The senate lessons: 1) start early, 2) come out swinging, 3) and engage with the grassroots.

GOPe strategy - be nice to everyone except your own base.

I really enjoy hanging out at Brietbart Texas. Very few GOPe trolls.

Don Huffines did all three of those things and beat a 24 year incumbent Senator. I don't know how much shoe leather he wore out, but he knocked on my door one Sunday and talked to me for a good ten minutes.

We have two problems in TN open primaries and lack of funding for a Conservative running against a big money bag RINO incumbent like lamar alexander. We still have no idea who the demwit will be, so voters will play it safe and choose RINO lamar who is 73. Conservative State Rep Joe Carr is his GOP opponent. Little funding, not enough exposure, not enough told about his voting record, which is way more conservative than lamar’s RINO one. http://www.carrfortn.com/

And when 2 conservatives run against a RINO, the RINO always wins. Just because the behind in the polls in single digits conservative will not back down and throw their support to the favorite one. Those 9 or 10 pts would have put over top the RINO. and make it easier to keep the seat or oust a Dem.

National GOP orgs only want RINOS.
