In deliberately ignoring this diversity and embracing nostalgia for a long-gone past, the Republican Party – led astray by its ultra-conservative lunatics – was far more responsible than its decent candidate for the defeat. Romney’s mistake was to align himself for too long with ideas that were too radical for him – and for America.
共和党故意忽略这一多样化，而大谈对过去的乡愁。他们被极端保守的疯子引上了歧路，对于其体面的候选人的败选，共和党要承担多得多的责任。罗姆尼的错误是将自己与对他（以及对美国）来说太过激进的观点捆绑在一起太长时间。
