(CNN) – Mitt Romney told donors on a call Wednesday that President Barack
Obama outmatched him by offering "gifts" to African-Americans, Hispanics and
young voters, according to various news outlets.
The former Republican nominee also made similar arguments on another call
earlier in the day, CNN confirmed.
"What the president, president's campaign did was focus on certain members
of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the
government. And then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote,"
Romney said in the afternoon call, according to audio aired on ABC News.
The 2012 Republican nominee, who lost to Obama by 126 electoral votes, said
the president courted voters by offering policies–some of them this
election year–that appealed to key constituencies in the Democratic base.
"With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college
loan interest, was a big gift," Romney said, according to The New York Times.
"Free contraceptives were very big with young college-aged women," he
continued. "And then, finally, Obamacare also made a difference for them,
because as you know, anybody now 26 years of age and younger was now going
to be part of their parents' plan, and that was a big gift to young people.
They turned out in large numbers, a larger share in this election even than
in 2008."
The president's health care reform plan, he added, also turned out support
from African Americans and Hispanic voters.
"You can imagine for somebody making $25,000 or $30,000 or $35,000 a year,
being told you're now going to get free health care, particularly if you don
't have it, getting free health care worth, what, $10,000 per family, in
perpetuity, I mean, this is huge," he said. "Likewise with Hispanic voters,
free healthcare was a big plus. But in addition with regards to Hispanic
voters, the amnesty for children of illegals, the so-called Dream Act kids,
was a huge plus for that voting group."
A spokesperson for Romney, who has stayed away from the public spotlight
since losing the election last week, did not return a request for comment
about the call.
Romney had another call Wednesday morning with a couple dozen people who
were part of the financial leadership of his campaign, but he did not make
the same “gifts” comment.
The former nominee did say on that call that he really respected how the
Obama administration was able to “craft” specific policies that ended up
attracting the support of key demographic groups. He mentioned contraceptive
coverage as well as student loan policies that were important for young
adults, according to one participant on the call.
He said he was sorry and disappointed that he lost but added his team had
put everything it could into the election.
“We didn’t leave anything on the field,” one donor on the call told CNN.
He talked about how turnout was a lot lower this year, mentioning how the
president got fewer votes than he did four years ago and that he got less
than the 2008 Republican nominee, John McCain, received.
Romney told the donors he wanted to stay involved in public policy in some
form but did not provide any details.
Romney's remarks come after top Republicans in recent days have pushed for a
bigger tent party, saying the GOP learned this election that it has work to
do in terms of demographic changes.
"We've got to be a lot more inclusive and open and energetic and wanting
people to join our team by expressing why these conservative values are good
for people of all races, creeds, colors, and national origin," Virginia Gov
. Bob McDonnell, previously a top surrogate for Romney, said last week on
CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront." "We've just got to do a better job with that."
In the presidential race, Obama won 93% of African American vote, 71% of the
Latino vote and 60% of those between the ages of 18 and 29. Romney,
meanwhile, took 59% of the white voting bloc, according to CNN exit polls.
On the Democratic side, women and minorities made historic gains this
election. For the first time, women and minorities will outnumber male
Democrats in the House of Representatives. The U.S. Senate will also have a
record number of women-20-when the 113th Congress convenes in January.
Romney, on the 20-minute call, said he was "disappointed" with the final
election tally and "hadn't anticipated it." Looking ahead, Romney said the
party is "still so troubled by the past (that) it's hard to put together our
plans for the future," according to the Los Angeles Times.
Speaking to the donors, Romney praised them for their success in fundraising
and suggested they help with "perhaps the selection of a future nominee –
which, by the way, will not be me."
The campaign's finance chairman, Spencer Zwick, said on the call that Romney
's team had raised more than $900 million; Romney added he had not expected
to take in more than $500 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. | s********t 发帖数: 4150 | 2 What he said was the truth. Obama bribed his way into the White House. I

It was really brave for Romney to speak out the truth that many people
believe but are unable or don't dare to say.
It was a shame that O8 was able to bribe his way into the White House at the
cost of the entire country's living standard and by abusing the election
system.

| b*******h 发帖数: 2585 | 9 there is some truth in it. Obama used 6T deficit to bribe people to get just
51% of the vote.
On the other hand, Romney was just trying to bribe the nation with his lies,
and failed. | G***G 发帖数: 16778 | 10 what does the last sentence mean?
what is its subject and verb?
"To go after the president's vote on the basis of we protected more young
people from catastrophic health care costs, that we wanted to make sure
people have access to birth control and those kind of things, I think is
going to strike the American people as kind of very off-kilter,"
