Yesterday’s primary election and caucus results are consistent with polling showing that Republican voters are increasingly unhappy with their choices for their party’s nominee. In Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri, not only did Mitt Romney lose, only a fraction of voters from the last time showed up for him. In Colorado, Romney got half the votes he did in 2008. In Minnesota, a third. Same in Missouri. The more voters get to know Romney, the less they trust him to run the country. Here’s how to talk about it

Regular voters are on to Mitt Romney and what he stands for — and they’re not buying it.

• If corporations really were people and could vote, Romney would be fine. But if it comes to facing millions of middle-class voters who work for a living, he’s in trouble.
• We can keep our economy going, but we need leaders who want to fight for all of us — not just the wealthiest 1%.

Killer Facts:

• In the GOP primaries, Mitt Romney has cleaned up with the richest voters, but struggled with regular Americans — doing worse with voters the closer they get to the average American income (based on data from IA, NH, SC, FL, and NV).
• In the last two years, Romney paid an average tax rate of 14 percent — lower taxes than a typical family making $55,000 a year.
• Now Romney is trying to cut his own taxes by nearly half while raising taxes for nearly half of middle-class families with children.
• It’s no wonder corporate special interests that benefit most from a rigged system would go for the politician who’ll keep it that way: in the last quarter alone, Wall Street anted up 12 times more campaign cash to Romney than Obama.
