WASHINGTON, DC (NEWS1130) – The dust has barely settled in the US election and some are already looking at 2016.
The navel-gazing is in full-swing south of the line. Luiza Savage with Maclean’s Magazine says some Republicans are still wondering why the party even put Mitt Romney forward as its candidate and want to make changes.
“There’s one wing of the party that says we need to go with these younger, movement conservatives like Paul Ryan.” she explains.
But she says others in the GOP aren’t so sure. “The other side is ‘no we need to go with more moderates who can win the political centre.'”
Savage believes the Republicans were hurt by some of those controversial comments about abortion and rape from a few hard-line conservatives.
