“You have to nominate people who can actually win because winners make policy and losers go home,” McConnell said

McConnell is right on this one. Touche. Bannon lost and went home. So have a bunch of RINOs. But far more RINOs keep winning year after year. Winning or losing is not confined to any particular idealogy.

Actually that is one of the few points McConnell has made that I agree with. It takes more than idealogy to affect policy. One has to persuade people to vote for you.

Winning in McConnells mind means Murkowski, McCain, Snowe, etc. They did indeed set policy.
They kept Obamacare, they prevented Trump from making any recess appointments. They deepened the neo-cold war with Russia to give weight to Hillary’s excuse. They are screwing up tax relief. They laughed at the idea of a wall. They support the Russia investigation. They don’t want a wall.

McConnell is implying that you cant set policy unless you win. But with the policies we are getting, I cannot see what the point of winning was.

McConnell the idiot only cares about winning, and does not think that implies any style of government should be followed as a result of that “winning”.

Bannon is highly active and scaring the sh!t out of McConnell and the Obstruction.

And the purpose of winning is to enact policy, not just to fill a seat.

Not so plain to me, please explain the win of Judge Moore versus the loss of Luther Strange.
