You'd think the GOP would've gotten a clue after Harry Reid's decisive win in 2010. But no. Seems they were the only ones who didn't know they had a fatal minority math problem. The result? A 2012 election night that literally left them "shell-shocked."
More than a week later, and Republicans are still going through the Five Stages of Grief. I've only seen Denial, Anger and Depression from them. I suppose Bargaining is unthinkable, and if there's any Acceptance it's drowned in bitterness. The situation is so bad folks are mocking themallovertheinternet. (Check out this interview with Jenny Feinberg, the creator of the White People Mourning Romney Tumbler page.)
So what's a "shell-shocked" party to do in the face of crushing defeat? Well, when it's the Republican Party, there's no soul searching required. Why go navel-gazing when you're convinced the problem lies with the shiftless moochers who didn't vote for you?
