A down home dot dobbs -- -- says Republicans should stop calling each other out of touch and focus on how the vice president is out of tune.

KB the everybody wants some Republicans including Republicans that appeared to be.

Already thrown their hat into the ring for 2016 there out there and they're saying -- Republicans need to change.

Trial first the wallets get a little break from the 2016 -- think we're all just getting over the last election.

But you know yeah Republicans are doing what -- generally parties always do when they lose an election they tried to be the one whose rights.

And that the leader who's gonna move people into the next election especially if you know they have -- a different party in the office of White House.

But above mean there's there is it makes sense after action report of some kind after you are in them fan or and I kind of programmer -- you always look and say.

What could we have done better.

Are they going beyond that.

I think that I think they are going -- I think there's a difference between publicly calling each other out and throwing each other under the bus.

And actually having behind closed doors meetings about what LaMont -- wrong with the party.

And who they really should be putting up for 2016 I think that in the immediate aftermath you know.

It's it's hasn't been that long since -- election I think Republicans -- take a step back really take in what actually happened.

And then talk behind closed doors but what they can do better next time menace as far as Joseph Biden's comments you know.

-- ahead if they're Republican -- said what you said about the homeboy continuity painted as racist immediately yeah and so but you know they're bigger fish to -- I think Republicans especially in the states.

Could be helping with fiscal cliff.

And some of the the attitude there and how that will affect their states and may be pressing John Boehner to do the right thing for them because the states are the ones who really have to bear the burden of what the federal government does well.

What what do you think what's wrong with the election.

You know and so many things -- think that Mitt Romney -- Big opportunity with the youth vote they should've done a couple of college tour is especially with the business.

Schools because there's a lot of Republican type thinking students and business schools across the country -- that but they're not political.

I think that the Romney campaign hasn't made a human contact with voters that Republicans haven't really been that greed -- in the past thirty years.

And I think President Obama just had a better get out the vote effort than the Republicans said and I think that we've seen that in the days since the election at their their technology failed.

I think -- it hit the nail on that last point.

That is the Obama campaign had 200000.

People.

On get out the vote the Romney campaign had 20000 right just 10% when it makes a difference they thought Republicans were energized.

-- -- the other can't energize must -- you're out there talking to them face to face about not only who the candidate is and and asking them for their vote.

For talking about why this candidate will be better for you.

I it's one thing for people to vote against Barack Obama but it's another for them to really be energizing get out to vote for me.

Around well get the other problem with all this Katie is is that if I have a message and I'm trying to sell it to people.

Debts they may not by my message and I can have the best get out the vote effort.

Possible and they still won't go out and vote for me if I have the wrong message but if I do have the right message I got -- at least have the ground game -- Otherwise the message.

-- yeah I think that was really a huge part of of why the Romney campaign failed.

I think that Republicans in general.

Don't understand that -- it takes that human contact and there have been some conservative groups have done a great job you know -- -- I was just here with Americans for prosperity.

They tried their best to get out the vote but the Romney campaign really didn't understand that human to human contact you have to make for people do want to vote for -- There there's a there's a -- of -- you know Peter politically -- -- I had not heard of this anywhere in the campaign was is or cut.

And the -- go with some sort of new super duper high tech thing that -- I would get a note of who voted in who hadn't -- -- run over the person's outcome hadn't voted the whole thing.

It was a miserable failure trying to work nobody could access it.

Right they were relying on people to take it upon themselves are trying to their neighbor about when really they needed just like the Obama campaign at least 200000 people person -- person going to order door.

-- talking about why Mitt Romney with a better choice in -- failed at doing -- -- that was nice to see you -- to see -- thanks thanks so much you -- Well here's the the good news Republicans are trying to stop your taxes from climbing.
