The articles about why the GOP lost have been published. While Republicans mistakenly used 2010 voter demographics, Democrats turned out their 2008 voter base. By nominating Romney, a liberal cultist elite bankster gun-grabber, there was no passionate base for Romney. The lack of enthusiasm trickle down to state races.
I think the GOP won a consolation prize of staying in power. The Democrats and Republicans again were able to keep voters away from third parties. They stay in control of the game, and that is a win for the GOP.
If the GOP is to expand their base and win future elections, they should find candidates who don't repel the conservative base and who can attract young voters. A person like Ron Paul is the model of a future winning GOP.

If only Romney had listened to him he might have made some headway on foreign policy.
