they also realize in the near to mid term, the next four to eight years, even as gay marriage becomes the law of the land across the country, you know, you still have a social conservative base, a religious base of the republican party, that you can t just cast off. the republican party will never win another national election if you tell 20 million, 30 million evangelicals sorry we don t care about your policies or agenda at all. they have to square some circles then. look at exit polling among gay, lesbian and bye sexual voters, barack obama won 70%, compared to mitt romney with 22%. surprised it was that low, actually. surprised there was anybody that voted for mitt romney. that s the point. that s an issue where there s going to have to be some substantive change and soon. what was interesting about the day after in the two-day after commentaries by every person on the right i read they all immediately including the wall street journal, rupert murdoch were saying we v
didn t take pleasure in it. they did. that s the disipg. the distinction. so the storm got him in? i think sandy was a factor. there was polling that shows that people said the storm affected the way they voted. what do you mean the way they voted? there was exit polling that showed people thought sandy was a key issue for them. the way the issue was handled it was like 15%. this is a perm house that was destroyed and personal property. they feel like this dude cares more about me. it could have been both ways. why do we want a government that cares about you? now it is like, love me, care about me. jimmy, that s an excellent question. you want them to come and bring some of my money back. i want my money. that s what they are there for. my point is that you can state the fact that it had an i will pact, but you don t take pleasure in it and don t
bill: it worked to some extent. i don t think look, i think the single women vote would have gone for barack obama no matter what mitt romney did or anybody like mitt romney. you have got to go into the hispanic precincts there you can make some inroads. because that s more of a traditional community. let me ask you this. if the numbers say and they did at the exit polling yesterday that 35% of americans call themselves conservative, how can the conservative wing of the republic party believe that just with that base they can win? the numbers just aren t there. it s a very troubling and unfortunately a very good question. the numbers are not there. and that s why they have to look, all i m saying is that they have to figure out a way. i don t have the way right now. not tonight. they have to figure out a way to get to those latinos. to get to those women. to get to those young people and explain to them that an entitlement society, which is
a war on women and it worked. bill: it worked to some extent. i don t think look, i think the single women vote would have gone for barack obama no matter what mitt romney did or anybody like mitt romney. you have got to go into the hispanic precincts there you can make some inroads. because that s more of a traditional community. let me ask you this. if the numbers say and they did at the exit polling yesterday that 35% of americans call themselves conservative, how can the conservative wing of the republic party believe that just with that base they can win? the numbers just aren t there. it s a very troubling and unfortunately a very good question. the numbers are not there. and that s why they have to look, all i m saying is that they have to figure out a way. i don t have the way right now. not tonight. they have to figure out a way to get to those latinos. to get to those women. to get to those young people and explain to them that an
voters overwhelmingly disagreed with those extreme positions, of the president and the democratic party. moving forward, the republican party and its candidates must expose and exploit those vulnerabilities. see, if you ask the anti-abortion activists, the only reason republicans lost this year, the only reason mitt romney is not president-elect right now, is because he was not anti-abortion enough. the group says, in its own internal polling of likely swing voters, that polling proves that the reason republicans did so poorly, is because republicans this year were not anti-abortion enough. which is funny, because actual exit polling from the actual election yesterday, shows that 59% of voters think that abortion should be legal in this country, which is the position of president obama and the majority of democratic candidates. and that is a 23-point advantage over the number of voters who think abortion should be illegal, which is the position of mitt romney and most republican cand
