Romney should've been the nominee in 2008, but the Republican consensus was a Mormon is too radical, and Americans will only elect white, Protestant men. Then Obama won, so they relented and nominated Romney, whose loss cemented in their brains "Old, Protestant white men ONLY!!"

In the end, they DID treat 2012 as a lesson. Problem is, the lesson learned was "Since we will be voted out of ofiices by the country's changing demographics if our platform stays the same, we must deny our opponents the power to vote so we can preserve our platform"
