Mitt's massive loss had nothing to do with him having no "ground game", essentially winning the nomination by default (even after having ran for POTUS for 5 years), him and his wife saying stupid, mean-spirited things about nearly half the people in the country and insulting most of the same kind of people on several occasions, believing in "skewed polls" that showed him winning the election despite a multitude of polls (mostly state ones) showing that he was not likely to win it, and trying to politicize a tragedy (Libya), not having any real plans or ideas for what to do if elected POTUS, and basically adopting Tea Party rhetoric for most of the campaign (despite probably not really believing in a lot of it but not having any real choice but to parrot it for the sake of the GOP's knuckledragging cult members).
the only brief *shining* moment for Mitt in the entire general election was his first debate with President Obama though, of course, that really only came about because he showed up and pretended to be somebody more moderate and *sensible* than the current Republican Party lets its nominees. Other than that, it was pretty much a wall-to-wall disaster for his campaign and the GOP in general. Despite all of the breathless pronouncements that the MSM made that the election was Romney's to lose, I NEVER saw it.
