Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus released the Republican Party’s official establishment autopsy of the 2012 election this morning and the conclusions will be highly controversial.
The autopsy begins by noting that while Republicans won five of six presidential campaigns between 1968 and 1988, it lost the popular vote five out of the next six. The Priebus report concludes that this is because of a widely held perception that “the GOP does not care about people.” To counteract this perception the Priebus report recommends, “We are not a policy committee, but among the steps Republicans take in the Hispanic community and beyond, we must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform.”
