After Mitt Romney’s November 6th defeat at the hands of President Obama, the Republican party has been left in shambles and scattering for answers to account for what went wrong. Pundits across the political spectrum have put forth myriad examples of where the party needs improvement if they wish to remain relevant in future elections.
