The candidate of the Republicans in the just-concluded presidential election in the United States, Mr. Mitt Romney, said on a conference call with donors yesterday that President Obama won the 2012 presidential campaign because of "gifts" given by the administration to black, Hispanic and young voters.
"The President’s campaign focused on giving targeted groups a big gift, so he made a big effort on small things. Those small things, by the way, add up to trillions of dollars.” Romney said.
Romney said moves like the president's healthcare reform legislation and a decision to suspend deportations of certain illegal immigrants who came to the country as children proved "highly motivational" on Election Day. Romney also said he had "gotten beat up pretty bad" on issues including his immigration stance and personal wealth.
“I am very sorry that we didn’t win,” Romney told the donors. “I know that you expected to win. We expected to win. It was very close, but close doesn’t count in this business.”
