<span style='font-size: 14pt'>Conservatives: Republican Message Irrelevant! Why? </span>
Joe Scarborough lamented the losses of Republicans across the country on Friday, calling the election <span style='font-size: 17pt'>"a devastating defeat" for the party. </span>
Chuck Todd broke down the results of the Senate races on "Morning Joe," and wondered why the Democrats' victories haven't cast more doubt on the leadership of GOP.
"They've catered to the base so much that it's alienated the party away from swing voters," Todd said.
Scarborough agreed. Citing the Senate results, he said, <span style='font-size: 17pt'>"Republicans get hammered in every region and in every ideological wing and it really is, it's just a devastating defeat for the Republican brand." </span>
The show hosted Newsweek's David Frum, who is out with a new e-book called "Why Romney Lost." <span style='font-size: 17pt'>Frum argued that Romney's loss was just a symptom of a larger problem, citing the fact that Republican candidates lost the popular vote in the past six presidential elections. </span><span style='font-size: 17pt'>
"The real story of this election and of the past half dozen is that the Republican message is no longer relevant to middle class America," he said. </span><span style='font-size: 17pt'>The conservative followership have been fleeced, exploited and lied to by the conservative entertainment complex, and there are too many to name.</span>
<span style="color: #990000">See Clip and laugh. With all their acknowledgments that they lost hugely, that their party is irrelevant, was fooled by their own shockjocks, that their message is irrelevent, they are still also failing to fully acknowledge their proven economic policy failures.</span>
