Nearly two weeks after the presidential election, Mitt Romney seems to have disappeared — and it's all a part of the new GOP strategy, pundits are claiming.
Romney, a candidate who did not have deep roots within the traditional Republican party to begin with and whose inner circle consisted largely of people who were loyal to him, not to the party, has been easy to wipe away because he gained popularity within the GOP by focusing on his electability, according to BuzzFeed. Now that he hasn't been elected, the party is able to focus on other things.
The last straw, some say, was Romney's post-election remark that Pres. Barack Obama had bought the votes of young people and minorities with "gifts."
"You don't start to like people by insulting them and saying their votes were bought. We are an aspirational party," said Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, according to the Associated Press.
