Why can’t the GOP ever elect a fire-eater in what are reliably Red States?
I know Georgia is turning purple, but the point still stands.
That is WHY Georgia is turning blue. If you’re a dem, why get an ersatz liberal republican when you can vote dem and get the real deal?
If you are a repub, the differences between a romneybot and a dem are at best, academic so you don’t care enough to fight.
Purple that is.
Kelly Loeffler would be an awful pick. Mini Mitt. Can anything be done?
Having watched them for a long time, it’s very simple. The powers that be ACTIVELY work to prevent REAL conservatives from getting into the senate.
If they can’t get a moderate-liberal republican, they’d prefer a democrat.
In states that are more prone to elect a real conservative, they scheme to prevent a conservative from getting elected, because the usual “only a moderate can win here” argument won’t work.
It’s happened again and again.
