GOP lost presidency because the candidate did not have fire in the belly until too late (first debate). Nor did he express a clear and concise view of his principles or his plan (as Reagan did). People will vote for the devil they know rather than one that waffles.
Contrary to popular wisdom, GOP did not lose senate in 2010 and 2012 because candidates were too conservative. They lost because tea party nominated too many dumbkopf women in 2010 and too many stupid men in 2012. If you are too stupid to handle a press interview or debate question with MSM reporters we don’t need you in the senate. We need intelligent people like Paul Ryan who can articulate their plans and dodge idiotic questions about rape, who don’t dabble in witchcraft, etc.
The tea party is shooting itself in the foot, because people are blaming the message, not the messengers.
I would not disagree entirely with that analysis, but don’t
be too hasty to throw the Tea Party under the bus. They did
support Ted Cruz and he won.
Akin and Mourdock are idiots.
