Why does it matter he did so poorly in Colorado because of Hispanics?
He lost because he was an elitist who actually managed to make Appalachian Ohio counties SWING to Obama. He could have won like say 65% of Hispanics in 2012 and still lost the election.
Well, in that specific case he probably would have won California and thus the election, XD...but yeah, Romney could have had the Bush numbers with Hispanics and would have almost certainly lost the election even in that case...with Hispanics on his side in those '04 numbers he could have won Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and Virginia, and probably the PV, only for losing 273-265 in the EC...Obama coalition was really impressive...the Dem mistake in 2016 was assuming that it was THEIR and not HIS coalition, in my opinion.
