First, the good news in this is that they seem to believe that the system is working. Otherwise, they’d just rig the vote and win. Somehow, they seem to fear that a constitutional conservative could win. That’s a positive thought.
Next, this will split the party and hand certain victory to the democrats. For some reason they don’t WANT the republicans to win in any case, because they know from when Romney turned left that enough of the base will desert them so as to hand the victory over to the democrats.
We have to wonder why they’d prefer a real democrat in the office rather than a liberal republican. I’m puzzled. That they don’t want the Senate says that they want Obama to continue appointing justices, senior civilians, and being able to block legislation from requiring his direct veto. That’s the only sense I can make out of it.
It would also probably allow the democrats to retain the Senate in case a republican were to win the next presidential election. I think more republican senate seats are vulnerable in the 2016 election.
Conservatives are a threat to those who get rich off government and the influence their money can purchase. They know that Tea Party Conservatives can't be easily bought. They want to make sure that their money will continue to buy influence so that their investments will be protected.
