.
The 97-page report was an extraordinary public acknowledgement of the party's weaknesses. It did not mince words. The report said the GOP was "marginalizing itself," and that without major changes "it will be increasingly difficult for Republicans to win a presidential election in the near future."
Three key groups of voters were highlighted for special attention: Latinos, women, and young people. All were found to be moving away from the party.
If the last few months are any indication, Republicans have done little to pull these voters back into the GOP tent.

It's time to pick up the pieces.

Ignore is the underlying concept of ignorance. Don't you know the old saying: a little learning is a dangerous thing? Well, that's one thing the repiggies do know!
