I´ll repeat it here: If Rubio and Jindal are the "Next-Gen GOP" then we need to skip a generation.

I like Rubio, but he´s starting to get on my nerves, and never cared for Jindal at all and wouldn´t vote for him if he was running for dog catcher

Romney please go away awhile and let us lick our wounds. Take orca with you.

The future of the republican party, the conservative movement and this country does not run through Barb Bush´s rolodex.

This is the ideas wing of the party, not the party of connections, prep school ties and well financed Wall Street acquaintances. They grew up on Reagan and Kemp, not the middle of the road free shrimp and merlot country club republicanism of Rockfeller and Bush.
2010 and the T party movement was born out of frustration and disgust not only with Obama, but with the republican party establishment that views middle America as weird, church going rubes who are only there for pandering. No more Bushes, or Bush surrogates, no more Romneys. The ideas articulated by other presidential candidates caught attention, generated discussion and provided meaningful contrast to the Obama administration, even without the help of the media.
The times, they are a changin.

Romney was right. Marco and Bobby are talking to their base now that the 2012 election is over. Why don´t they hone in on all the irregularities of the vote before they start criticizing the Candidate? Romney´s biggest problem was the same as George W. Bush´s problem - he was too nice. I just wish he would have been more aggressive. I really was hoping to have a lovely First Lady - one who really could relate to people.

The GOP is somewhat to blame, too. Mainly Romney´s advisers who also advised McCain really lost the election for us. Schmidt and the woman (can´t remember her name)went by the 2008 playbook instead of making a new one for 2012.

Rubio is not a natural-born citizen, therefore, not qualified for the presidency.

The giveaways sure helped 0bama, but Romney´s campaign was the reason that 0bama won. Well, Romney´s campaign, and some Republican feet in their mouths.

Jindal & Rubio go away ..not Romney...go away Rinos..
...

Voter ID is what lost the election. Public union workers are what lost the elction. Eating our own will lose the next one.

What Romney said was true, PC or not. Why the heck are we concentrating on what he says now anyway? Has he not been excoriated enough? Can the GOP only make itself stronger by attempting to tear down a candidate that the MSM and Democrats already have? Losing strategy and it sickens me.

Romney really tone deaf to the feelings of Republicans right now. Dana Perino actually said it today "Go away Mitt. Enjoy your vacation." Keep mouth closed.

My decision has been made --- 2016 election -- No Tea Party Conservative Party candidate, I will not vote for the first time in my long life.

I´ve had enough of R & D. I´ve defended repubs all my life -- I now feel like a used up whore.

Am now Cleansing myself.

I´ve got a better idea, instead of becoming democrats why don´t we educate the public on liberty, freedom and the free market. Let´s take back our schools, let´s take down the liberal media, let´s take over the Republican party leadership positions at all levels instead of complaining about it being run by the elits.

Jindal is a putZ. Rubio is still an amature.

Geez, the so-called ´next-generation of GOP leaders´ are exactly the same as those already there.

And the beat goes on.. Jindal-Rubio the last great hope of the GOP! I seem to remember those great "conservatives", Colin Powell, Chris Christie and even Scott Brown being mentioned as possible "presidential candidates" by some geniuses in the GOP hierarchy. I agree with OP, #1, #8, and #9.

Romneybots floundering without a rudder. Who to attack now?

Come on, give them a shot. I´m sure they´ll be able to turn Obamaphone Lady into the next Michelle Malkin with their powers of persuasion....oh, and by "reaching out."
